Each member of the booster crew

Senator Elkins taking six glasses
Of sweet milk and four of butter

The speakers for the boosters
were Senator Elkins, Harry

Gardner and Farm Demonstration
Ellis, the latter talking up the
agricultural branch of the lair.
The talks were brief, but chock
full OF information and good
boosting for the greatest fair in
West Tennessee,
On Thursday morning the
boosters left Dresden for the see
ond days trip, going first to Ore
Springs and through the eastern,
southeastern, southeren and south
western portions Of the county.
There can be no doubt about
this trip proving a great stimu-
liant for the fair. 1t is believed
that an increased attendance will
result from this advertising.
Fair literature was literally
distributed at each point and
along the entire route.
The band boys deserve praise
for rendering their services the
two days free Of charge. The
music made was literally COM
plimented at every stop. Some
people had no idea Dresden had
such a splendid musical organiza-
ton as the Duke G. Bowers Brass
Band.

First Frost.

The first frost of the season Of
1915 was on the morning of Oct.
6, which was last Wednesday, Just
twenty-one days earlier than last
year and nineteen days earlier than
1913. The first frost of 1914 was
on the morning of Tuesday, Oct.

For several years we have been
keeping a record Of the first frosts
and first SHOWS and we find this
record to be interesting at times,
as people forget these little matters.

The FAIR BOOSTERS
ROYALTY RECEIVED

The Weakley county fair boo
tiers, twenty-five strong, in five
automobiles, returned to Dresden
Wednesday at 6 o'clock, tired,
dusty and worn out, but enthusi-
astlc to the core and full of praises
OF the cordial reception given them
at every stop along the ninety mile
trip.
At each place, except Gardner,
the boosters found awaiting them
a very large crowd, even at Salem,
which point was reached an hour
late, and after sun down, large
crowd OF men, women and school
children greeted the happy, merry
band of boosters. At Sidonia
some 250 school children and many
men and women were in waiting
and would not permit the band to
leave until an extra tune was
plased.
Stops were made at the following
places, at each of which from one
to four pieces was by the band and
speeches made: Haskins' store,
John Wess Smiths residence,
making music here for good .old
Grandma Smith; Palmersville,
Burton's store, Williams Mill,
Dukedom, Ruthville, Mcconnell,
Gardner, Mt. Pelia, Limbs, Sidonia,
Sharon and Rambo's store at
Salem church.
Upon reaching Dresden at 6
o'clock the tired boosters were
greeted with cheers and the band
boys made music in front of the
Dresden hotel.
One pleasant feature of the trip
which the boosters will always
cherish was the extraordinary
courteous treatment which Mr..
Chas. Ross gave them when the
boosters spread their lunch at
Ruthville. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
came out with two large buckets
one containing five gallons of

Mr.. PATTERSON IS
CORDIALLY RECEIVED

The most enthusiastic and cor
dial reception ever given former
Governor M. R. Patterson upon
his arrival in Dresden was &C.
corded him on last Monday, when
he was met at the depot by sever
al hundred people, the Duke G.
Bowers brass band OF Dresden,
and some fifteen automobiles. Mr..
and Mrs. Patterson came in on the
41:51 train from Nashville and
were met by a special reception
committee headed by Senator Ell
kins. The ex-governor and wife
were escorted to the automobile Of
Joe l.. Holbrook, who whirled
them to town and to the Jones
hotel. Here an enthusiastic crowd
was found awaiting Mr.. Patter-
sons arrival.
Owing to threatening weather,
the speaking was begun little
earlier than the announced hour.
Mr.. Elkins presided and intro
duced Hon. Harry E. Jones, who,
in a nice little talk presented the
speaker.
Sitting on the platform were a
number of leading democrats of
the county, some of whom had
never before been Patterson sup
porters, but who wore the Patter-
son campaign button upon this
occasion. The audience was a
large and attentive one, giving
rapt attention, since this was the
first time Mr.. Patterson had APP
peared here in his new role OF
temperance advocate and there
were many white ribboners in the
who were anxious to
hear him.
He clearly and Enthusiastically
defined his position on the liquor
question, stating manfully that he
was once in error in his views on
this great question, but had be-
come convinced that the liquor
traffic could not be controlled, but
must be ousted. AT the conclus-
ion of his address he was present

QUARTERLY COURT
HOLDS BUSY SESSION

county quarterly court was that O
last Monday and Tuesday. Wher
brit opened Monday it was con

There was a great flood or ora.

] discussion OF a motion to appro-
pirate the sum of $500 for a girls
canning club demonstration. And
still there was some when the
question came up to audit the
books of the various officers of the
county, but this latter was, per-
haps, lost in the whirlpool Of re-
funding 81 tax overpaid.
The motion to appropriate the
$500 for girls canning club dem
onstrator finally carried. This
sum is to be supplemented by a
like amount from the state agricul-
tural department. Mrs. Harding,
at the head Of this very important
branch OF our state agricultural
department, was present and made
"a nice little talk. This appropria.
ton simply means that next year
the girls of this county will have
tomato canning clubs all over the
county, the same that most of our
progressive neighbor counties
have. This was a meritorius APP
fRopriation.
The state revenue bill passed by
the last legislature relative to rri-
vileges and litigation had never
been adopted by this county court
