RUN DOWN BY CAR;
BOYS LEG BROKEN,

A distressing, but unavoidable
accident, occurred on Depot street
Tuesday morning, when Winston
Edwards, a negro boy some four.
teen years OF age, was run oyer by
an automobile driven by Hillary
Boden and suffered broken leg.
The negro boy was riding on the
rear end of the bus, and when
near the home of Guy Holland got
off the bus and started around, to
cross the street. About the same
time Hillary Boden came from an
opposite direction and the boy
stepped directly in front of car,
being knocked down and run over
by the car, which was brought to
a dead standstill as soon as
possible. The injured boy was
brought to the business part of
town and his wound dressed. He
is resting easy at the present
writing.
Several parties were in the bus
and they state that the accident
was unavoidable; that the boy did
not see the car nor did the car
driver see him, the bus being
between the two. No one blames
the little Boden boy and the negro
boy is not censured, as he could
not see the approaching automo-
bile. This is the first accident to
happen in Dresden, and let us
hope will be a lesson to both car
drivers and pedestrains-the for
mer to be careful when passing
vehicles, turning blind corners
and going over hills, and the latter
TO be constantly on the watchout
Tor approaching automobiles.

CELEBRATION At
PALMERSVILLE.

Under the auspices OF the Palm
ersville brass band, an interesting
Fourth of July celebration was
held at Palmersville on last Satur-
day. The big rains Of Friday night
were responsible for a part Of the
big crowd, as ground was too wet
to work and many took the day
off, who, otherwise, would have
remained at home. Constable
Walter LaFon informs us that
good order prevailed until late in
the afternoon, when two or three
Of those who had filled their hides
with liquor got boisterious and
we're promptly arrested and fined.
Their names will also be handed
to the grand jury in August.

den delivered an address which is
spoken OF in the highest terms Of
praise, his subject being. "Celebra-
ton OF the Fourth Of July" Mr.. J.

America, which, also, was high
" pleasing.

Brann has a goodly sum Of
money invested in this plant, the

ARMED WITH SHOTGUN
THREATENED MURDER.

Constable H. R. Seymour, Of
the Nineteenth district, brought
Ito jail here last Saturday after
noon a man named Tom Camp
bell, charged in state warrant
sworn out by Mr.. Fate Harrison
before Esq. R. D. Allison with
assault and battery with intent
to commit murder on the person
Of Fate Harrison, who is prose-
cutor.
Campbell, who is forty years Of
age and has a wife and four
children, resides on the Harrison
farm, and seems to be laboring
under the impression that Har-
rison interfered with his obtain
ing supplies at the store at ST.
donia, claiming that he and
Harrison had a misunderstood
ing in the spring, since which
time they have had but little to
do with each other, and that
since then Harrison has inter-
fered with him in procuring
provisions for his family at the
store. Mr.. Harrison, we under
stand on reliable authority, says
there is no spark Of truth to this.
Saturday morning Campbell
had been to the store after pro-
visions, which we're denied him,
and later on meeting Harrison
he made an attempt to kill Har-
rison, using a shotgun. He made
the threat, we understand, that
be would kill Harrison. 1t is
also reported to us that Campbell
met John Erwin and wife in a
buggy and forced Erwin to get
out Of the vehicle under threat Of
death if be did not do as COM
manded,
1t is claimed that Campbell is
mentally unbalanced, and that he
is not entirely responsible for his
actions. We talked to him in his
cell at the Jail and he appears to
be man of ordinary intelligence,
but seems to be laboring under
the delusion that Harrison had
mistreated him in the supply
matter. He told US that he could
not stand for a man to come be.
tween his family and their food,
that they were without food and
be could and would not submit
Eoit. When we suggested to him
that be had made a mistake, that
be had taken the wrong route to
procure food for his family, he
admitted that perhaps he had,
out did not seem to regret his
conduct, saying be would fight
out.

ATTENDANCE BREAKS
PREVIOUS RECORDS,

The Dresden meeting of the
Paris district conference, M. E.
church, South, will go down in
history for the large attendance
and interest manifested by all dele
gates, as we'll as the public. Min
listers who have been going to dis
trlct conference for many years in
form us that this surpasses all
others, both in attendance and
general interest. OF particular in
terest in the manner, the enthu-
slasm and the enlightened way in
which the various topics are dis
cussed. Nineteen out OF the twen-
ty charges composing the district
are represented. A humber of
prominent ministers from other
districts are among the visitors.
Presiding Elder L. D. Hamilton
is presiding. with Sam L. Barger,
secretary.
The opening sermon on Tues
day night by Rev. J. A. Hassell,
OF Murray, KY, was a mastery
effort, bringing forth many amens
from the congregation. Rev.
Cleanth Brooks delivered an able
sermon Wednesday morning to a
large congregation. In the alter
noonya number of educators deliv.
cred talks on the Importance of
christian education; and Mr.. J. B.
Marmon, lay leader of the Mem
phIs conference gave an interest
ing talk on lay activity, but we
think he meant inactivity. All the
charges are making encouraging
reports and the presiding elder
wears a smile that simply won't
come off.
Wednesday night Rev. G. A.
Waterheld held his large audience
5pell-bound. with his matchless
oratory' his subject being 20 Ny
Soul" Mr.. Waterfeld is a nat
1ral-born orator and seldom fails
% interest an audience, but it is
conceded that he outdid himself
IN this occasion.
Dresden is being lavishlv
praised by our visitors for the.
courteous, good old-fashioned
Methodist hospitality shown. All
denominations are taking care Of
the visitors, who are puzzled to
know who are Methodists and
who are not, so cordial is the
entertainment and courtesies ex.
tended. The delegates were met
at the trains in automobiles and
carried to their homes, and dur
ing the week most of them have
been shown the town and sur
rounding country and taken
about in autos. A most favora.
Ole impression has been made on
'hese gentlemen and many are
lie expressions of appreciation.
The session will close this
Thursday afternoon, most of
he delegates leaving on the 4:16
rain for their respective homes.
Dresden is glad of the oppor.
unity of entertaining this splen-
i'd body Of men-the pick Of the
lethodist church in the Paris
istrict, and our people bid them
'eleome to come this way again

COUNTY AIDS THE
COUNTY HIGHWAY,

quarterly session on last, Monday
set its stamp Of approval upon thu
good roads movement in this
county by appropriating the sun
Of $4,000, which will be used or
the fortY-foot highway running
east and west through the county,
in the construction of concrete
culverts and bridges, or SO much
oft as may be required. There
was, Of course, some objection tc
the appropriation. This was ex-
pected.
The appropriation carried, how
ever, by a small majority,
twenty-four against it and twen-
ty.seven for it. Esq. ]. A.
Eskridge, who led the fight in
opposition to the appropriation,
gave notice in open court that he
would take an appeal to circuit
court.
Another important matter acted
upon by the July term of court
was that of authorizing the county
Judge to borrow a sufficient fund
to liQuidate the outstanding
warrants againstthe county. The
resolution pEoEidafst that this ap-
plies only'to warrants not held by
tbebanks which have been dis
counted. The money will be
arranged for at( once by Judge
Mayo and those holding warrants
will be paid their face value. The
outstanding indebtedness against
the county at this time is
$23,912,23, as shown by Judge
Mayo's report last Monday.
Geo. S. Boyd, A. F. Higgs and
w. S. Miles, together with the
three poorhouse commissioners E.
IL. Freeman, N. M. Tucker and
III. ]. Butts, were appointed a
committee to erect a suitable house
at the county farm for the habita-
ton of the keeper and all the
white inmates. The old houses
will be rebuilt for the colored in
mates. The new house is to- be
a two.story house and in all proba-
-bility of brick. 1t will be modern
in every particular, furnace heated
and well ventilated.
A report Of a committee invest
eating alleged misuses of public
moneys in construction of bridges
in the south part Of the county,
was fled by Chairman Tom
Horton, but, on account OF the
length OF the report and the
manner in which same was pre-
scented to the court, this committee
was continued to the October term.
ESQ. J. R.. Dudley also filed a
report from reputable citizens Of
that section generating himself.
There has been much said con-
corning these expenditures and
the full facts should be shown to
the court. II a report is filed
giving the length Of a bridge, to-
gether with its cost, the width Of
that bridge, also, should be shown.
Let the full light be turned on.
The court authorized the APP
of a committee to make
with the city Of
Dresden for water for the court
house and Jail.

The answer to the fact that the state
fair lost in attendance when Des

county fair broke all records when
Marshalltown went dry.
