Big Profit in To-
matoeS and Cabbage.

Mr.. Tom Rowlett, near Martin,
is one Of the farmers who has
already realized the folly OF tobacco
and cotton and the wisdom Of
trucking for the northern markets.
Mr.. Rowlett put six acres in to-
matoes and cabbage this year and
has already sold 81, 800 worth of
both products from the six.acre
patch. He expects to sell a big
quantity Of these vegetables before
the market closes or the crops are
exhausted.
A travelling salesman made the
remark in Martin just a few days
ago that the finest quality of to-
matoes he had seen anywhere
and be has travelled about ex.
tensively-was grown at Martin,
He was very lavish in his praise Of
the Martin tomato, which has
brought top notch.notch ,prises on
the market, because of their
exceptionally fine quality-large,
red, of uniform shape and smooth,
Other farmers in the vicinity Of
Martin have, perhaps, equaled Mr..
Rowlett's, but the same has not
been brought to our attention, and
if SONS one will kindly inform us
Of these good records the Enter
prise will take pleasure in print
ing an account of them, showing
to the outside world that it is not
necessary to go to Mississippi or
elsewhere to farm successfully.

General Road Work
ing Day is Talked.

Local road enthusiasts are
talking a general road working
day for Weakley county, and a
date will be set some time in the
near future, provided there ap-
pears sufficient interest to justify
the attempt at doing some work
on our public roads, which have
been neglected and are now in a
very bad state Of repair.
July q was general good roads
day in Tennessee, but there was
nothing done on the roads in this
county on that day. Our farmers
were quite busy and the town
people showed DO interested. But
it is thought by some that, in
view Of the early approach Of
winter and the further fact that
little has been done to the roads,
sufficient interest may be aroused
to justify the setting of day and
puttingi the roads in fairly good
condition. At least, some grading
and widening could be done on
the hills and the narrow places
in the roads. There are many
places on all the roads that need
someEworkss done, besides the hills
and narrow places which ought
to have attention.
There are too many narrow
places in Imany Of our public
roads. These ought to be widen
ed. They:sare dangerous in meet
ing vehicles, and if a number Of
interested parties would band to-
gether, set a day and all meet,
putting in a good days labor,
wonderful improvements could be
made at no expense to the tax
payers of the county.
Let US make up our minds
that we are going to have a better
system OF public roads in Weak
ley county, and if this road work
ing day is set let every man able
to do a days work go out and
help.

Pastors Salaries
Should be Raised

In the third place, we must carry
on a campaign to make coun-
try churches themselves double
PASTORS salaries. The astonish.
ing but indubitable fact is that
there are thousands of country
churches in the south today
whore the pastors are not so well
supported as they were twenty
years ago. Understand me, do
not say that salaries have been
formally reduced. But the point
is that if salaries have not been
raised, they have been tremen-
dously reduced by the advancing
cost Of living. Bradstreet's gen.
eral index shows that the
necessities OF life have virtually
doubled in price since 1896. That
is to say, if a church has doubled
the dollars paid for its pastors
salary since 1896 it is actually
supporting him only as well as
than, while if it has kept his
salary at 1896 figures, it is only
paying him half as much as
then. From an address by Clar-
ence Poe, Editor The Progressive
Farmer.

BATTLE CRUISERS WILL.
HAVE HISTORIC NAMES
May Be Called United States, Con-
gress, Alliance and Ranger, if
officials Plans Work Out.

The historic names Congress, United
States, Alliance and Ranger probably
will reappear on the United States Navy
lists with the christening of the four
giant battle cruisers, bids for which
will be opened at the Navy Department
in December. Although no decision
has been reached yet, it was learned
today that favorable consideration is
being given to those four names, taken
from the frigates of revolutionary
days.
The name of the battleship kearsarge
may be changed to permit one Of the
cruisers to bear the name of the YES
sci which brought to an end the spec
tacular career Of the Confederate COM
merce destroyer Alabama in the civil
war. Another suggestion is that one
cruiser bear the name Merrimac. In
that connection, it is pointed out, that
the famous Confederate ironclad which
fought the Monitor during the civil
war. although popularity known as the
Merrimae, never bore that name while
under the Confederate flag. The Mer
rimac was under construction at the
outbreak of the war. and when seized
by the Confederates her name was
changed to Virginia. the name she bore
during her battle with the Monitor. The
Navy Department is disinclined to use
the names Constitution or Constellation.
