Teachers Hold Very
Enthusiastic Meeting

The Weakley County Teachers
association was held in the court
house at Dresden last Saturday.
Most every teacher in the county
and number of Dresden citizens
were present.
The house was called to order
and a short, instructive talk made
by chairman ]. G. Graham.
DR.. Young, from Martin, was
present and made a splendid talk
on the importance of having a law
in Weakley county wherein all
pupils in the public schools are
to be examined by good physic-
ians, and if not found normal the
cause may be known and a
remedy applied.
State Supt. Sheriff also made a
good talk on the same subject,
and spoke of the serious results ol
many diseases among children,
due to neglect and ignorance Of
parents and teachers during their
school life.
All present approved of such g
law and a move was made by
which a bill might be brought be-
fore the house at the next legisla.
tive meeting. E. P. Smith, ]. c.
Graham and Miss Ida Hancock
were appointed a committee tc
confer with the Weakley County
Medical association to see what
can be done.
E. P. Smith was present and
discussed his subject, Value Of
Latin in Mind Development" in
very forceful manner. All the
teachers on the program were
present and ready to respond, but
their time was given to Supt
Sheriff. for his address which was
interesting, helpful and inspiring
to every teacher present.
T. B, Logaips made a brief, but
impressive talk and promised tc
be present at another meeting.

valuable remarks and kindly in
sisted that each teacher be present

Let Contract For
Clearing Floodway

At a meeting, held here Tues
day, the board of directors of the
Middle Fork and Spring Greek
drainage district ordered that a
new contract be let for clearing
approximately 375 acres of flood.
way, and the advertisement for
the same appears elsewhere in
today's Enterprise.
The contractors, some gentle
men from Greenfield, gave up
their contract on this JOB, claim
ing that they were not making
expenses. They came to Dres-
den upon several occasions con-
sulting with Attorney Lewis, who
informed them that neither he
nor the board of directors had
authority to release them from
their contract, bond for which
had been executed. They finally
quit work on clearing the flood
way, necessitating the letting OF a
new contract, which will be done
at the courthouse in Dresden on
Oct. 26, three separate contracts
to be let for this work on the
above date.
The board also directed the
attorney to advertise for sale such
lands in the district on which the
1915 tax had not been paid. This,
however, amounts to practically
but one tract, that belonging to
DR.. D. ]. Rogers, who has been
on deal for the sale of his land in
the district. There are two other
small tracts on which the 1915
tax has not been paid-one a
fraction of an acre and the other
some eighteen acres, belonging
to number Of heirs. Part Of the
tax has been paid on the latter.
So, it will be seen that practically
all the 1915 drainage tax has
been paid.

Popular Greenfield
Couple Are Welded.

On Wednesday night, at the
home of the brides mother, Mrs.
Sallie Shannon, in Greenfield, the
rites of matrimony were solemniz-
ed between Mr.. Ralph McUmber
and MISS Ruby Shannon, Rev.
Robertson officiating, in the pres
ence Of a large assembly OF rela-
tives and intimate friends. The
large array of both handsome and
useful gifts displayed on this &C.
casion showed the high esteem in
which these most deserving young
people are held.
The bride is one Of Green6eld's
fairest flowers. She has been a
social favorite there all her life;
and by her winning ways has
gained the friendship of all with
whom she came in contact. Tine
handsome groom is one of the
most industrious prosperous farm
ers of that vicinity. For several
wears he and his father have en-
gagged in truck farming, and have
prospered. Citizens of Greenfield
speak in the very highest terms Of
praise of him. He is moral, sober,
| industrious and congenial.
The Enterprise joins the host of
friends in extending congratQla-
tions, with the added wish that
theirs may be a happy, thornless
voyage on the sea of matrimony.

Alex Edwards Says
Gleason is Booming

Mr.. Alex Edwards spent sew
erol hours here Monday from
Gleason and was in a most opti-
mistic mood. He states that Glea-
son is fairly booming, that the po-
tato crop is being housed and that
those who are selling are realizing
nice profits. Alex says that Broth
er Nants will clean up not less than
$4,000 on potatoes this season.
Mr.. Nants has already loaded
out six cars, some Of which Melted
him clear profit of fifty-odd cents
a bushel. Cotton is fairly rolling
into Gleason from all directions
and top notch prices are being
paid. This, with the big potato
crop, and the liberal price being
paid for both, Mr.. Edwards says,
is making Gleason a hustling,
thriving, prosperous city these
days; that all the merchants there
are enjoying liberal patronage and
that a wave OF prosperity seems to
be sweeping over the community.
Mr.. Bennett Bynum, the finan-
cial mogul of that section, has
some seventv-five acres in pota.

Guilty experienced there now is
that of getting hands to dig. The
price of $3.50 per day is being
paid, but still there is a shortage

Lightning Fires Barn.

The large barn on the Garrett
farm, Just south of the spoke
factory, was fired by a bolt of
lightning Thursday morning
about s o'clock and burned to the
ground.
The barn contained over 300
bales of hay and some farming
tools, all being a total loss with no
insurance. The loss is estimated
at about $500. The smoke was
observed from town shortly after
the flash Of lightning and it was at
first thought to be the home Of
either the Roffe boys or Milua

Officer Assaulted;
By-Stander is Shot.

On last Saturday night Police
man Lon Deming, of Greenfield,
was assaulted with brick as he
was conducting a disorderly to the
town lookup. The brick was
thrown from the rear, striking
Officer Deming son the side of the
head. Quick as a flash the officer
drew his gun, firing one shot,
which went wild, striking young
man named Ed Galley and in
flicting painful wound in the leg.
The party throwing the rock at
the officer made his escape in the
dark. Mr.. Deming, we under
stand, does not know who threw
the brick or rock which struck
him in the head. He was in the
discharge Of his official duty when
struck from the rear, and, felt
justified in defending himself,
which he did by bringing his
weapon into play, but we under
stand he deeply regrets wounding
young Galley.
The frequency with which our
peace officers are being assassi-
mated, assaulted and abused is
becoming alarming. Some weeks
ago a bootlegger killed a deputy
sheriff at Dawson. Only a few
days ago the officer at Fulton vas
killed. Last Friday an officer in
one of the eastern counties of the
state was killed while in the dis
charge Of his official duty. Things
are coming to a pretty pass when
our peace officers are killed while
discharging their duties.

Weakley County Exhibit.

Tuesdays Commercial Appeal
contained a picture Of the Weak
ley county agricultural exhibit
at~-the Memphis fair, in progress
this week. The exhibit, the
Commercial Appeal states, is
featuring sweet potatoes, for the
production OF which Weakley
county is famous. While the ex-
hibit may have shown a fine lot
of sweet potatoes, attracting wide
spread attention, it slso shows
other rare speciments of farm
products grown in this county.
More than this, it is an attractive
exhibit, showing the artistic
manner in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis have arranged the grasses,
fruits, vegetables, corn, tobacco,
and so on.
No doubt thousands Of people
will stop to look at our exhibit,
and Weakley county will gain
some good advertising through
the same.

Hon. F. J. Garrett
To Enter Campaign

Representative Garrett, who
reached home during the past
week from Washington, has rest
ed sufficiently from his eleven
hundred.mile auto trip and wifi
enter the political campaign next
week, making his first speech
next Monday at Cookville, East
Tennessee.
From the East Tennessee town
Mr.. Garrett will go into Ken

that week making political speeches
in Kentucky. He will spend the
following week in Missouri,
speaking there in behalf of both
the local and national tickets.
Mr.. Garrett will probably spend
the week following his speech

Jersey. After his eastern tour
he will return home, spending
practically the remainder of the
campaign in his home state in
his congressional district. Many
calls are being made for Mr..
CARROTS services in the presi-
dental campaign, partly because
of his intimacy with President
Wilson and also because of his
ability as a stumper, but he has
placed his services at the disposal
Of the national committee, which
will send him where most needed.

doubtly is the best on the market

ate cost. Then, too, they add to
the attractiveness Of the home, the

Many different designs are placed

Citizens Of Martin Setting An Example
That All Might Follow. A Fine Road
to the ObiOn County Line.

In building five miles of per-
feet dirt road out each direction
from Martin the citizens OF that
town and community are setting
an example that we all should
follow.
We were driven out by Messrs.
Chambers, Woods, Blakemore
and Rankin over the road to the
Obion county line on last Satur-
day and do not hesitate pro-
nouncing it an ideal dirt road
and we are indebted to these
accommodating gentlemen for the
pleasure of inspecting this piece
OF fine road work.
The hills have been reduced,
roadbed raised and Widened,
bitches opened and bridges and
culverts put in where needed.
The thing that attracted US most
OF all was that the road all the
way out, barring one single ex-
ception, which is just north of
DR.. Johnson's residence, has been
given ample drainage. That is
to say the side bitches are large
enough and the roadbed so graded
that it provides water. shed.
Some Of the good citizens out that
way are keeping the road dragged
until such time as the auto
tax money will be put in use.
On Thursday of last week the
Martin teams, crew, machinery,
and so on, were put on the Dres-
den end of the Martin road, work
ing out toward Dresden half way,
where we are expected to meet
them. This we must do. We
simply can't afford not to put
our section Of the Dresden-Martin
road in as good condition as the
Martin people have put theirs
1t is up to this town and her peo-
pie to do it and to fail will reflect
upon us all. That's all there is
to it. A part Of this road, from
Dresden out to Mud creek, is in
pretty fair shape, but the other
two miles Of the road needs con.
siderable work.
{ Mr.. Geo. S. Knox, chairman
of the finance committee, informs
US that he has nearly enough
r subscribed by farmers and others
to put the Martin-Sharon road in
4 apple.pie order.
Let this good road work go on
and on, and let all the people,
farmers as well as townspeople,
give a lift so that the burden may
/, not become too heavy. With all
, working together Weakley county
, can soon have a system of roads
/ surpassed by none.

domestic science departments, all
promise to excel former years.
We understand special showing

breeders of Jerseys and other
breeds will bring their cattle here.
The woman's building will be
we'll worth the price of admission,
for here may be seen the things
that count in the homes Of Weak
ley county.
The race program will be the
hest ever seen here. an added fea-
ture being a daily running race,for
which good purses have been offer
ed by the association.
The special premium list is the
biggest ever offered for the local
fair exhibitors.
The attractions are superior to
any ever assembled at this fair.
The association has contracted
with DeVaux & Klien's Carnival
of amusements for the entire fair
week. They bring with them q
number OF hlgh-ciass attractlons'
endorsed by leading people all
over the county; and there will be
four daring free acts daily, includ'
ing a balloon ascension. Music
will be furnished by Zerella's con-
cert band.
Now, this is just ioretaste Of
what may be expected. This is
your fair and you are cordially in
vited to bring the whole family
and spend the four DAYS viewing
the livestock, agricultural and do
mestic science exhibits.
