An Act without Progress.

Two Of the most vtrulent of the Ger
man spies disappeared after the frst
act. but there was an Interesting East
ern substitute for the hotel keeper and
The barber in the second. Then tho
supposed spy. In reality a member OF
the English Engineer Corps, was the
centre az Interest and suspicion. But
the second act so far as the story was
concerned was negligible 1t did not
advance the narrative. When the cur
tain fell on an exposition OF the Indian
servants loyalty TO Germany the situa-
lion was in effect what it had been at
The close of the first act. But there
had beer some very amusing American
Characterization OF the different guests
at the dinner OF the Generals wife.
The character OF the English visitor was
still undisclosed. Whether he was a
spy or a loyal Brlton had not been
made clear. 1t was this uncertainty
that robbed the dramatic episodes OF
their effectiveness. Stretches OF the
second act were frankly tedious.
The English fleet was i'm the harbor
waiting to he blown up by the spies
wen the third act began. The Ameri-
can girl, stll determined 10 get home
ahead OF all her rivals and prove that
she was the most alert buyer of any
retail firm in New York, refused &c

commander whose American wife had
taken her into their home. She would
not admit that she had met the mys'
terious Englishman before. TIE second

Sudden Death of Noble Woman,

The sudden death of Mrs. jim
Lowery,. residing near Fate Win.
stead's, six miles north of Dres-

to her family and friends. Mrs.

morning, and in the afternoon
went to sleep, but expired before
awakening. The nature of her
illness is not known, except that
she complained of cramping be-

Lowery was about fifty years of
age, and a noble, good christian

For the past several years the
country press of Tennessee has
dabbled extensively in politics,
especially espousing the cause Of
this and that aspirant for office;
but we note with much satisfac-
ton that many of the weekly
papers of the state are adopting
the plan promulgated some
months ago by the Enterprise and
will let the candidates fight their
own battles. We know of a
dozen or more editors in this
state who have been applicants
for positions during the past ten
years, but do not know OF one
who was thought enough of to
receive an appointment. This is
one reason why the boys of the
rural press will sell their space
instead of giving it away in the
future. Space is all the stock in
trade a newspaper man has to
dispose of, and it is perfectly
legitimate to sell it, as the Enter
prise did last week when Senator
LEAFS advance agent came down
wanting an announcement Of the
senator's appointment in Dress
den last Saturday, and as we did
when the senator's local sup
porters asked that the reception
committee be published in the
Enterprise, both paying our regu-
lar rates for space. All the others
will do the same, too. OF course,
no one with a grain Of intelligence
will suppose that it is meant the
editorial space will be sold to any
one at any price.

SENATOR LEAFS SPEECH.

The opening address of United
States Senator Luke Lea in Dres-
on last Saturday was a magnii-
cent effort, free from personalities,
devoid of bitterness and clear OF
mud-slinging at his opponents.
The senator has evidently pitched
his campaign upon a high plane,
and it is hoped that he will keep it
there. 1t is further hoped that his
three opponents will follow in his
wake Sn this respect and give to
Tennessee a clean, gentlemanly
campaign. We believe they will.
We don't think that the senator
said one thing which any reason
able person could point to as bitter
or unkind OF his opponents. He
gave a splendid account of his
stewardship as United States SEN
ator from Tennessee; he showed
how he had labored Tor theprohib-
ition cause, and he struck a respOn-
sive cord in the hearts Of his hear
ecs when he announced in favor OF
a direct compulsory primary law
for all parties at one and the same
time. He was also heartily applaud
ed when he said he favored govern
ment aid in uoad construction.
The distinguished gentleman
ably aquitted himself in his Dres-
den effort and left no bad tastes in
the mOaths Of any one by rea-
son of what he said.

HOMECOMING WEEK.

Fair week is to be homecoming
week in Weakley county, and every
former citizen is urged to spend
this week here with old friends,
spending the four days at the fair,
( where an opportunity will be af-
forded Of meeting old friends and
relatives. The Enterprise suggests
that this be made a leading feature
Of the fair; that every citizen in the
county who has a relative or a
friend residing in another town,
county or state aud who formerly
resided here be invited by person.

Quick Work.

The Enterprise breaks the re.
cord for quick printing. We were
given copy for the Weakley county
fair catalogue on Saturday, Aug.
%, and on Thursday, Sept 8, we
had several hundred copies OF the
catalogue finished and ready for
distribution. This was Just ten
days, not counting the two Sun
days, and during this same period
we got out large sale bills for Guy
Hodges at Gleason and did other
job printing amounting to nearly
$3.50, besides getting out a couple
of issues of the paper. This work
was all done by cur regular force
without the help Of any one in the
department, except
the boss" who played the devil
for several days and nights. This
was going some, don't you think?
Only one error was made in the
which we attribute to
the rush, it being the wish of the
fair management to get some OF
the books ready for distribution at
The Fulton fair last week. This
error is found on page %, three
lines underneath the head, Sec.
ond Day" being out Of place. They
belong at the bottom Of page 81.

Are you angry Is your lip
cfackedY Are you afraid Of wrink-
LEST Are you suffering from in
growing crouch? None Of them.
Then why don't you smile? His
tory tells us of men who trained
themselves not to smile, because
they wanted a stern expression Of
countenance. The savages also
prided themselves on not showing
any sort Of emotion. Have you
noticed in the photographs, that
the mothers OF the var heroes Of
Europe are not smiling? Neither
are the generals who are doing the
killing. Only the heroes them
selves are smiling. A hard and
stern expression does not indicate
a good heart nor a clear con.
science. A thief seldom smiles.
The woman of the streets smiles
with her lips, but her eyes are
hard and cold. The poverty strick-
en- man on the street who begs for
a dime, sends his plea direct to
your heart if his appeal is accom-,
panied by a smile. Only the fail
ures Of life never smile. A smile is
the cry of the sentry OF the soul.

is IT BEING DONE2

In section 10 of the 1915 road
law passed for Weakley county we
find these words:
"And the dragging ofsaid roads
and repair work SHALL be
done promptly at All times OF
the year. Any overseer may,
AND 1T rs HEREBY MADE
HIS DUTY to contract with
any road hand or hands sub
ect to road duty on his section
or sections TO DRAG said
roads or any part thereof"
We don't know how many of the
overseers have complied with this
very important provision OF the
road law, but if they have not, then
we urge upon them the great i'm
portance OF doing so at once. From
now on until late spring is the best
time to drag the roads, and we sim
cerelY hope the dragging spirit will
continue until every road in the
county is dragged following each
and every rain all the year round.

AN ERROR IN THE SPRINGS
EDITION.

To produce a large illustrated
newspaper of the character of the
special springs edition, in limited
time, is an intricate business, multi
tudinous in detail, that must be han
died quickly. In doing that, errors
will creep in. So error occurred in
the article written by Mr.. Badger on
the history of the park board. Mr..
Badger wrote the article correctly,
but the printer entirely left out the
name of F. E. Watson as secretary
of the park board and made George
Taverner appears as secretary instead
of vice-president. 1t was an error
which, while unfortunate, is not un-
common in the mechanical makeup
of newspaper.
F. e. Watson is now secretary of
the park board and upon him has
fallen the weight of detail in hand
ling park matters during the past two
years. Teh report of the park board
printed in the last Tidings shows how
efficiently and acceptable has been its
work.

CHURCHES AND BREwER1Es.

If the. late Adolphus Busch had
lived half century later, Pasadena,
Cal, would have had to look else
where for her famous "sunken gar
dens" or Adolphus would have been
compelled to evolve some other way
to make his millions, for, according
to the best information obtainable,
the brewery business is today about
the worst ever, next to cotton grow
ing. The American Contractor, a
journal devoted to the building trade,
in a recent issue announces that
whereas, in 1906, the breweries of
the country spent in buildings and
extensions $14,57S, 1000, in 1913 they
spent less than 100000. But the
amazing part of the story is that
whereas, in 1906, the churches of
the country spent $5,632,00O in
building operations, in 1913 they had
changed places with the breweries
and had spent S14,S70,506! Think
of the churches of this country spend
ing five times as much for buildings
as the great breweries! And for the
first four months of 1914 the record
was even more amazing, for in this
period the breweries spent only
$429,000, while the churches spent
$4,3S9,9S6, or over ten times as
much. The thing seems incredible
until one stops to think of the time
when he saw the last brewery built
and the last church. Then it doesn't
seem so queer.

Property of Americans is being

There is no established govern
ment, and might is right.
Military bandits are in control, and
honor has been kicked into the dis
card.
Insults are being heaped upon our
troops at the border and Mexican
bullets are singing over American ter
ritory.

fort to reach some peaceful solution,
but apparently without avail

LIGHT IN THE HORIZON.

The United States is slowly but
surely emerging from period of
keen financial stringency and COM
mercial unrest
1t has been felt by all classes of
people, in every strata OF society.
But light at last is showing in the
distance, and relief is in sight.
But it will require yet a little more
patience on the part of the people
and united effort and determination
to wrest prosperity from chaos.
Those who expect to see an instant
transformation from stringency to
boundless wealth will of course meet
with disappointment.
But commercial and financial ex-
perts are all agreed that the next
six months will see the United States
in the midst of an era of unprece-
dented prosperity.
In the meantime let us be patient
and work.
