Vaughan Writes
From Colorado.

Grand Jet, Colo, Nov. 20, 1916.
Dear Joe:-After waiting so long,
will write you a few lines and
send you a check for the Enter
prise. NV time has been up for
some time, but | have been busy
and neglected sending you the
money.
Well, the election is over and |
know you are glad that old Ten
nessee went democratic again. |
am glad to know Tom Rye and
Finis Garrett were elected again.
We had a hot time in this part Of
the world, but Colorado went
democratic. We elected Me-. Cunt
er for governor, when it looked
like we couldn't beat Gov. Conl-
son.
Well, Joe, we are all getting
along fine. as far as health goes.
| never felt better in nv life be-
fore; have worked all the year. /
am with the Ross Hardware &
Supply Co., now and suppose |
will be there this winter. The
valley is in good condition; had a
fine fruit crop and brought fair
prices. Sugar beets are bringing
$500 per ton. For the month of
October the sugar factory has paid
out $125,000 to the rancher for
beets, and quite a few to dig yet.
Joe, if the express was not so
much | would send you a box Of
fine apples, but the express on a
box that far would be so high.
The Collier boys, John and
Wade) are getting along fine,
W orking all the time. No idle
men here this fall. Well, | will
close for this time. Tell every
one hello for me. With best re-
CARDS. Ernest S. Vaughan.

Bigger Agricultural
Exhibit NextssYear.

In conversation few days ago
with Mr.. Geo. S. Boyd we learned
that next year Weakley county
will send a bigger and better agri-
cultural exhibit to both the State
and Tri.State fairs at Nashville
and Memphis, respectively.
Mr.. Boyd states that not only
will a more varied exhibit be ar
ranged, but that double the amount
sent this year will be sent to each
place, and the exhibit will be dia-
grained and planned in detail be-
fore leaving here. This exhibit
will include every article of farm
product grown in this county for
profit, and it is planned to begin
the collection of articles for the
exhibit early next spring, when
farmers will be called and urged
to save the very best specimens of
their farm and garden products,
which will be delivered to Mr..
Boyd or some other member of the
committee in Dresden, Martin,
Gleason or Greenfield and care
fully preserved until the time for
sending to the fairs.
All care will be exercised and
Weakley county promises to have
the most attractive and the largest
exhibit at both these fairs next
year. The cooperation Of every
citizen interested in this matter is
desired.

the oft sung college and campus songs.
Many darby songs and southern jubi-
lees follow.
Their thoughts return to their pres
ent purpose in Panama, as set forth in
the stirring song, "In Panama." espe-
cially written and composed for this
timely program. The Indian days In
Panama are portrayed in the original
song, 1.-THE Lament of the Aztec" The
attempt of the French to build canal
through Panama is characterized in
1.-THE Failure of the French"
The program is Pan-American, as 1t
includes the Spanish Mexican, the In
dian, the Negro and the American
songs. Many of the popular songs Of
the day suitable for such program
are sung.
The program concludes with med.
ley Of song hits Of the evening.

The Ford Ga
rage at Martin.

In todav's Enterprise will be
found a large advertisement Of the
Ford garage at Martin, Bob Moss
and Bonnie Lavender, proprietors.
This is one of the best equipped
garages in the state-laIge and
roomy and affording every con-
venience for both repair work and
the storage of tourists cars,
Another thing about this garage
is that it maintains corps Of ex-
pert repairmen, headed by CLYDE
Warmath, not only skillful, but
careful and an electrician; Bonnie
Lavender, who is likewise good,
careful, painstaklng workman and
conscientious to the very core, and
Allen Carman, who is capable of
taking a few cans, some iron pip
ing, a few stove bolts, and so on,
and making a certain kind Of car.
There are the other boys there,
whose names we do not now recall,
but all of whom are careful work
men. We have always thought
that Warmath and Lavender and
Carman stood at the head Of auto
repairmen in this neck O. the
woods.
This is not all about this garage,
either, though it is most import
ant, for they carry complete
line Of accessories, as will be seen
from their advertisement on anoth-
er page. Read it and you will most
likely find something that you need
right now.
