orloIn Of Heels on Shoes.

It Is said that the heels worn on
shoes had their origin in Persia, where
they took the form OF fiat wood on
sandals to raise the feet and protect
them from the hot sands. 1t was many
years afterward that this fashion was
introduced into veasce. but the reason
seems to have been quite different
Here the originators of the fashion
were jealous husbands who reasoned
that their ladies'. thus equipped. would
not venture far outside the precincts
Of their dwelling. These heels were
called Clogs" and In order to satisfy
the vanity OF the wearers and perhaps
TO sweeten the pill-that is, the dis
comfort Of appearing in them-they
we're deliberately adorned. sometimes
being incrusted with gold and silver.

Corn Club Show.

The annual roundup Corn
Club show will take place in Dres-
den on November 81, in connec-
ton with the teachers institute,
which is to be held on the same
day. Every corn club boy in the
county is expected to be in Dres-
den that day with a ten.ear ex-
hibit of corn and his report book
made out in fnll.
An elaborate premium list is
being raised and it is the desire
of the Corn Club committee to
give the boys profitable DAVIS
entertainment.
At this time boys are cautioned
to gather their corn according to
Rule VII in A circular No. IA,
which states that that the entire
amount Of corn should be weighed,
the load measured and both meas
urements and weight be. attested
by two disinterested parties. This
is very important and no parent
should get in a hurry and fail to
carry out this feature Of the work,
as its failure will likely debar one
from competing for all prizes on
the premium list.

Three Tobacco Barns Burned

Tuesday seems to have been
a rather unlucky day for tobacco
growers in this community, as on
this day three barns full of to-
bacco were burned.
A barn on the farm of Mr..
John Haskins, northeast Of town
about four miles, was burned.
This barn contained about 812
sticks of very fine tobacco be-
longing to Carl Harrison, who
had the barn rented. A large
barn on the farm Of Henry Smith,
near Latham, housing the crop
Of tobacco Of Mr.. Walter Watson,
was burned on this unlucky day
also. Peyton Carlton had his
barn rented to Mr.. Hillman
Parrish and Sonney Hayse and
it was laid to waste. This barn
contained 1900 sticks Of good to-
bacco.
The loss on these growers is
quite heavy and their friends
sympathize with them.

AN INTERESTING
RACE PROGRAM.

A large number Of trotters and
PAGERS were here for the annual
race meet this year. Nearly all
these horses, some twenty-odd in
number, came here from other
circuits, being attracted to this
track because of its record and
reputation as a very fast track,
said to be the best half-mile track
in this whole section.
The racing was goodwill Of
60 and some real contests were
had. Heretofore, it has been
claimed, that we have had no
racing at some of our fairs, but
this cannot be truthfully claimed
this time. The 2:55 pace on open
ing day was not finished, on ac-
count Of rain in the afternoon,
only two heats being run.
Following are the four days
race results:

DRESDEN FIRE DE-
PARTMENT PLANNED

A number OF citizens met in the Of
flee of Recorder Lewis on Tuesday
night and laid plans for a fire fighting
company.
The town is divided into four wards,
special fire signals to be sounded for
each ward to aid the fire fighters in
determining the location of a fire be-
fore starting out.
II. A. Lewis is fire chief. 1t will be
his duty to arrive at the place OF the
fire as quickly as possible and have
plans laid out for the fighting of the
fire by the time the fire fighters ar
rive with the hose.
John Taylor, captain OF first depart
ment, to be located on the public
square, and W. D. Brasfeld, captain
OF the second department, which will
be located near the depot, whose du-
ties it will be when an alarm is sound
ed to hasten to their respective depart
ment stations and see that the fire
boys bring out the hose and ladders to
the place Of the fire. 1t will also be
the duty OF each captain to direct his
department fire boys at the fire, ac-
cording to instructions from the chief.
The captain will, however, be expect
ed to make suggestions to the chief if
he thinks he sees an advantage over
the plans Of the chief; but no one will
be allowed to make suggestions to the
fire boys, except the captains and the
chief, and the chief shall not make
any suggestion to the fire boys, except
through the captain in charge. Any
outsider making suggestions, however
good it might be, would be confusing
and dangerous.
The fire departments are to have the
exclusive right of way on the streets,
alleys and lawns when going to fire.
The town OF Dresden is divided into
four wards, as follows:
All territory within the corporate
limits east Of the street running south
from F. G. Ezell's tobacco barn to W.
A. McCuan's tobacco barn constitutes
Ward No. l. All territory between the
above street and depot street consti-
tutes Ward No. 2, All territory be-
tween depot street and the street run
ming from the cemetery to the Jail con-
stitutes Ward No, 3. All territory west
of street running from cemetery to the
Jail constitutes Ward No. 4.
The following signals from the pow
er plant will sound the alarm of fire
and denote its location:
Geneneral alarm: One continuous
wildcat whistle of one.half minute,
followed by one five-second whistle if
fire is in First Ward; two five-second
whistles if in Second Ward; three five.
second whistles if in Third Ward, and
four five-second whistles if in Fourth
Ward.
Following these signals one short
whistle means the fire is near south
end OF ward; two short if near center,
and three shorts if fire is near north
end of ward, Five shorts means fire
is on the public square.

SMITH ALTERNATELY
KILLS JOE WARD.

On Monday morning, on the
Smith Alternately farm, down IL
the forks Of the river in the TWEEN
ty-second district, occurred a trag-
edy that shocked the entire com
munity. Mr.. Smith Alternately
who is sixty-nine years OF age
stabbed and killed his tenant, Jot
Ward, aged fifty-fve years. The
killing occurred at the Ware
home, on the Alternately farm, ii
the presence Of Wards two sons
one about nine years of age anC
the other said to be about sixteen
It is claimed that Alternately
and Ward had a misunderstood
ing some time ago, since which
time there has not been the best
Of feelings between the two men.
On Monday Mr.. Alternately went
to Wards home and is said to
have remarked to Ward that be
had better take advantage of the
season and strip out his crop Of
tobacco. Ward, it is said, replied
that he would look after the mat
ter when it suited him or at his
convenience. Both men grew an
CRY, it is presumed, and the diff
Guilty ensued. Ward is alleged to
have picked up a chair and made
for Alternately with it, the latter
grabbing the chair and with the
other hand stabbed Ward, using a
small knife, but which proved to
be a deadly instrument, making a
small wound over the heart and
the blade penetrating the. heart.
This did not stop the fight, as the
two men continued the scuffle I'M
til ward became too weak to re-
-ist. Alternately assisted him to
"a bed and had a physician called,
Tut before the physician arrived
Ward had breathed his last, dying
within thirty minutes after being
stab bed. The wound bled but
little.
Ward was a widower, living
alone with his two sons. Aberna-
thy is a well-known and well-to-do
citizen Of the Twenty-second dis
trict. He has several grown chill
dren, one a school teacher.
AS soon as learning Of the kill
ing Deputy Ned Hatcher went to
the Alternately farm, meeting Mr..
Alternately, who surrendered with
out murmer. He was arraigned
before a justice of the peace and
placed under a $4,000 bond, which
he readily gave, but was later ar
rested on a new warrant, charg-
ing murder in the first degree.
Deputy Claud Nowlin remained
with the old man over night and
brought him to Dresden Tuesday
afternoon. He was sent to jail
to await the committing trial,
which is set for Friday before
Esqs. Lipscomb and Kimery.
Maiden & Maiden have been en-
ployed to defend Alternately and L.
E. Holladay to assist in the prose-
cution,
