ANDREW COOK
The Enterprise this week publishes the announcement of Mr. W. A. Cook, of the 12th district as a candidate for Trustee in the coming primary Election. Mr. Cook was born and raised in Overton county, and has lived all his life in the 3rd, 12th, and 4th districts, and is 41 years of age. He has held the office of district Tax Assessor for his district and is now Justice of the Peace for his district, and also member for this district of the County Democratic Executive Committee. Andrew Cook, as he is familiarly known, is a good man, has always been a loyal and true democrate, and is thoroughly competent to fill the office to which he aspires, being fitted by education and business training and experience to perform the duties of the office himself, without outside help or assistance.
Mr. Cook is well known over the county, and has been prominently identified with public affairs in the County, and has a host of warm personal friends. That he will be an important factor in this race is conceded.

BROKEN ARM
Mrs. W. H. Fleming, who lives with her daughter, Mrs. B. H. Hunt, sustained a broken arm a day or two ago, as the result of a fall. We are glad to report that she is getting along fairly well, and it is hoped that she will soon regain the use of her arm.

Crawford
Editor Enterprise; As we seldom hear from this neck of the woods through the Enterprise, I will pen a few items that may be of interest to some in other parts of the country.
We are still on the map of fair Overton county, and very much alive to the best interest of our people along progressive lines of internal improvements that will place our county in rank with our sister couties in this state, or any other state:
Our people here in Crawford are rejoicing over tha fact that the 23 day of October is close at hand, when we can go and vote for 160,000 dollars bond issue for the purpose of building good roads that we need worse than anything else for the time being in order to open up our country; to develop greater industrial enterprises, to invite capital amony us for investment in factories of various kinds; to properly prepare the products of the farms for the markets of the world. Before we have good roads that will connect the country with the railroads we need never look for anyone to invest capital among us for any enterprise whatsoever. The bonding system that enables the boundless business enterprises of the entire world to be carried on successfully, so it is amusing to listen to some of these prophets of Baal predicting a Waterloo in the event of a bond issue, and never offering a substitute or pointing out some better way or system than the one now in use. So now my fellow voters who are in favor of greater development of our natural resources in Overton county, tht will bring more money to us, better homes, better churches, and attendance, better schools, and attendance and a better citizenship.
On the morning of the 23rd, arm yourself with your last poll tax receipt, if you need one, and go and vote for the bonds, and exercise a right you owe to yourself and your dear family and to your county.
