these ran out and others had to
be supplied for the great crowd.
Tickets we're given only to out-of-
town people, so that it may be
seen more than a thousand peo-

Will WeakleyCOunty
Have an Exhibit?

The question is daily asked,
Twill Weakley county have an
exhibit at the Tri-State fair?"
Some weeks ago plans were laid
for an exhibit representing the
agricultural and other resources Of
this county at the Memphis fair,
but up to this time little has been
done toward collecting the pro-
ducts, etc., to fill a Weakley county
booth at Memphis.
Mr.. Ellis, the demonstration, has
worked faithfully to arouse some
interest, but has met with title
cooperation. He needs some
help. Who will render it? There
are many things to be done. First
and foremost, small sum Of
money must be raised to defray
transportation charges on the ex-
hibit to and from Memphis. A
little printing will be necessary,
as there oughtto be some literature
for distribution showing the re-
sources Of this county. Each
town in the county ought to have
phamphlets telling Of its particular
advantages and what it has in the
way ofinducements. Then, some
-shing ought. to be said in general
relative to the county,,s products.
the number Of cars Of berries,
tobacco, hogs, cattle, etc., shipped
out annually.
All this requires some time
more than one man who is already
busy from 5 a. N. to 8 p. m. can
give it. Won't some one volunteer
to assist Mr.. Ellis?

Child Struck With
Axe By its Father.

The three-year-old child Of Mr..
Richard Bradberry, several miles
east Of Dresden, was knocked
senseless by an axe in the hands
of his father the latter part OF the
week.
Mr.. )Bradberry was cutting
wood and did. not know the child
was near. He did not even know
he had struck the child, but after
ward thought he remembered the
axe coming in contact with some
object as he drew back to strike
a lick, until he looked around
back OF him and saw the child
lying prone upon the ground and
bleeding profusely from a wound
in the forehead between the eyes.
Mr.. Bradberry, almost frantic,
picked the little fellow up and
rushed into the house with him,
calling for a physician. The
wound bled freely and the child
was quite week from loss Of blood.
Two stitches were required to
close the wound.
Mr.. Bradberry is sorely grieved
at the accident, which almost cost
the life Of his child.

SCHOOL FINANCES
OF THE COUNTY.
County Superintendent Fuqua Gives Out an In
tGTNew Showing the Financial Condition
Of the School Account.

We are giving to the people Of
the county the financial condition
OF our schools. Total income from
all sources for the school year
19l5-15, $80,501.54. Expenditure,
1913, 333.42, which shows that we
spent $12,831.7S more than our
income. Total income from all
sources for the year 1856, $74-
494.63. Expenditure, $73,74472,
which shows balance of $749.71
to pay on the $25,00O.OO indebted
ness. If our income had been as
much this year we would have
paidN$6, 1862 on our indebted
ness, but you will observe that our
income was $6,007.01 less this
year than last. And the indica-
ton is that the income will be still
less next year, since the tax-as-
sessor''and equallzing board lower
ed the valuation of taxable proper
ty $200,000.0O.
We are giving the school people
this information in order that you
may know why we were forced to
make our school term five months
last year, We are trying to give
you a six months term this year,
but in order to do this we are ask
ing the people to help US. You can
do this by looking after the school
in your community. See that the
thousand and one" small things
which may be had and done in
that school are done without cost
to the county. We have hundreds
Of accounts come to US for 25, so
and rs cents for such things as re-
pairing door-steps, drawing water
out of cisterns and hundreds of
other small things which could be
done by the teacher, pupils and
parents.
Every community should be
organized and its school should be
the social center. Through this
organization these things can be
secured.-F. Y. Fuqua, Snpt,

Injured in Runaway.


Mr.. Jim Dent, the popular pi-
ano man Of Martin, was painfully
injured in a runaway accident at
Martin on Tuesday night, being
carried to the home of his father
in'laW, Mr.. Geo. Norman, in an
unconscious condition. While he
was considerably bruised up, no
bones were broken. The steed
went tearing down the street like
mad and collided with a telephone
pole, throwing the occupants from
the vehicle.

Much Ado About
Nothing at Greenfield

Much ado about nothing pretty
we'll expresses the stir created
relative to the illegal sale OF
liquor at Greenfield.
Some one, through sincere, but
misinformed, motives, wrote Gov.
Rye that liquor was being sold
at Greenfield; the governor. sent
this letter, which, we understand,
was unsigned, to the attorney-gen-
eral, and Gen. Morris had dozens
and dozens OF summons issued,
calling a large portion Of Green
fields population to appear before
the grand jury last week in an
effort to find out if liquor was
really and TRULY being sold at
Greenfield. The town and sur
rounding community was scraped
with a fne-tooth comb; Gen.
Morris exerted every effort to find
out the truth; he brough into
play his best energies; he brought
before the grand jury some of
Greenfeld's best citizens and
some others-he went to the very
bottom of the matter, and if there
is liquor being sold at Greenfield
all the machinery Of the court was
unable to locate the seller, as no
Indictment was found against any
person there for the illegal sale OF
liquor. II it is being sold there
the parties summoned here don't
know it, and if there is any citi-
zens there who does know that
liquor is being sold in Greenfield,
any more than any other town in
the county, he or she owes it to
the community, to Gen. Morris
and to Judge Jones-to come for.
ward and belch what he knows
about it, for these officers of the
law have done their level best to
find out the truth.
We presume that Greenfield is
like Dresden and Martin and the
other towns of the county. There
doubtless is some bootleg liquor
sold there, just as in most all
towns, but after this sweeping
investigation upon the part Of
Gen. Morris and the grand jury
the public naturally believes it
isn't so bad as some might think.
Greenfield is a good town, full of
good people and ought not to be
made to suffer from these reports
from her own people, il
not true.

Numbers Going to
See Dredge Boat.

Large numbers of Dresden
people have been going to Spring
creek levee, eight miles south of
Dresden, this week to see the big
dredge boat in operation. The
dredging is something new to
most of our people, who never
before saw the work going on, and
has proven quite interesting.
The boat cut through the levee
Yesterday and by this friday
morning will doubtless be several
yards west of the levee, but with
in reasonable distance for those
who wish to witness the boat in
operation, Timber has been on
the ground for some time and a
bridge will be constructed across
the drainage ditch at once, so that
travel over the Dresden. Greenfield
road will not be stopped or forced
around by Liberty, which is two
or three miles further to Green
field from Dresden.
Splendid progress is being made
with the ditch cutting, and the
Itch will likely be completed by
ate fall-by Christmas, anyhow.

More About Sow
ing Crimson Clover,

The time IS again at hand when
we should arrange for our crimson
clover seed. 1t has been stated
that a crop is worth more than
the price of seed and time spent for
seeding just to look at, to say.
nothing about its value as a graz
ing crop, and soil builder. Some
good authorities claim that one can
realize SIS to $40 per acre from
pasture and after three weeks
growth in the spring turn under
So to $40 worth of plant food. AL
so, seed crop comes off by June
10 and it is possible to thresh four
to six bushels seed per acre. With
all these possibilities Of realizing a
profit no farmer can afford to be
without a patch this fall.
While this crop is recommended
for seeding in corn and cotton, our
surest success can be had after to-
bacco. The time for seeding is
August Is to September Is. One
very fine field made good last year
seeded as late as October Is. How
ever, this is late to take chance on,
unless on our best level lands and
new grounds where an ideal seed
bed is available.
An ideal seed bed is one well
frmed down by the rains or roller
and free from vegetation. Tobacco
fields worked late and level gives
us an ideal place. Do not disc, but
the next day after the tobacco is
off weight your drag harrow and
harrow till one inch OF loose dirt
is worked up, seed fifteen pounds
of seed per acre and harrow in.
Cotton fields where cotton is not
too rank make second best place.
Corn fields kept clean cultivated

and a good seed bed, for crimson.
Seeding can be done in cotton,
corn and a specially prepared seed
bed after first good rain after
August. Is to September Is. Har.
row the land, seed and harrow in.
Crimson clover seems to be the
only possible crop for every farmer
to seed on every acre OF cultivated
land for winter cover crop. The
question Of getting seed rye, oats
or wheat for this purpose has been
too expensive. Every farmer can
get in the habit of saving one or
two acres Of crimson for seed and
grow a crop on his land the same
year. Seed can be saved indie
pendent Of a thresher.
Begin now and plan to save your
seed for a large acreage next year.
Do not let the high price of seed
prevent you from seeding at least
one acre. At any rate seed your
garden in crimson. Prepare as

possible till October /. 10 have

Prof. F. Handley Wells is surely deserving of great deal of credit for the splendid training given the Orpheus Glee Club, the members of whom gave their first concert before a large and thoroughly ap- preclative audience at the Elks' Hall last evening. The men were in good voice and sang well together the most pleasing numbers being the "Crusaders," the opening num- Der and Comrades in Arms" al- though "The Story of Tack" was of the light sort of humor that somehow always appeals to audien- ces of all kinds and descriptions, and certainly "got over"

 Now, let's go back to the new school building for a minute.

 But, you say, look at the revenue we get from the liquor traffic. We'll, look at it if you want to. There's blood on every dollar of 1t.

Juneau is to have a new public school building-a building to which we can all point with pride, as the politicians say; a building that will furnish better and in- creased facilities for the education of the boys and girls, the young men and young women of our city. And in this new building, as in the present one, pupils will be taught from a scientific standpoint, the harmful effects of the use of alco- holio liquors. And rightly so, for we see on our streets every day dis gusting and horrible examples of the use of alcoholic liquors.
 It is not an uncommon thing to see human sign board" of the sa- looms reeIing along the streets, or sprawling helplessly in the gutter, or being half carried to the city jail by police officer. And every little while one of these miserable wreoks of what might have been man but for the curse of rum, "csshes in his checks" and is bur- jed at the expense os the city. And every time this happens it is just one more case of man MURDERED BY THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
 Let that fact "soak in" and then ask yourself this question: Who is to take the place of that poor wretohl For as sure as you live somebody must step into the place in Che ranks of the saloon patrons if the liquor traffic is to continue. It can no more continue without patrons than a grocery store can ex- ist without customers. When you have admitted the truth of that statement, ask yourself one more question; Where do the recruits
