Who am |, to sit in judgement,
And condemn my fellow man?

In wise Creators plan2
You say they've sinned; perhaps
'twere SHINING
We can say not you or
The motive known, the deed we're diff.
ferent,
Let him say, who knows thee why.
Are they women? Treat them kindly.
God torgave them, why not your
Give them love, and human kindness;
Do as you would have them do.
Did you tell them not to falter,
Not to hang their heads and weep;
Tho the glorious, shining future
Seemed crumbling, ruined heap?
Plant the ivy OF forgetfulness

The star of hope will raise again,
After while; yes, after while.
Are they men? then lend them courage,
Reach hand, and watch them cling,
They are stranded on life's ocean,
Where the angry breakers fling.
You say they re weak. Well, are you
stronger?
Tell the battles you have done.
Some pass on where others falter;
Are victories always easily won?
Are the fields all wrapt in glory,
In the dark we'll of your hearth
II men knew your silent battles,
Could you play the hero's part?

In the solemn hours OF night;
Met and slain my unholy wishes,
And have hidden them from sight.
Am l proud OF all my victories2
No, They we're too closely won;
And l am not yet victor,
Till this race with life is done.
Can take the seat of judgment,
And condemn my fellow man?
l, myself am most imperfect;
Let them judge who feel they can.

Obituary.

Mrs. Ruth Tidwell Brooks was
born June 20, 1891; died June IS,
1915; aged thirty-three years,
eleven months and seventeen
days. When only a child she
accepted Christ as her Savior and
united with the Methodist church
at Bethany, where she lived a
loyal member to the day Of her
death. On Nov. II, 1907, she
was married to L. V. Brooks, and
to this union was given one child,
little Ruth Lee, whom God called
back to Himself only a few hours
before be called the dear mother.
Though her sudden taking
away came as a terrible blow to
friends and loved ones, death
found her with her house in
order, and when she passed
through the valley OF the shadow
of death the same loving God
whom she had trusted since
childhood was there to guide her.
We saw her at her fathers
death bravely and nobly help a
heartbroken mother to care for
and direct the affairs of a family
Of younger brothers and sisters,
and few years later, when the
mother was called home, we saw
her assume the duties of both
and elder sister to this
family. And thus has it ever
been; she performed each duty
God laid before her with a willing.
ness that made her life an in
spiration to those with whom she
was associated.
By her sweet disposition and
many good deeds she had en-
deared herself to a large circle of
friends who realize the world is
better by her having lived in
it.-A Friend.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. 1t
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

In Heaven.

The angel of death has again
visited our home and claimed for
its victim Eliza Annabel, beloved
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Mathis.
Annabel was born April %,
1911, died August 7, 1915, age
four years, four months and twelve
days.
Annabel was a precious jewell
in her home and was loved by
everyone who knew her. To see
her was to love her. She was so
kind and loving, sweet and fair.
She was just like little angel,
with eyes so true and blue. She
was always ready to divide any,
thing she had with her dear little
brother and playmates. She leaves
a broken.hearted mother, father,
one little brother, two grand
mothers, one grandfather, two
dear old great-grandmothers, and
a host OF relatives and playmates
to mourn her death.
She is waiting over yonder,
Over on the golden shore.
Yes, she's waiting there to meet us,
Meet us there to part no more.
Funeral services were conducted
at Public Wells by Rev. Webb
Jackson, and she was tenderly
laid to rest to await the resurrec-
ton morn.
Written by her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Killgore.

"OOdSOn's Liver Tone" Starts Your Liver
Better Than CaIOmeI and You Don't

Liven up your sluggish liver Feel
fine and cheerful make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-
ton. But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

An amusing incident took place
here during the recent term Of cir

was brought before the court
charged with selling liquor at Mar

niless, and asked one or two
lawyers at the bar about the case,
but none of them would trouble
themselves to give answer. Finally
she appealed to the court himself,
and be informed her he was no
lawyer, to employ counsel who
would address the court in her
behalf. An effort was made to
make bond for her after bond had
been fixed. Still the lawyers
didn't pay much attention to Aunt
Matt. When realty in Martin. was
refused as security, she stepped to
one corner Of the room, yanked up
her skirts, dug down into-well,
you know where woman carries
his purse-and brought out $3.50,
which she put up as security. All
Of a sudden every lawyer in the
house remembered that in other
days she had nursed 'em, cooked
and washed for them. Ed Maiden,
in bis usual suave manner, went
over and wanted to know if Aunt
Matte had been well all these
years. Harry Jones declared
she looked just as young as she
did thirty years agone, when she
cooked atthe Jones home" Holla-
day declared the telephone had

Even the court himself, after

the sheriff to get Aunt Matte

negro woman like that to stand so

=TOWN AND COUNTY,


A number OF citizens interested
in the proposed Thompson creek
and Middle Fork drainage district
met here Friday, and, after a con.
ference agreed to postpone the petit.
tioning for this drainage district
for the present. We understand
that the agreement was mutual.
The heavy rains, followed by
considerable wind, Of last week
did untold damage to cornss and
tobacco crops, many citizens re-
port great loss. The continued
rains soaked the ground through
and through and the wind blew
both corn and tobacco down.
Early corn which was heavy with
nearly matured ears suffered most.
Mr.. W. G. Montgomery, together
with his father, Mr.. ]. B. Mont
gomery, of Ripley, spent several
days in this, his native county last
week. Young MONTGOMERY re-
sides in Memphis, where he has
been since leaving Weakley county,
fourteen years ago. He seems to
be prospecting in the Bluff City,
which his friends are glad to note.
Mr.. Chas. Sandefer informs us
that a number of the county's best
singers will assemble at the First
Baptist church in Martin on next
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and
spend the afternoon in song SER
vice. The singing will be charge
of that master singer, Prof. Spence
Freeman, and a number Of the
classes will be represented. The
handsome new pipe organ at the
Baptist church will be used and
this will afford many an opportuni-
ty of hearing this excellent instru-
ment for the first time. All invited.
A friend called our attention last
Friday, after the Enterprise was
printed, to the omission of the
name Of one attorney in two i'm
portant suits tried in the circuit
court. We neglected to say that
Mr.. King Webb was counsel in
the Hillis-Scates case and the Gus
Reed case, though gave all the
names of the other counsel on both
sides in each case. We do not
want the public to think this was
intentional-King himself knows
hat it was not-but the public
may think so. We don't know
Why on earth it is that editors
make these plumbers, unless it be
hat they are just like other folks
human, and liable to err.
On Thursday OF last week, Mr..
lin Duke closed a deal for the sale
# his residence to Mrs. Mamie
.ryine, relict Of the late Bob Irvine,
Who has been residing in Memphis
With her daughter, Mrs. Annie
lee Taylor, since the death of Mr.,
irvine. The new purchaser will
move here and take possession
long about Sept. l, when Mr.,
Duke and family remove to May
ield, where he will be connected
With the firm of McElwrath &
Brooks. While Dresden regrets
he loss Of Mr.. Duke and family,
We all know he will do like so
many others have done and like
lrs. Irvine and daughter are
Ioing-come back to the good old
own, and we most heartily well
ONE the latter.
