The Enterprise this week in.
augurates a new special depart.
ment, and, with the help of stock
growers OF the county, we hope tC
make this one Of the most inter
ing features of the Enterprise
We want to publish all the news
every week concerning all kinds o.
livestock and will appreciate any
items sent us by mail or telephoned
in. Do not hesitate to call US and
give in your stock news items
This can be made a leading and
helpful feature of the Enterprise.
Already several gentlemen have
approved the idea and pledged
their hearty cooperation, and we
want all interested in livestock to
help US. II you or your neighbor
makes q sale or a purchase OF
livestock, or if you know of a new
silo or some one who is feeding a
large bunch of cattle, hogs, etc.,
let US know it. Weneed your help.

NOT THE FIRST, EITHER.

Sundays Tennessean, in a spec
ial from Paris, stated that a Paris
newspaper issued a special edition
on last Friday giving the result Of
a negro murder trial at Paris.
The special from Paris to the
Tennessean went on to say that
this was the first special edition
ever issued by a country weekly
in this part of the state. This is
not true, for fourteen years ago
the Enterprise printed a special
edition on the morning after a
primary election, giving the un-
official vote of each district in the
county. Our force worked all
night and by 10 o'clock next day
the special edition was in circula-
tion.' So Paris isn't the only
town on the map when it comes to
doing big things for the benefit Of
the public.

1t developed at the teachers
meeting last Saturday, which was
a kind of experience meeting, be-
ing the last for the present school
year, that the smoking cigarettes
by school boys is the biggest
problem the teachers have to deal
with and a habit that is growing
among boys at an alarming rate.
All this in spite Of our laws pro-
hibiting the sale or giving away,
even the importation into the
state, of either cigarettes or ciga-
rette papers, and yet, every boy
has book of the papers. Where
do they procure them? It's just
as wrong to sell or give away
cigarette papers as it is to bootleg
whiskey as far as the law is con-
cerned.

Of the freest hearted men it has
ever been my lot to meet. He was
always ready to respond to all the
calls of the needy, and the one has
never yet lived who was any more
energetic than be, for although af-
flicted all his life, he devoted his
time to photography and so made
his own living. He was forty-six
years and thirteen days old. He
leaves a devoted companion, three
sisters, three brothers and one
half brother, with a host of rela-
tives to mourn their loss. Yet they
weep not as those who have no

question that he is now resting in

were inferred Monday at the Ma

to improve the appearance Of your
home? Do as Mr.. Allen Sharp
suggested some weeks ago, and
as several have done, following
bis very timely advice. Plant a

smokehouse, we'll shelter, the
barn and all other out-buildings
about the place; clean up the
rubbish in front.

WeakIey Docket Among Last,

The calendar for the supreme
court, which convenes at Jackson
on June 10, has been made out,
and it is noted that the Fourteenth
judicial circuit, which is Judge
Jones circuit, comes last. This
means that the Weakley county
cases appealed to this court will
be heard last on the supreme
court docket. There are several
very important cases from this
county to be passed Eupon by the

load of fertilizer. This is what is
meant when it is said the girls
need not only words of encourage

YOUR BOY.

In recent issue the Cleveland
Plain Bealer printed the following
editorial, says the Commercial
Appeal.
"Do yPu know where that boy Of
yours is spending his evenings?
"a report Of the Cuyahoga county
grand jury, made to Common Pleas
Judge Kennedy few days ago, declares
that majority of the cases brought
before it Reconsideration were directly
attributable to the influence of pool
rooms on youths whom the law is
supposed to bar from their doors. The
suggestion is not new. Other grand
juries have emphasized the same fact.
1.-THE police and tbs courts can do
much to remedy this condition. But
parents cannot afford to shirk their
own particular responsibility.

yours is spending his evenings?"

are D5t especially different from
those in almost any locality one
might pick out. 1t may be the
pool rooms or it may be some
other pleasure" resort, but the
general fact remains that boys are
not sufficiently controlled and
guided by their parents. In the
best regulated families girls are
required to conform to certain
rules of conduct, but the boys are
too often left to follow their own
sweet wills. Parents have a mis-
taken idea that long trousers bring
liberty to choose companions,
amusements and hours of coming
and going. They say: "Oh, he
has on long pants-he is old
enough to choose for himself"
when the facts are that never in
his life has the boy stood in such
peril Of bis future well-being and
in such need Of control and advice.
One of the best results of COM
pulsory military training in foreign
countries is that it helps the boy
ito find himself" at an early age
by instilling into him a respect for
authority and the general gen
tiIities. II America adopts the
system there is also where it will
work the most good to young
America.
But after all outside aids, either
Of police or a military nature, are
IeensAered, the bows best friends
and natural guardians are those
in authority in his own home.
The Plain Dealer is eminentIy
right when it says that parents
cannot afford to shirk their own
particular responsibility" And
that Responsibility is put squarelY
up I'd them in the question:
"A aere is your boy spending
his snings?"
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1916-03-31

In his talk to the Weakley
county public school teachers on
last Saturday, Prof. Manning laid
particular stress upon the fact
that the consolidated school idea
is coming with rapid pace and
that teachers must prepare for it.
He also stressed the fact that the
teacher must be a general utility
man to meet future requirements.
He must be a mixer, a church
goer, must be able to direct and
take a leading part in the COM
munity up-lift spirit which has
for its object the general better
ment OF the rural community,
He must be able to harmonic the
whole community into greater
efforts. He must be able and
qualified to pull the rural COM
munity out Of the rut, Mr.. Man
ming said, for after awhile, with
the consolidated school, the
teacher will be required to live on
the ground in a nice home pre-.
pared for him, and he will be, in
a sense, the guardian angel Of
that community. He must meas
ure up to this standard.
