S125,OOO TO Be EX-
PENDED ON ROADS
GREATER PART or FUNDS ALREADY TURNED
OVER TO THE HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT.

The secretary Of state has
notified the state department OF
highways that he has placed to
the credit Of that department IN
the office Of the state treasurer
$3.50 .537. O5 Of the automobile tund
which has been apportioned to the
various counties and that he has
approximately $35,5OO on hand
not yet apportioned. Apportlon-
ment Of this latter amount will
be completed by April IS and Will
show the amount collected from
July /, 1915, to April 1, 1916
This means that the depart
ment Of highways will have ap-
proximately $125,000 "state aid"
money to spend on the roads IN
Tennessee this year, which Will
be the first state aid Tennessee
has given the public roads since
1901. The money will be spent
toward the maintenance Of the
Estate highways being designat-
ed by the department IN the
various counties. The depart
ment plans call for connecting
every county site in the state
with a good road. This, officials
realize, will take several years to
accomplish, but the start will be
made this year.
Requests have been sent out to
officials over the state to supply
the secretary Of state with the
names Of any owners who have
failed to secure the 1916 number
plate, and these names will be
turned over to the grand jury
when court meets in that county,
which would result in the owner
having to pay a fine of from So
to $50 in addition to his license
fee. All these fines go to the
state highway fund.
The fee runs to $3.50 for motor
cycles, SIS for motor trucks,
traction engines and all automo-
biles Of four-passenger seating
capacity and under, and $3.50 for
all cars over four-passenger seat

New Advertisers
Know a Good Thing

Because OF its very extensive
circulation throughout the entire
county, the Enterprise is building
large advertising patronage
among foreign advertisers. These
firms make study Of advertising.
They especially pay attention to
circulation, paying literally for
space in papers with good circula-
ton.
This week we begin the adver-
Using Of Hanna's Green Seal paint,
sold exclusively in Dresden by
McWherter & Brooks, who inform
us that in their seven years handl-
ing this paint they have never had
complaint and that it is giving
general satisfaction. The adver-
Using Of Green Seal paint is very
attractive, as you will see by
hunting it up in today's paper and
reading it. 1t is also helpful to
prospective users of paint, and
during the next three months our
readers are asked to read all these
paint advertisements.
Another advertisement which
commences next week is that OF
Mr.. ]. D. Brooks, representative
in this section for the old and
favorably known De Laval cream
separator. This machine has
been on the market long enough
to establish an enviable reputation,
and yet, the makers fully apprecl-
ate the fact that advertising is
necessary to sell their cream
sepa rators. The De Laval is q
good machine, and Mr.. Brooks
will be glad to demonstrate it tc
you any time. Call or write him
if interested in a cream separator
He will deal honorably and
souarelv with you. He lives right
here in the county, SO that you car
call upon him if there should b
any trouble. This is much better
than buying from a torelgr
concern.

Gardner Sells 6,4OO
Acres for 'S223,168

After several months negotia-
ton, J. H. Wood of Parkin, Ark,
has exercised his option and pur-
chased from Russell E. Gardner
of St. Louis his hunting preserve
in Crittenden county, Arkansas.
He paid 1928, 1853 cash.
The property consists OF 6,4OO
acres of fine gum, oak and ash
timber land. Preparations are be-
ing made to cut the timber inn
mediately and thereby clear the
land for farming purposes. The
soil is a rich, sandy loan and is
we'll drained.
It is understood that Mr.. Wood
purchased the land for the Lam
sing Wheelbarrow Company OF
Lansing, Mich. The company
probably will consume all the tim
Der on The property in the manu-
facture of wheelbarrows.
Arrangements are being made
by the purchasers to contract sew
en- miles of railroad from Hughes,
on the Mariana cutoff road, to
Bruins Landing. The railroad
will run through the heart of the
forest.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

The American Government has ac-
copied Germany's promise to bring
her submarine warfare under the linz
itations of the recognized rules of
international law as insisted upon by
the United States, and Washington
now relies upon a "Scrupulous ex-
ecution of the altered policy" Ger
many is told in the note just for
warded to Berlin that the United
States Government cannot entertain
suggestion that respect for the
rights of American citizens on the
high seas should in any way be made
contingent upon the conduct of any
other Government affecting the
rights of neutrals and noncombat-
ants.

HUM lived for many years in the
West End of this county, but moved
to Louisville a number of years ago.
She was a devout member Of the
Christian church and her friends in
cluded all who knew her. Her death
has cast a gloom over the section in
which she lived so long and is a Sc
we're blow not only to the relatives
but to the many friends who loved
her also. The children who survive
and who have the unbounded synlpa-
thy of their many friends are: Mrs.
Mary Dunn, Hustcnville. Mr.. \. NJ.

MAY COURT DAY.

Only fair crowd was in town or
Monday, May county court day, as
the weather was so fine, it afforded
the farmers splendid opportunity to
catch up with their work. Trading
in all sorts of livestock was a little
off also. There were about 500 cat
tie on the market and some extra
good which sold up to IA cents a
pound but many were taken back un-
sold. Several buyers were here for
army horses and mules and secured
about dozen from 500 to $125 a
head. The principal topic of CONVEX
sation among Lincolnites was the
bond issue election to be held next
Saturday. Considerable opposition
seems to have developed to the ques
ton and predictions were more ge,
orally made Monday that it will be
beaten than that it will win.
