GIVEN GOOD ROADS TWO DEATHS MARK
RIDE AROUND OAHU DAY; BOTH figures
WOULD Be RIVIERA ARE INTERNATIONAL

Nowhere else in the world will the
tourist view such grandeur as is seen
in a drive around the island" said
w. f. Hardy of Nebraska in a talk
before the members of the Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon today.
Not even the Riviera, famous in song
and story, can equal that of the drive
around the island" -
Hardy completed his statement by
saying that the roads around OahI:
were practically impossible. Buying
a secondhand car, he had made the
tour with his wife and family. but,
although his wife wanted to revisit
the scenes in the drive, he felt that
the conditions of the road were such
that he did not want to take any
chances. 80
Hardy, who is a furniture man and
a booster, suggested that the meF-
chants of Honolulu should do some
thing to remedy the conditions. He
said that it was nothing more or less
than a sound business proposition, and

DEFENSE HINTS
At OPIUM DEAL

After a three-day trial in police
court which has attracted considerable
attention Alfred Ferreira was found
not guilty by Judge Monsarrat on
charge of gross cheat involving the
alleged payment to him Of $50, and
discharged.
The complainant, Domingo Ferreira,
who is no relation to the defendant,
declared he had paid the defendant
$50 as part payment on boat, but
that the defendant never produced the
boat. Domingo has been found guilty
of smuggling and served a sentence
in the local jail
An interesting feature of the trial
was the defendants testimony that
he had received $50 from Domingo all
right not for boat but rather TO go
out in the harbor and bring in so tins
of Hong Kong opium said to be on
board a saInpan, ..e
The judge said from the bench that
he did not believe the boat story
and would not find a man guilty OF
receiving money in an illegal proceed.
ure. Sheriff William Crowell, who
was one of the audience, may take
the discharged defendant back to
Maui on similar charge.

Our convention will meet at

If you will make this little an

Venerable Citizen
Passes to Reward.

On Thursday morning, at s
o'clock, Mr.. T. l. Little died at
his home in Dresden following an
illness covering a period Of many
months.
Mr.. Little was about seventy
seven years OF age, and had been
a citizen OF Dresden for thirty or
thirty-fve years. He filled the
office of county court clerk for
twelve years, making an efficient
official. After his retirement from
that office he was made cashier OF
the Weakley County Bank and
later, after the death OF G. W.
Cottrell, was elected president Of
the bank, holding that position
until poor health forced his resig-
nation. In all his public positions
Mr.. Little was obliging and cour-
teous to the public, and by reason
of his afable nature made friends.
He was one Of the best known
and most popular men in the
county, and during his long ILL
ness his old friends were frequent
callers.
Mr.. Little is survived by his
wife and the following Children.
Mr.. T. M. Little, Mrs. Geo. W.
Jeter and Mrs. |. L. Banks, all of
Dresden; Mr.. John W. Little, Pa
ducah; Mr.. Kos Little, Kennett,
Mo, and DR.. R. M. Little, Martin.
He was a man Of unquestioned
honor, a good business man, an
indulgent husband and father, a
noble, good citizen and charitable
toward the needy. He was a life
long democrat and stood by his
party in all her trials. He will be
missed from the walks OF men.
But he has suffered much and is
now at rest in peace. The be-
reaved companion and children
have the profound sympathy of
many friends.

May Organize an
Auto Truck Line

Last year, during the berry sea-
son. there was considerable talk Of
the organization Of an auto truck
line to operate between Dresden and
Martin and Dresden and Sharon,
delivering berries, etc.. to those
places, where ample shipping ia
cilities are afforded. The truck
would also be used in hauling
freight, shipped to Martin over the
i. G., to Dresden, Latham and
Palmersville.
Last year. local berry growers
suffered much inconvenience and
some loss on account OF a lack Of
proper shipping facilities, being
forced, the officers Of the assocla-
ton inform the Enterprise, to ship
on regular trains which did not
operate to the best advantage,
This caused delay in getting the
berries on the market and result
ed in a loss Of the growers in many
instances. But it is argued that
with the purchase Of couple Of
two.ton trucks the berries could be
sent to Martin or Sharon and put
right on a berry train.
It is extremely unfortunate that
the N, C. & St. L. railroad cannot
afford shipping facilities at Ores
den that will encourage the, grow
ing of berries and other farm
truck, but if the road is unable to
take care of our farmers, then
they must provide some way for
handling their berries themselves,
and the auto truck line would
probably solve the problem. No
difficulty will be experienced rails
ing sufficient stock for the pur-
chase of several trucks.
