institute, while in Dresden last
Monday, showed US the most
perfect ear of corn we ever saw.
This came from Sharp's crib and is
OF the Little Willis variety. 1t

nearly the same size at each end,
both the butt and tip we'll filled
out, the rows even and symmetrical
and contained 952 grains of corn.
Mr.. Sharp has been paying par
ticular attention to seed selection,
what every good farmer ought to
do, for several years and feels that
he is now reapinig the reward for
his efforts.

Alias Jimmy Valentine.

The quality of its story is the
big thing in any picture, and the
quality of Alias Jimmy Valentine"
is known. The picture is one Of
the kind of which there is nc
question or doubt. That it is q
very good Offering everyone, we
think, will be quite agreed. The
spectator who wants high brow"
stuff and the one who wants "Iow
brow" stuff can generally get
together on simple, human stuff
which this picture, in both plot
and detail, furnishes richly.
Although mainly a drama, the
picture contains many comedy
scenes, most of which are furnished
by John Hines as Red" The
big situations Of the story, of which
there are many, are very carefully
handled, and the plot is con-
structed with the purpose of
the spectator and holding
the interest, which it surely does.

REV. WAGGENER
PASSES AWAY.
Aged Minister SICCumbs After Long Illness
Sunday Night One Of the COunb's
Old Landmarks Gone.

Rev. Alton Waggener, sixty
three years Of age, died at his
home, south Of Martin, on Sunday
night at 1890, following a long
illnsss.
Brother Waggener was one OF
the most widely known and most
dearly beloved ministers of the
gospel in the county. He had,
perhaps, conducted more funeral
seryices:and marriage ceremonies
thanaany other man in the county.
The weather never got too cold,
nor the night too dark, the rain
never fell to hard to keep him from
going into the saddened homes
when called upon. He was
ordained to preach thirty-fve years
ago, delivering his initial sermon
at Oak Grove Baptist church, and
was pastor Of that church at the
time of his death. Brother
Waggeher was a thoroughly con-
secrated man and a student of
holy writ.
He was the son of the late Oliver
Waggener, and is survived by his
wife and five children-three sons
and two daughters-as follows:
Herman, Clifford and Windell
Waggener and Misses Nettie and
Vera Waggener, to whom a legion
Of friends extend coincidence.
As a tribute to his memory the
entire student body of HalI-Moody
institute attended his funeral
at the First Baptist church in
Martin, services being conducted
by Revs l. an. Penick and W.
B. Clifton in the presence of
one of the largest audiences that
ever assembled there. The floral
offerings were both profuse and
beautiful.

Odd Fellows
Meet April 70.

While a program for the exer-
cises of the Odd Fellows associa-
ton, which convenes in Dresden
on April 26, has not been made
out in full, owing to the difficulty
the committee is experiencing in
securing speakers, all Odd Eel
lows are assured that an enter
tanning, helpful program will be
rendered on that day, and some
frst-class degree work done in the
courthouse at night.
Prof. Eph P. Smith, the silver
tongued school teacher-preacher
will entertain his brothers with
one of his good talks, and Hon,
Alfred Thomson, the boy orator
of West Tennessee, also promises
to tell you some things, which, we
are sure will be worth your while.
Owing to uncertain matters, it is
not known whether any of the
grand officers will be here, but if
they do not the committee in
charge assures all Odd Fellows of
a day Of pleasure and edifcation.
Mrs. Hynds, of the Hyndsver Re-
bekah lodge, has been invited to
talk to thessRebekahs and Odd Eel
lows. Mrs. Hynds is not only
we'll posted,SSbut she is a bright
speaker, asEall who heard her at
Martin will attest, and she, too,
will entertain both the Odd Eel
ows and the Rebekahs.
Now, last, but by no means
last-let all who can conveniently
do so bring'a well-flled basket for
this occasion. This particularly
applies to the members near Dres-
den, but those residing at a dis
lance need not stand back on
a basket, too.

$4,000 VERDICT
FOR MINISTER.
Jury GIVES REV. WILL ETHERIDGE, CHRISTIAN
MINISTER, DAMAGES AGAINST THE !.
c. R. R. CO. APPEALED.

The damage suit Of Rev. W.
ri. Etheridge, administrator Of
Mark Etheridge, resulted in a
verdict against the railroad COM
pany and in favor of the minister
for 81 800.
The case went to the jury late
Wednesday afternoon Of last week
and on Thursday afternoon the
jury returned a verdict in favor
of Mr.. Etheridge. Motion was
made by Hon. Harry E. Jones,
counsel for the railroad company,
for d new trial.
This suit was brought by Hon.
Ed Thomas, OF Fulton, for Mr..
Etheridge, Mr.. Thomas having
associated with him Judge R. E.
Maiden. 1t was a suit for DAM
ages in the sum Of $4,000, in
stead of $25, 900, as stated in last
weeks Enterprise, the suit being
filed against the railroad company
and the engineer and fireman
operating the train which ran over
and killed Mark Etheridge at
Sharon in April of last year. The
trainmen were made parties to
the suit to prevent its removal to
the federal court, both engineer
and fireman being citizens OF
Tennessee, otherwise the defend
ant company would have the
right to remove the case to the
federal court, and the verdict re.
turned by the jury was against
the railroad and the trainmen.
This is the largest verdict for
~ nages rendered in court in
this county in a long number Of
years, if not in the history Of
the county. As stated last week,
the railroad company was not
sued for criminal carelessness,
this suit being based upon viola
ton of the law which pro-
vides that railroad companies
must maintain a constant lookout
from the cab Of engines and
constantly sound warnings by
ringing of the bell while going
through an incorporated town,
and it was shown by the evidence
that this was not done in this
instance. Many people do not
understand how damages could
have been awarded when the lad
ran directly in front of the engine
and was killed, but when the law
governing the operation Of trains
through incorporated towns is
understood it can be seen where
in this case, under the evidence,
there was ground for an action
for damages.
