PROBABLE AGREE
MENT IN DRAINAGE

Tuesday was the day, set for the fl
nal hearing before County Judge
Mayo of the North Ford Drainage
District, and, consequently, a very
large number of drainage people were
in town-some for and some oppOs-
ing the project.
Late in the afternoon, after all
day conference, it was agreed to post
pone the final hearing before the
county Judge until next Monday,
when Judge Mayo will very likely
decide the case one way or the other.
Efforts are being made on both
sides, 1T is understood, to reach an
agreement by which litigation will
be avoided, and it is understood that
a stipulated price for the cost Of the
ditehing, etc, viii be agreed upon,
provided the district is declared es-

"A YEAR OLD LAD
KILLED BY TREE.
Son or Joe Copeland, Of the First District
Meets Tragic Death. Crushed to
by Falling Tree.

Mr.. Fount Gibson was here Tues
day from the First district, and
brings the information of the tragic
death of the 14-year-old son of Mr.,
Joe Copeland, of that district, one
day last week, when the lad was
killed by a falling tree.
Mr.. Copeland was telling the tree.
The boy was busy piling wood which
had been cut. He had an arn-full
when the tree started to fall, and his
father called to him, warning the boy
to get out of the way. The little
fellow, it appears, became excited
and ran directly in the path Of the
tree, which crushed him to earth.
One arm and one leg was broken
and the skull fractured. The boy
lived about an hour after the terri
BILE accident. He was bright boy
and industrious, and his tragic death
has FRUSTRATED his parents, espec-
tally the father, who alone witnessed

WEAKLEY Y" FUND
GOES OVER TOP.
Generous Citizens Spontaneously 0Vssubsu&
Amount Asked FOfySeveraI Hundred
Dollars. Sharon Leads.

From the Weakley county boys
in the trenches and in the various
training camps will come a thousand
cheers for the folks "back home'
when they are informed that the gen
erous-hearted citizens of Weakley
county greatly Over-subscribed the
$4,000 asked of this county by the
Y. NJ. c. A. for use as a war fund.
1t was an easy matter to raise the
$4,000 among these good people, who
spontaneously and generously gave of
their means that the home fires
may be kept burning in the training
camps for the young patriots, fight
ing freedoms battle.
Perhaps the blue ribbon goes to
Sharon. Sharon, with only two dis
tricts to work in, was assessed $400,
Her citizens raised and contributed
1915 with hardly an effort.
Next comes Greenfield, which town
was asked to contribute $500. But
she went away over the top, collect
ing through the energetic committees
the sum of 1927
At a special meeting Sunday af-
ternoon, the liberal, generous citi-
zens of New Salem contributed
$112.45-all within about Is min
utes time.
Dresden, as she always does, re-
sponded literally, giving, up to Tues
day night, $3.50, with others to come
in by the close of the campaign, which
has been extended to Sunday, inclu-
sive.
The following amounts were asked
and subscribed by the several towns
of the county to to make the cOun-
tvs quota of $4,000.

ROAD WORKING
ON NEXT TUESDAY

Several times during the present
year efforts have been made to set
a date for improving the Palmersville
road, which frankness compels us to
say is about the worst in the entire
county. First one thing and another
has arisen to prevent the working.
In fact, the farmers have been too
busy to work roads, and we towns
people too ALFRED lazy.
But now the roads going to be
worked. Joe Tyson, Casey Pente-
cost and Walter McWherter say So
and when these gentlemen say a thing
it goes. They will this week go over
the route soliciting help, appointing
foremen, ETC., and on next Tuesday
morning, promptly at z o'clock ev-
cry citizen in any degree interested
in a decent road to Palmersville from
Dresden is expected, invited and
urged to be on the road ready for
one or two days work with teams
and tools. Two days good, faithful
work by those living on the road will
put this road in shape where it ought
to receive a liberal share of of the
automobile tax money for all-win-
ter dragging, but it will take faith
full work to accomplish this end.
Let the Enterprise suggest that a
good, broad, high levee be thrown
up at the sand bar north of Macks
Grove church, using clay and sand,
thoroughly mixed with an ordinary
peg-tooth harrow or disc as put on,
and with regular dragging this bad
stretch will soon become the best
piece on the entire route.
Remember the day, bOys-next
Tuesday. If Tuesday is a bad day,
then Wednesday.

DIR. PARISH ADDS
X-RAY MACHINE

To his already well-equipped Of
flee fixtures, DR.. B. B. Parish is this
week installing the most modern
X-ray machine made. The machine
will be operated by electricity from
the Dresden power plant.
We dare say, there is no physi-
clans office in the county more ad-
equately equipped for the modern
practice of medicine than that of DR..
Parish, who is thoroughly alive to
present-day needs in the practice of
medicine. If you have not been to
his office lately it would interest
you to drop in some day and look over
his equipment. You will find nearly
every convenience and you will be
astonished to see how we'll fixed he

REGRETS DEPART
URE OF PASTOR.

Under the conference rule Rev.
C. L. Smith, pastor of Trinity church,
will be changed at the approaching
conference to convene in Murray,
KY, next Wednesday. During the
four years of his pastorate Trinity
church has prospered in all depart
ments of church activity. Two hun
bred and sixty-seven members have
been received during his ministry
there, and the present church build
ing which was begun the year before
he came, in 1913, has been complet-
ed and the congregation now wor-
ships in modern, up-to-date house.
The congregation is united and har-
monious. They are sorry to part
with the faithful and capable pastor
who has so greatly led them the past
four years, and wish for him increas-
ed prosperity and success in the new
charge he will be given for next year
The people of Jackson, regardless Of
church lines, share in expressions of
regret that Rev. Smith may possibly
be removed from the city. He has
been in the forefront of all whole
some movements during his resi-
dence in the community.-Jackson

GEO. s. BOYD FUEL
ADMINISTRATOR.
Popular Banker and Generous Citizen to Look
After The Fuel Situation in Weakky
County. Organizing

Mr. Geo, S. Boyd, cashier of the
Dresden Bank, was notified by wire
on last Friday of his appointment
to the very responsible position of
fuel administrator for Weakley
county. The place came unsolicited
on Mr.. Boyd's part. There is not a
penny of compensation attached to
the office-but a vast amount of
work.
Mr. Boyd has full authority over
the coal supply Of the entire county,
governing both the supply and the
price, There is not now enough coal
on hand, as will be seen from the at
tached paragraph from State Fuel
Administrator Myers letter, to sup
ply immediate needs, and precaution-
airy steps are necessary to the end
that no man get more than his share.
Many homes in the towns of the
county that have been using coal for
heating and cooking purposes will be
forced to use wood, and Mr.. Boyd
urges that immediate arrangements
be made, while the roads and wealth
er are good, to lay in a supply of
wood. No consumer is allowed to
purchase more than two tons at any
one time.
Mr.. Boyd has visited the various
towns of the county, holding confer
ences with coal dealers and citizens,
and has been pledged the co-opera-
ton of those knowing the true status
of affairs with regard to the coal
situation.
Below we publish an important
paragraph of Mr.. Myers letter to
Mr.. Boyd. You are urged to read
and heed it:
"Alfow me to call your attention
to the fact that in the last few days
great change for the worse has
taken place in the coal situation
The unexpected and enormous de
mand for coal from the government
to be sent to Italy for the use of oul
allies there, coupled with the further
speeding up of the munition plants
has made an enormous inroad. It is
now absolutely certain that there
will not be enough coal to supply
even the homes of our people witr
enough coal to keep them warm. II
is necessary for our people to begin
now laying in amply o. wood FOL

winter. So l urge yOn to cell meet.

reaches you, AMI lay the situation

wood cut and hauled in while the
roads are good and before the time OF
need comes. Wood will cost them
more and will not be so convenient,
but they will not be able to get
enough coal"

THROWN FROM WA
CON AND INJURED.

Mr.. Joe Freeman, of the Hynds-
yer vicinity, sustained painful inju-
ries, perhaps several broken ribs, on
last Monday, when he was thrown
from a wagon loaded with wood,
some of the wood falling upon him.
Mr.. Freeman was crossing a ditch
on an improvised bridge, which gave
way under the load, precipitating
Freeman to the ground aqa part of
the wood upon him. He jumped to
save himself, but was too late, large
sticks striking him in the side.
At last accounts Mr., Freeman was
suffering intensely and it was thought
he had several fractured ribs.

Bro. Robertson, of Greenfield, was
county chairman, and the splendid
work shows how we'll in hand and at
heart he had the work. T. J. Jeter
was chairman for Martin. He did
faithful service. Harrell Moran
looked after the Dresden fund, and,
like a regular Methodist steward, he
went, saw, conquered and brought
in the money. DR.. R. W. Bandy, so
used to handling, collecting and pay
ing out the filthy lucre, organized his
forces at Gleason and had no diff
Guilty in securing his $400. Jack
Shannon, the handspring of Sharon,
just told the boys, including Bro,
Ben Jones, the money had to come
and it did, the measure going way
over the top.
All this goes to show how deter
mined Weakley county is that the
war shall be won, and that no thing
upon our part looking to the comfort
and welfare and uplift of our boys
shall be lacking
Even to the last farthing we pos
sess.
1t was not intended to convey the
idea that the amounts above speci-
fled were raised by citizens of these
towns alone. All citizens of all parts
of the county, both town people and
rural, are due credit for the sum con-
tributed to the army "Y" fund.

British Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 23.-The advance of
the British army against the Germans
was continuing this afternoon. The
towns of Masnieres, Marcoing, Ribe-
court, Havrincourt, Graincourt and
Fiesduieres all were behind the Brit
ish advancing line and the cavalry
which is cooperating with the tanks
and rendering invaluable service, was
drawing in toward the Bourian wood,
west of Cambria.
About 5000 German prisoners
were in the British cages this morn
ing as a result of yesterdays attack
in the Cambria sector, and nearly a
score of guns were captured.
The British continued the attack
today and the troops which had pour
ed through the gaps torn in the Hin
denburg line by the tanks were max
ing good progress in hopping up the
enemy's territory west and southwest
Of Cambria. Both Havrincourt and
Flesuuieres are well in the rear OF
pushing on toward Cantaing at the
latest reports. Marcoing and Mas
nieres, south of Cambria, had beer
entered and the high ground north
of MARCHING, known as Frenzy Chap
pelle, had been fought over, the Ger
mans being forced to withdraw.

1t may be surprising to the gen
eral public to know that out of list
of more than 5000 subscribers the
Enterprise has lost but three names
from its list since it's announcement
of an increase in the price of sub
scription; and there have been added
since that time more than 200 new
names. One of the three lost was a
tobacco buyer; another is tobacco
grower who is pooling his tobacco
for a high price, (and we honestly
hope he will get it) and the third
was a merchant, who had increased
the price to more than double on
every article in his little stock.
But here are some letters and kind
expressions from those who are de-
termined to keep up with the county
news and the big, interesting war
events:
