FIVE GENERATIONS MEET.

Esq. j. NJ. Ridgeway, eighty
seven years young, was in Dresden
last Monday en- route home from
Palmersville, where he spent
several days with his daughter,
Mrs. Julia Atkins. On Monday
morning picture was made OF
Mr.. Ridgeway and his kin, there
being FIVE generations represented,
as follows: Mr.. Ridgeway, eighty.
seven years Of age; Mrs. Julia Ann
Atkins, about sixty-three; Mr..
Gus Atkins, her son, about forty
five; his daughter, Mrs. Brann,
about twenty, and the latter's two
year.old daughter, making FIVE
generations in all. This is a rare
distinction which ESQ. Ridgeway
enjoys.

Water Turned in Mains.

The standpipe at the water plant
was filled and tested Monday and
Tuesday, one or two minor leaks
being discovered, but these have
or will have been corked before
the close Of the week. Water was
also turned into the mains on
Wednesday morning and out
through the plugs-quite an un-
usual sight in Dresden. Wonder
what the fellow who said thirty
years ago, when the saloons were
driven from Dresden, would say
today could he take a peep at the
old town with her system of water
works, electric lighting plant, con-
crete walks, macadamized streets,
handsome brick school building,
numbers of elegant brick resi-
dences and modern business
houses we'll stocked? Eph? No
doubt he would consider himself a
mighty poor prophet.

District Conference.

District conference for the Paris
district, Methodist church, South,
will be held in Dresden on July
6, 7 and 8, the opening sermon
to be delivered Tuesday night at
the Methodist church. A num-
Der of delegates will be here and
the committee securing homes for
these delegates reports splendid
success. The conference will ad-
journ Thursday afternoon.
This will be another splendid
opportunity for our people to
make a favorable impression up
on the towns guests, and the
Enterprise suggests that a special
effort be put forward to show our
visitors a good time. Be nice to
every one, take them auto riding
and let them view our pretty
homes, our water and light and
ice plants, our tobacco prizing
houses, school building, and SO
on. Point out all these things-be

RUSSIANS RETREAT
ON 25O-MILE LINE,

London, June 29.-Driven back
over their own frontier, north o.
Lemburg, and forced to cross the
river Guila Lipa, in southeast
Galicia, the Russian armies con.
tinue to retreat before the Austro.
Germans along front of approx
matelv $50 miles.
Berlin records progress in vir-
tually the entire southeastern thea
tire, although violent fighting still
is in progress beyond the Guila
Lipa, which joins the Dniester at
Halicz. '-.
Having forced a passage of this
stream, Gen. Won Linsengin's
army is presumably astride the
railway running from Halicz to
Lemberg and Stanislau, and now,
doubtless, is aiming at the line
which runs from Lemberg to
Odessa, through Tarnapol.
1t seems evident that Germany
is bent on further punishment for
the Russians before relaxing the
intensity of her Galician campaign,
but with the Russians across the
frontier, the Germans will have to
rely almost solely on road trans
port and their advance will be
slower.
The British press still voices the
hope that the Russians soon will
find tenable line and deliver a
counter-blow, but there is a note
Of anxiety in nearly all the &C.
counts, together with the warning
that either the capture of Warsaw
or the seizure Of the great railway
lines which supply it would be dis
astrous to Russia and surely would
be followed by another general
German offensive in the west.
Notwithstanding the French at
tacks around Arras, it is argued
that the Germans must feel COM
paratively secure in the west, else
they would not have risked their
tremendous enveloping move
against the Russians. The French
are persisting in their assaults in
the neighborhood Of Arras, but
without appreciable change in the
situation.

MISS HILLS ENTERTAIAs,

On Tuesday afternoon Miss
Daye Hills entertained the Intre
Nous club at her home on Main
street. The parlor and hall were
attractively decorated in clusters of
blossoms entwined with greenery,
carrying out a green and white
color scheme. Progressive games
were INDUCED in during the alter
noon. A delightful menu was
enjoyed, consisting Of a salad
course, followed by a delicious ice
with cakes and mints. Miss Ruth
Beasley, of Hopkinsville, KY, was
guest Of honor. At the close, the
wedding announcement Of Miss
Hills and DR.. Basil Mayo was
read by Mrs. Phillip D. Harris

HIGHWAY
IS AN ASSURED FACT,

as many as twenty hands to work
on his road on the day to be set
apart later as general road work.
ing day. This is what we call the
true spirit, and the kind it will re-
quire to put Weakley county on
J the map SO far as good roads is
concerned. We wonder how many
more men we have who will prove
as liberal and generous.
When it comes to committee
work Finis Garrett and Harry
Butts are sure enough workers,
and these gentlemen deserve cred
it for what they did last Monday;
while, upon the other hand,
Messrs. Bowden, Murphy and
Scott showed that they know how
to put a proposition convincingly,
as every landowner on their link,
except one, signed the obligation
donating the land.
Now, after a while this road is
to be made a sure enough high.
way, but it cannot be done unless
every person interested in better
roads puts shoulder to the wheel.
On Monday afternoon Repre-.
sentative Garrett wired the agri-
cultural department at Washing
ton asking that a civil engineer be
sent from the department to Dres-
den to assist in laying out the
roads for this road improvement
and on Tuesday Mr.. Garrett re-
ceived a Geographic message stat
ing that an engineer from the de.
partment would reach Dresden
within a week. He will devote a
reasonable length of time to this
county, and later on Mr.. Garrett
hopes to have United States good
roads man here with us to super
intend a part of the work complet-
ed here. Mr.. Garrett has thrown
his whole soul and body into this
great and good cause. Besides de-
voting several days this week to
the work he will get all he reason
ably can from the department at
Washington, and this means a
great deal; and we heard him re-
mark the other day that he would
employ as many as twenty-five
hands who do not reside on the
Dresden-Martin road, to put in a
days time each on July 20, which
is to be the date set for a general
road working on this link OF the
Nashville.to.D highway.
On Tuesday, Mr., Garrett, Mr..
Levy and Mr.. Jas. Moran inter-
viewed the citizens between Dres-
den and Gleason, and we are glad
to say those good people generous.
ly and nobly signed the obligation
donating the land for a forty-foot
road. There were two or three
who asked further time to consid-
er the matter, but no one refused
outright.

11OI lOE Lu6 lUFGy"lOUb highway
through the county,
For a couple OF years good
deal has been said and written
about a forty.foot highway connect
ing Dresden and Martin, but little
done toward putting the PROPOSE
ton into a reality, until recently,
when good roads committees were
appointed for a tier OF west Ten.
nessee counties; and the Weakley
county committee, composed Of
Hon. Geo. E. Bowden, W. T. MUIR
ply and Joe L. Holbrook, got to-
gether in Martin last Friday and
laid plans for a highway through
the county from east to west, car
rying out the recommendation OF
a resolution adopted by the county
court in quarterly session some
thing like three years ago, the re-
solution recognizing this route as
a county highway route and so de-
signaling it.
On last Saturday the following
committees were appointed for the
purpose of interviewing the land
owners to ascertain who would
donate land for right-of-way for a
forty-foot highway: To work from
Martin toward Dresden-Hon.
Geo. E. Bowden, Rev. A. E. Scott
and W. T. Murphy. To work from
Dresden toward Martin: Hon. Fl
mis- j. Garrett, Esq. H. J. Butts,
John Templeton, Almus Adams
and Joe L. Holbrook. To work
from Martin toward the Obion
county line-Geo. Knox and what
ever assistants he might chose. To
work from Dresden toward Glea-
son-Judge R. E. Maiden and M.
H. Levy. To work from Gleason
toward Dresden-Drs. R. W.
Bandy and |. ]. Tatum. The lat.
ter, however, declined to serve.
The committees working on the
Dresden.Marti link of the Nash
ville-to-Hickman highway started
out Monday morning and did a
faithful days work, the two COM
mittees meeting at 2 o'clock at the
home Of Will Fields, which is
half way, after putting in some
hard work going over fields and
climbing fences to find land own
ers, and without dinner. The re-
suit of the days work was that
every landowner on the nine.mile
stretch signed the obligation to do
nate sufficient land for a fortv-foot
highway, excepting three, and
these gentlemen have the matter
under consideration. No one
doubts but that they will sign up
the obligation, or even it they don't
they will give the land when the
proper time comes.
Those who signed the obligation
on the Dresden end are: Will Will
son, M. M. House, J. s. Moore, ].
S. Killebrew, B. A. Rogers, J. W.
Templeton, A. G. Adams, ]. W.
Adams, IRA Adams, R. E. Adams,
D. A. McWherter, H. M. Kille-
brew, Homer Adams, G. s. Boyd.
On the Martin end those signing
for the donation OF land are: L. w.
Phelps, ]. P. Haskins, Geo. and
Halbert Dodd, Henry Gardner, A.
]. Williams, Mrs. Inez Childress.
Mrs. D. A. Frazier, S. T. Fuqua,
W. T. Brooks, ]. T. Killgore, w.
r. Babb, Fred Parish, Ruth
Parish, Will Fields. This includes
all the landowners along the pre-
pose route, excepting three.
The Gleason-road committees
did not get to work on Monday.
One gentleman who does not re-
side on this road and who travels
it but little, is so enthusiastic over
the prospects for a modern high
way through the county, has
voluntarily and without solicita-
ton obligated himself to employ

RECEIVER ASKED FOR
CITY OF NASHVILLE

the Nashville municipal scandal,
which has kept the city in a Juror
since the discovery Of the theft Of
a number of the city records and
the Indication that large sums
have been taken from the city
Golfers.
Soon after suit had been filed
in the chancery court seeking to
throw the city into the hands Of
receivers, City Treasurer Charles
Myers was arrested on a warrat
sworn out by City Comptroller
Miles Burns, charging fraudulent
breach of trust. In the warrant
Burns charges that Myers had col
lected more than $4,000 from the
banks Of Nashville as interest on
daily balances on deposits which
has never been properly credited
to the city's account.
Myers was arrested by Chief Of
Police Barthell and made bond for
$4,000.
The suit to throw the city into a
a receivership was filed by Burns
and was signed by other citizens.
Commercial organizations of the
city have appointed committees
on safety" to deal with the NUM-
cipal situation.
Many sensational charges are
made in the bill filed by the comp
troller, hearing on which will pro-
badly be held tomorrow. The suit
was filed against the mayor, mem
bers OF the city commission and
the city treasurer and the surety
company upon the bonds of the
officials.
In the prayer of the bill it is
sought to collect back for the city
of Nashville money illegally spent,
misappropriated and otherwise
wasted by the officials of the city.
1t is also sought to recover money
which it is said has been illegally
spent on the contracts let by city
officials. In the third place, the.
bill seeks to enioin any further
waste of the city's money by Of
fcials in illegal contracts.
Many charges are made in the
body Of the bill. One of the first
of these is that the financial status
of the city of Nashville has been
seriously impaired by the gross
Irregularities that have existed in
the management Of the city's
affairs. Sums of money paid by
banks on the city's deposits have
been used from time to time, it is
declared, and have sometimes been
returned to the city and sometimes
not. Often, according to the bill,
sums Of money have been paid out
without any authorizing ordinance
having been passed. Funds from
the sale Of bonds, it is charged,
have been used for indiscriminate
purposes in direct violation of the
city charter, which requires that
these shall be kept apart.
Specific charges are made that
when the city issued the street i'm
provement bonds Of 1914 for $685.
600 it was overdrawn to the
amount Of 100000 on its ordinary
fund account. Instead Of deposit
ing the street improvement money
to the bond account, it is charged
that the money was used to meet
the overdraft Of 100000 and was
checked on Unfortunately for
general expense in the operation
Of the city government.
The use Of this money, it is al
legged, tided the city over until
August, 1914, when twas replac.
ed by the money received from the
tax levy of that year. The city
then took up the burden of the
on the street imdrove-
ments and had about 100000 to
its credit, exclusive Of its sinking
fund for operating expenses dur

IS MADE TO WRITE
CHECK FOR $4,000.

owner OF the Greenfield negro
pool-roonn, on Wednesday Of last
week forced Mr.. S. j. (Seib) Hills
at the point Of a double-barreled
shotgun to write him 1.-THE negro)
check for $4,000, threatening to
blow Mr.. Hills brains out if the
latter did not make haste and
write the check. "a
The black devil told Mr.. Hill he
was going to kill him, but wanted
to kill no man with his shoes on,
and, punching Mr.. Hills in the
stomach with the muzzeIpf the
gun, forced Mr.. Hills to remove
bis shoes.
After the check, calling for
$4,000 and duly signed by Mr..
Hills, had been handed over to
the negro, he forced Mr.. Hills to
drive him to town in Hills buggy.
The hold-up occurred at the
Hills farm, about one and a half
miles from town, where Mr.. Hills
was engaged looking after some
farm work, and where, it is sup
posed, the negro went armed for
the purpose eilafSTcing the aged
citizen t0%rite a cGeoAsS;l- a large
"a Of money.
Arriving at town, the negro
went straight to the Greenfield
Bank, presenting the check to
Cashier Bob Goolsby for payment,
but Goolsby was suspicious OF two
things-frst, the large sum OF
money called for in the check,
made payable to a common negro
pool.room operator; and, second,
the signature which the check
%, Mr.. Hills having the fore
a6ught to sign "Seib" instead OF
S. j." Hills, the latter being his
custom. which the bank officials
we'll knew. Payment, Of course,
was declined, and the impudent
black sconderal folded the check,
put it into hispocket and strobe
out.
The matter was kept secret,
as it was decided to obtain pos
session OF the check; and late
Saturday afternoon Sheriff LaFon
: and Senator Elkins, the latter
being Mr.. Hills son-in.law, were
called to Greenfield hurridly. Up
on arrival OF the sheriff a state
warrant was sworn out before
ESQ. Hornbeak for the negro and
same was served by Sheriff Fon,
assisted by Deputies Ned Hatcher
and Finis Summers, the latter
accompanying the sheriff to Green
field. The check was recovered.
The prisoner was carried before
ESQ. Hornbeak and waived ex-
animation. The whole transaction
was carried on without being
known to the citizens of Greenfield,
as it was feared the black devil
would be summarily dealt with
at the hands of an indignant
citizenship were the full particu.
lars Of his heinous crime made
known, but before a great num-
Der were aware Of what had taken
place he was FASTENED into an
automobile and brought to Dres-
den.
About 8 o'clock Saturday night
Sheriff LaFon received informa-
tioh that feeling against the ne
gro at Greenfield was intense and
growing. Mr.. LaFon, therefore,
employed an automobile and car
ried his prisoner to Union City.
However, there was no demon
ton. AT sast, there was none
here. The sheriff and party got
back here at 2 o'clock Sunday

negro will be held for the
ogust grand jury, when he will
likely be indicted on several
counts-extortion, assault and
battery with intent to commit
murder and threatening the life of
another.
Sheriff LaFon went to Union
City on Tuesday and brought the
negro back here.
