Road Bond Issue is
Defeated in Obion

The proposition to issue several
hundred thousand dollars of bonds
for building hard roads in Obion
county was voted down by an
overwhelming majority = about
three to one against, the Obion
county papers state.
The taxpayers of this section
are not ready for macadamized
roads. In the first place, the
cost per mile is too great, since all
the rock going onto the road has
to be transported from a great
distance. In the next place, there
is a feeling among the taxpayers
that the money voted for such
purpose does not all 90 on the
roads, There is, generally, too
much graft in such enterprises,
and the citizens paying for the
same feel that they do not get their
moneys worth. This may or it
may not be true, but until our
people are shown that money
appropriated for public improve
ments goes for that purpose they
are going to be slow in voting a big
bond issue. They ought to be.
We believe that with the right
kind Of legislation compelling the
use of the split-log drag there is
not now a demand for hard roads
in this section, Especially when
the great cost OF construction,
made so by the distance we are
from the material, is taken into
consideration.
Our advice is, has been and
will be, boys, to use the split.log

Officers Arrest
Several Negroes

Officers Eskridge and Bullock
made a raid last Saturday night
at the home of old Uncle RuAin
Rogers, arresting his grand
daughter, Nancy, and another ne
gro women and two negro men
for disorderly and immoral con-
duct They were carried before
Recorder Lewis, who fined 'em
500 each and the costs. The girls
and one man we're sent to the
town lookup, the other man, a
Paris niger working here at
the tobacco barn, paid his fine
and shook the dust Of Dresden
from his feet.
In behalf of th8 citizens of the
town, the Enterprise desires to
commend these diligent officers
for their determination and efforts
to put a stop to a lot Of mean
conduct which has been going on
in this town for 50 long a time.
The citizens OF Dresden are
getting tired Of some things being
carried on here, ahd there has
been some talk Of forming a
vigilance" committee for the
purpose of waiting on these law
vlolators. This also applies to
the gentleman VII 10 has been
coming here filling This town with

Eskridge and Bullock have th cir

Now, let the laE-abiding citi-
zens Of this town give these good
officers their hearty cooperation.

'eeding Crimson
Clover to Stock.

/ Owing to the exaggerated ideas
d many regarding the danger OF
feding crimson clover hay to
brses and mules, much of the
cimson clover cut for hay is cut
| Ito early. We think the danger
fbm feeding crimson clover hay
lbs been much exaggerated. 1t
ID true that "hair-balls" some
tines form from feeding crimson
cbver hay and cause death. 1t is
tue that these "hair-balls" also
form when no crimson clover
hay is fed and in sections where
none OF it is grown. 1t is posi-
BILE, although we think it some
what doubtful, that crimson
clover hay causes more of this
trouble than other plants. 1t is
also thought that this trouble is
less likely to result from crimson
clover hay cut before the plants
have become ripe and woody.
For this reason, some cut it as
soon as in bloom. We think this
earlier than necessary and too
early to get most from the crop.
If cut as soon as the first bios
SONS begin to turn brown, or to
ripen, we think this early enough
to meet all desirable ends, and it
is reasonably certain that more
feed value will be obtained from
the crop. Progressive Farmer, |

Rural Homes Are
Destroyed by Fire

Last week, the latter part, es
pecially, was most unfortunate
one for some of our rural citizens
who lost their homes by fire.
The home Of that good citizen
and industrious farmer, Mr.. John
Hornsby, residing just south OF
Pisgah church, was burned to
the ground, together with most
of the contents and the smoke
house, Saturday afternoon at
about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Hornsby
and her son, Chas, were en- route
to Dresden, and did not know Of
the loss OF their home until
reaching town, and Mr.. Hornsby
was at the home of his son when
the fire started. It is presumed
the fire originated from the cook
room aue. With help Mr.. Horns
by managed to save several
dresser drawers, two feather beds
and center table and all the con-
tents in the smokehouse. He
had the sum of $105 under a
pillow in the house and this
was lost, while Mr., Geo, Nc
Daniel, living there with Mr..
Hornsby, lost 500, which he had
in a trunk. Mr.. Hornsby carried
SITS insurance, and his loss
above insurance is about 81, 900.
A tenant house on the Jack
Winstead farm, one mile north of
Dresden, and occupied by a man
named Harrison, burned Thurs
day afternoon about 3 o'clock.
The stable, corn crib, moving
machine, gear, corn and hay also
burned. This fire originated from
fire spreading from a nearby
burning brush heap.

Berry Shipment
Middle Adjusted.

The outlook for berry shipment
looked very gloomy for our
growers on Thursday Of last week,
when some office boy or hunkey
sent a telegram here knocking
into smithereens all the promises
and plans laid by Mr., Whitti-
moore, who has labored so faith
fully and zealously for the well
fare of our berry growers, the
telegram stating that cars here
aud at Gleason would have to be
got ready for the regular schedule
trains, and so on. This put the
shippers up in the air.
However, on Friday freight
officials Of the N, G. & St. l.,
railroad company came to Dres-
den and were met by a delegation
of our berry growers, professional
and business men, and our PEG.
pie were again assured that our
berry shipments would be taken
care Of, getting them to Martin in
time for the fast berry trains
north, and yet giving ample time
for loading here and at Gleason.
There was considerable feeling
OF resentment manifest last Fri
day morning when the contents
of the telegram became known,
and it would have been an easy
matter to have raised sufficient
money with which to purchase
one or two large auto trucks for
the purpose of hauling these
berries to Sharon. 1t would not
be a bad idea to do this, anyhow,
for these plans, like the others,
might miscarry.
