HE ENTERPRISE BUYS
A LINOTYPE MACHINE
It is with pleasure that The Enterprise announces to its
eaders and the public that on March 24th it placed an order
■ith the Mergenihaler Linotype Company, of New York, for
S linotype machine and we have been notified that the ma

Kithin a few days. Covington and Newton
\\’ e have realized that county need*
d an U p.to-date and modern newspaper, one entirely worthy
people ol this section, and hence we have placed the
^«rder for this machine which will enable us to give to the peo*
e they need. Without such equipment it is impossi
ile to give to the public a modern and representative paper.
While this is a very expensive piece of machinery to pur
hase, yet it is very necessary in order to do full justice to the
ewspaper field in Newton county.
The addition of this type-setting machine will make The
interprise one of only two newspaper offices in Middle Gcor
ia thoroughly equipped for business, and we feel pardonably
roud of the fact that we are in a position to add this machine
hich will enable us to do,the work that has so long been neg-
3C ted here and for which there is a demand.
This machine, operated by one man, will do the work of
ix ordinary printers, which will enable us to give the people
t complete newspaper.
We are fully cognizant of the fact that the people of this
iommunity realize that The Enterprise is the only paper that
ias stood the test of time.
It has seen others come and go, but it has pursued the
;ven tenor o' its way, visiting regularly the homes of the peo
pie each week for more than forty-five years.
With this modern machinery the paper will contiue its
regular visits, bigger, brighter and better than ever before.

and women who compose the sinew of this county.

COLLEGE BOYS MADE A
HIT WITH MUSIC AND
The ooncert given by the Emory
Orchestra and Glee club under the
auspices of the Third circle of the
Woman’s Club last Friday even¬
ing was a success artistically as
well as financially.
It. was Emory evening in Cov¬
ington.!
This fact, as well as the worthy
cause for which the entertain
ment was given, attracted an ap¬
preciative audience. The even¬
ing’s performance was an artistic
triumph for the young men who
fairly played and sung their way
into the hearts of all present.
The program presented was an
| ) attractive one and rendered with 1
that exquisite feeling and full- !
i heartedness which conquered th»
hearts of the audience. Each
number was followed with ap¬
plause that was insistent, demand¬
ing an encore. To these demands
the young men responded most
graciously, showing a varied and
attractive repertoire.

Nelson Page is always delightful,

TWO NEWTON COUNTY MEN WERE
WITH WIRZ AT ANDERSONVILLE
The unveiling of the Wirz mon¬
ument at Andersonville Wednes¬
day was an event of deep interest
to the U. D. C. and the people
generally.
It was of especial significance
to two Newton county men who
were guards at the Andersonville
prison under Major Wirz, and who
are among the very lew survivors
of that band of guards.
R. L. Meadors, of Oxford, and
John Neely, who lives near Cov¬
ington, are the two men who bear
this distinction.
They were members of company
I, Fourth Georgia Reserves, un¬
der command of former Governor
A. D. Candler. They served as
guards at the prison for fourteen
months. It has been charged
Major Wirz was extremely

prisoners were treated with

circumstances.

THE MOTHER’S PROBLEM
Of Raisins Strong, Healthy Girls.
A serious problem which presents it¬
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencies of school
life, the hurry and routine of every-day
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present a ser¬
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters, Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by Itself, and cannot b«
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Bchopfer, 5920 Prescott
Ave., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr.
Hartman, says: “My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was a puny, sickiy,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com¬
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and well.” Moss,
Another mother, Mrs. Martha
R. P. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: “Our little eight-year-old girl
had a bad cough, and was in a genera,
run-down condition.” She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re¬
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: “You have
done a great deal for her. She is th«
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
us to have her cured.”
These are samples of many letters
which Dr. Hartman is receiving, coin¬
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are of littU
