c.. T. S. Medals, Academic.

Letters lately received from Mr.
Burnett hurry reveal the fact that
an omission was made in summing
up points upon which medals in
the academic department OF the
Greenfield Training school we're
awarded May 26. In letter to
Miss Mary Lee Swain he says,
II forgot to put your Cicero grade
down, and that will give you 50
points" In a letter to myself he
says, Il forgot to put bown Miss
Swaim's grade in Cicero" | in.
structed teachers to be very care
full not to make an error in report
ing the grades to me. Mr.. hurry
reported a grade in Latin tor Miss
Mary Lee Swain, which was
counted. He should have reported
two grades in Latin, since she did
double work in that branch. This
omission was not discovered until
his letter to Miss Swain was
received. The 95 points in Cicero
if counted, would have put Mis-;
Mary Lee Swain 16 points in the
lead for first medal. / deeply re
greet that the failure Of teacher tt
report a grade led to an error ii
the final summing up Of points
and deem it appropriate and JUS
to make this statement. Miss
Swaim's standing throughout The
year was excellent in each of bel
branches and from every stand
point. VIM. Thurman.

Planning for the
Good Roads Day.

Mr.. Bob Taylor, travelling sales
man, was here last Friday from
Martin and informs the Enter
prise reporter that citizens in and
around Martin are laying plans
for the coming good roads day,
which is Thursday, July, "a. He
saws that an effort will be made
on that day to complete the Mar
tin Dresden link of the Nashville
Hickman highway, begun last
year. There is much work need
ed on this route, and it should be
given special attention, There is
a vast amount Of travel between
the towns Of Dresden and Martin
and this ought to be an ideal road.
All who feel an interest in better
roads are urged to make plans to
spend Thursday, July "a, on the
roads at work.
Martin people also are intense
ly interested in the Davis high
way, extending from the northern
lakes to the gulf, and will put in
some good work on the roads
south and north OF Martin on
Tennessee good roads day, which
Gov. Rye has proclaimed shall
be observed on July "a.
At this time there does not
seem to be great deal Of inter-
est in Dresden in the move.
There is not now an organization
here and no one seems to be
willing to take the matter in hand.
Last year Congressman Garrett
was the leader in this great move,
assuming much responsibility in
the matter Of organization, etc.
But we can't afford to be left be-
hand, and the Enterprise sug-
gests that a public meeting be
held at once and organization
perfected.

ATTACK ON THREE
|MPORTAN FRONTS.
British and French Join in Offensive on
Sonme. Smash German
First Line.

London, July, 2.-The British
troops in their great drive in
France have captured German
labyrinth of trenchs on front OF
seven miles to a depth of 1000
yards and the villages of Mon
tauban and Mametz.
North of the Aucre Valley, ac'
cording to the official statement,
the British have not been able to
hold sections OF the ground gained
in their first attacks, Two thous-
and German prisoners have been
taken.
The text of the British official
statement giving this information
reads:
Heavy fighting continued all
day between the rivers Somme
Aucre and north Of Aucre to
Gommecourt, inclusive. The fight
on the whole of this front still
continues with intensity.
"On the right Of our attack we
have captured German labyrinth
of trenches on a front OF seven
miles to a depth Of 1000 yards
and have stormed and occupied
the strongly fortified villages OF
Montauban and Mametz.
I'm the center OF our attack on
a front OF four miles we have
gained many strong points, while
at others the enemy is still hold
ing out and the struggle on this
front is still severe.
North of the Aucre Valley to
Gommecourt, inclusive, the battle
is equally violent, and in this
area we have been unable to re-
tain portions of the ground gain
ed in our first attacks while other
portions remain in our possession
up to the present more thar
1000 German prisoners have
passed through our collecting sta
tions, including two reglmenta
commanders and the whole Of one
lregimental staff.
The large number OF enemies
dead on the battlefield indicates
that the German casualties hav'
been very severe especially il
the vicinity Of Fricourt.

troops penetrated the German
trenches at various points on tn
front between Souchez and Ypres
