Mighty difficult matter squeez-
ing news out of people when their
whole thoughts are conferred on
Christmasl
Esq. Jack Davis informs US
that he has another fine grand
son, an. eleven-pound boy, born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Freeman,
near Hyndsver, on Friday night.
Mr.. R. L. Martin, the furniture
dealer at Sharon, has pulled up
stakes and moved to Long, Ark,
where all his friends hope he will
only remain a short time. Bob
is a good citizen and Weakley
county regrets to give him up.
He was formerly a member OF the
county court Of this county.
Elder Etheridge has his hand
some new residence in West Dres-
den about complete and is moving
into same this week. This is one
of the incest cottages builtin Dres-
den in some time and adds wond-
erfullv to that fast growing section
OF the town.
Mr.. Douglas Garrett, one Of the
most popular young men of Dres-
den, has accepted position at
Alexander's pharmacy, east side,
and will be glad to see his friends.
There are many good things that
may be said OF this self.made young
man, chief among which is that he
is honorable, upright, attentive to
business and one Of the most at
fable, polite statesmen in the town.
Joe Nunley. residing four miles
east of Dresden, was arrested on
Saturday night by Deputy Bullock
and locked up on a charge Of pur-
Joining an overcoat from Sandef-
er's grocery store. He made
bond on Sunday and was liberat-
ed. Nunley was in town drinking
and, by the way, it is reported
there was much drinking in town
Saturday-and took the coat from
Sandeier's store, it is charged.
The coat was found in his buggy
by the officer at Nunley's home that
night. 1t is not thought he really
intended to steal the coat, but took
it while under the influence of
liquor, which he doubtless procur-
ed here in town from some OF the
numerous bootleggers who are do
ing an extensive business at this
time.
All the Baptists and many
personal friends OF DR.. |. N. Penick
at Martin joined in a general
pounding for the popular minister
at his residence on last Thursday
night. Most everything good for
the inner man and many articles
, of wearing apparel, coupled with
, hearty good wishes and sincere
prayers for a successful year, were
showered upon Brother Penick
A strong effort was made to pull
Mr.. Penick away from Martin
a church in Mississippi desiring
J his services, and he seriously con
sidered making a change, bu
decided there was a work tol
him to do in Martin. Mr.. Penicl
has been pastor of the Martin
Baptist church for more than TWEEN
W years and is as popular today
as when he first went there-yea
! even more 30.
II asked eight dollars and a hal
for one fine black Polled Angul
) calf, which price was too high;
0 hoofed it west, / hoofed it east
] endeavoring to sell the beast, bu

Q with the same old song. Thel
. said a friend, oh. rest your feet
: and quit your wearing out tn
2 street, and bowling by the year
j; spend fifty cents and Advertise
! your sawed off COW Of pocket size
t and buyers will al pear followed

$ faded feet on ice; and when the az
] appeared, ten customers came &
!; my gate; one bought the calf ant
d paid the freight, the others bucket

q little ads, the wise man gathers il
