Death Of a Child.

The Enterprise extends pro-
found sympathy to Mr.. and Mrs.
Willis Lee, near Hyndsver, in
their great sorrow, occasioned by
the death Of their four-year-old
boy, who died on last Monday,
following a two weeks illness Of
fever. The body was laid to rest
Tuesday at Pisgah, funeral SER
vices by Brother Webb Jackson.
The little cherub was the picture
Of health; be was cheerful, play
full and full OF hope for the future
when death summoned him. How
strangel Nothing could save him.
But It's another cherub added to
the heavenly band, waiting and
watching for papa and mama.
May this thought prove consola-
ton to the broken-hearted parents.

Squire George Newberry made an
interesting talk.
With our teachers installed in

10 Weakley Coun-
ty Corn Club Boys

Dear Boys:-The time for gath
ering your acre OF corn will soon
be at hand. This is to warn you
to be sure and carry out Rule VII
OF circular Ala in the harvesting
ofyour corn, which says that every
ear OF the corn should be weighed,
that two 100-pound lots should be
weighed separately, shucked and
the percentage OF shell corn cal
culated. This does not mean that
you can weigh one load and esti-
mate the rest. If you are lost as
to how to figure the percentage,
Just have all the corn weighed,
and sack up two 100-pound lots
and call or send for your county
agent. Have two men, other than
your folks, to see to the weighing
OF the corn that they might sign
your record book. Get your faith
er to allow you plenty of time to
have this weighing done right.
Too many Of US get in a hurry and
remark that there is no use in
weighing" and cause a deserving
boy to lose out for a valuable prize.
The prizes to be awarded at the
November corn show are going to
be given strictly to the boys who
carry out all the rules.
Don't forget to have a Item
ear exhibit at your county fair
next week. Special attention will
be given to the Boys Corn club
and Girl Canning club members
throughout the entire fair, and
especially on school children day.
Be sure to arrange to attend on
those days.

TAKES FIRST PRE-
MUM AT MEMPHIS
Weakey COunt's Exhibit Of Agricultural Pro-
ducts at the TrtState Fair Wins Over
Many Competitors

The best advertising Weakley
county ever had abroad was the
agricultural exhibit at the Tri-
State fair, arranged and looked
after principally by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis, and to them belongs the ap-
plause.
The WeakleY comfy exhibit
took first prize, $3.50, which fund,
it is understood, will be kept in
tact and used in defraying the ex-
penses of a bigger and better ex-
hibit next year.
Competing with the Weakley
county exhibit we're similar ex-
hibits from many Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas counties
but ours so far outstripped them
all that the judges experienced no
difficulty in awarding the premi-
um to Weakley county, at the
same time lavishly complimenting
the county upon its varied assert
ment Of farm products, their quail
lty and the tasty manner in which
they were arranged for exhibition
in the BOOTH. This latter was due
to the artistic work of Mr., and
Mrs. Ellis. During the past week
the Daily Commercial Appeal had
a large picture of the Weakley
county exhibit. This exhibit con-
tanned some of nearly all the pro-
ducts of the contingencies, clo-
yer, wheat, corn, tobacco, cotton,
sorghum, sweet and Irish pota-
toes-in fact, everything we grow
here. They were shown to advan-
tage and extensively commented
on by thousands Of people.
Mr.. Ellis spent several days in
Memphis this weak packing the
exhibit for shipment back here,
and it is understood the same will
be shown at the fair here next
week.
This was not all the houors,
however, that came to Weakley
county, for the Weakley county
creamery, located at Martin, car
ried off one of the premiums on
butter, while the canning club
girls Of this county captured two
premiums-third premium in the
first year work and seventh pre-
MUM in best display of first and
second year work. Competition
in this department was keen, so
you may understand our canning
club girls had some mighty nice
canned goods on display at Mem
phis, else they would not have
captured anything.

Quarterly Court In
Session Last Monday

court, by sticking to business and
working hard, was able to clear
the docket, on which there we're

Clerk Jeter informs the Enter
prise that the amount OF money
spent at this term for bridges,
levees and running expenses
amounts to about $4,000, leaving
a small balance in the treasury.
An appropriation was made
carrying the usual amount for the
employment Of a farm demonstra-
tor and canning club agent for the
year 1917, and a resolution unani-
mously adopted asking the u. S.
department Of agriculture to send
both Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis back to
as. 1t is understood other counties
are demanding the services Of Mr..
and Mrs. Ellis.
A resolution ordering COM
mittees having in charge public
work to have the work done ac-
cording to contract or bring suit
against the contractors and their
bondsmen was adopted after a
heated argument. SSThis resolution
was the outgrowth of the work
being done at Northcutt's levee,
south of Dresden.
Notaries public were elected as
follows; t. H. Meeks, A. l..

EXTRA GOODSHOW-
ING Of FINE CATTLE
Promised Fair Visitors Here During NeS|
Week. Biggest Agricultural Display
Ever Seen Here.

II present plans do not fall,
visitors to the Weakley county
fair next week will be privileged
to view the biggist showing OF fine
cattle ever exhibited at a small
fair in West Tennessee. Secretary
Webb informs the Enterprise that
plans are maturing to have
representatives OF the four lead
ing breeds in the county-Short-
horns, Jerseys, Holsteins and
Black Angus-all shown here
during the fair. The Shorthorn
breeders have already agreed to
have their best animals on ex-
hibition, and it is practically GER
tain that Jersey breeders will
combine their efforts to bring
some OF the best Jerseys in the
county to the fair, while plans
are in the making to induce
breeders of both Holstein and
Black Angus to induce them to
come with their cattle. There
are number Of very fine animals
of both the latter two named
breeds in the county and it IS
hoped they can be brought here.
The association heretofore has
been taking care Of automobiles
free Of charge. No other associa-
ton does this, and as special
man has to be provided to look
after the cars, the association
will charge fee Of Is cents for
Neach car parked in the grounds.
A special space has been set aside
for the parking Of automobiles
and reliable police placed in
charge to see that they are not
molested.
Attention is again called to the
fact that the cooking stove, which
the catalogue states will be given
by Phillips 4 Buttorff, will not
be given this year. Please bear
this in mind.
Mr.. F. G. Ezell, Of Dresden,
superintendent Of the poultry de-
partment, states that an effort
is being made to have the greatest
poultry exhibition ever seen here.
Special attentions being given this
department by Mr.. Ezell and
breeders of fine poultry.
There will be no special train
from Greenfield to Dresden this
year. This has proven expensive
to the association, and has been
discontinued.
Arrangements have been per-
fected, as previously stated in
these columns, for large amuse-
ment company, SO that those who
tire Of the show rings, races,
agricultural, livestock and the
various other exhibits may find
ample and wholesome amusement
on the Midway, where the best Of
order will be preserved by special
officers.
The agricultural exhibit prom,
ises to be the best ever shown
here. Several civil districts are
already gathering products for
exhibits and this promises to be
a leading feature Of the fair. Each
civil district in the entire county
ought to compete for this prize.
Show what your district can pro.
duce. This is the place to do it,
q Now, in a final word, let us say
Ithe Enterprise has only a COM
mon interest in the success of the
fair. It has worked wonders for
the county in thousands of ways

THE STORY OF GLASS.
How Glass 81 Made and What it is
Used for in the Electrical
dustry.

Glass is older that the arts. Vol
canic glass was in use in the stone
age. The Cave Men made from it ar
row points, spears, knives, ETC., be-
cause it could be Clipped to a razor
cutting edge. Obsidian, or volcanic
glass, was extensively used by the Az
tics of Mexico and the Incas of Peru
for the same purpose. Many a dough-
ty Spaniard fell beneath the great two
handed wooden swords, with seriated
teeth of volcanic glass, in the hands of
Montezuma's warriors. 1t is to be in
ferred that the earlier civilization
would act on this suggestion from ma
ture and endeavor to make glass by
the fusion of certain rocks and sands
Glass is very old. Its manufacture
was common in ancient times.
Chemically, any vitreous compound
is called glass. Commercially, glass is
fused mixture of two or more sill
Gates and is often named from the
predominant base, as soda glass
potash glass" lime glass;" and "lead
glass" 1t is usually transparent or at
least translucent, and is brittle at or
binary temperatures Sand is now
generally used for obtaining the sill.
Gates which form the base of glass
The sand for the finer qualitis Of
glass is quarried. The principle de.
posts of sand for glass making in the
United States are in Massachusetts
Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, West Virginia, Indiana, Miss
ouri, and New York Good sand
however, is available in almost ever,
part of the country.
There are innumerable kinds of glas
Some are named for their uses, a.
bottle glass, mirror glass, optical glas
and window glass. Others, according
to process of manufacture, as ar,
obtained, as Biar, Bohemian, Murano
Venetian or Venice and St. Gobiat
glass. Still other names are given t.
glass according to finish and FORM a!
kinkled, corrugated, fluted and spur
glass. Then there is agate, marbelizec
rose, argentine, aventurine, favrile
bronzed, silvered and platinized glass
The commonest kind of glass, however
is flint glass, and this includes all the
myriad forms of glass with the pos.
sible exception of window and bottlt
glass. Besides all these, there are
stained, painted, colored and mosaic
glass.
The principle bases used for making
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1916-03-15

all glasses are, sodium potassium, cal
cium and lead A host of other in
gradients are used in making glass,
for coloring, etc., but these vary great
ly with the many different glass COM
panies and no definite information can
be given as to their use. Very often
colored glass is made ordinarily like
any other glass, the coloring being ac-
complished by the addition of dyes
generally metal oxides) to the molten
charge. The same metal produces
several different colors at various
temperatures. More often, however,
colored glass is stained painted or en-
ameled, and when joined by strips of
lead to form a pattern, is called mos
aic.
