Learned How to Read

A Buena Vista correspondent to the Columbus Enquirer- Sun says:

Mr. W.H. Sales, one of the most prosperous farmers of Marion County, who has 
thirty bales of cotton lying in front of his house, says that he owes his 
prosperity to the Enquirer-Sun.  When a small boy he went to Columbus, and 
there a solicitor for the paper asked him to subscribe.  He told him that he 
could not read.  The solicitor told him that he ought to take a paper, as he 
would then learn how to read.  He did so, handing over a dollar.  He has paid 
in his dollar every one of the thirty-odd years since.  He learned to read 
shortly, and has read the Enquirer-Sun with pleasure ever since.  He said that 
he expected to do so as long as he lives.
