Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1917-08-31

Miss Gersta Neal, of Dyersburg,
has been the guest of Mrs. W. D.
Brasfield. The two ladies were
school girls together, pupils of Dr.
A. B. Jones at Jackson, and have for
number of years been close friends,
visiting one another regularly.
Mr.. Frank Counsel, one of our
leading farmers, deserves the blue
ribbon on pepper growing. Friend
Counsel brought to the Enterprise
office on last Saturday one stalk of
pepper bearing 524 pods, all well
matured and as hot as blue blazes!
This is the most prolific stalk Of pep
per we ever heard of, and will be on
exhibition at the fair,
Mr.. Sam Barton reached Dresden
on last Saturday night, accompanied
by his bride, to whom he was recent
tly married in Memphis. The Enter
prise has been unable to learn the
maiden name Of Mrs. Barton, but is
informed that she is most excel
lent lady. The Enterprise joins with
the friends of the handsome groom
in extending congratulations with
the added wish that theirs may be an
endless life of undisturbed matri-
monial bliss.
/ Mr.. Jerry Jeter left last Friday
morning for his army post, and from
there expects to go to France at an
early date. He belongs to the ma
rines. A great crowd of his friends,
both old and young, assembled at the
depot to bid him good bye and Cod
speed. Jerry is one Of Dresden's
most popular young men. He stands
high in the esteem Of all our people.
As assistant postmaster he was eff
Gent, polite and obliging to all, and
he leaves here with the sincere good
wishes of all our people.
A conscientious subscriber to the
Enterprise is our friend R. H. Girls
som, who resides near Dukedom. Mr..
Grissom came in last week with a
dollar and a nickle in his hand-the
dollar to pay for the Enterprise an
other year and the nickle to pay for
the special edition of the Enterprise
sent out several weeks ago.. Mr.
Grissom saw the words SO cents" on
the paper and thought all subscribers
were required to pay that sum. He
said he did not mind it, that it was
worth it and that a man ought to re-
ceive pay for his work We ex-
planned to him, of course, that the
special edition went to all regular
subscribers and that the charge of S
cents was to nOn-subscribers purchas-
ing the special edition. Anyhow, he
was willing to pay for it.

DAWSON ROCK
 GOOD LOOKING

Some of the finest looking ore seen in the Klondike has been se- cured by the veteran prosQector, Nicr, Donahue, from his property which lies along the ridge in the vicinity of the heads of Gold Run creek anl Portland and Caribou benches, says the Dawson News. Several hundred pounds of the rock have been brought to the city, and i is the intention of MT. DOnahue to take out a large quantity this year he states, and to have ship ment made to the smelter. The main body of the rock is of a crys- talline nature with ironstain, and most of it is free milling. MT. Don ahue says:
 This rock has been assayed by local assayers of the biz companies and outside assayers, and the lowest return we, have received is SIS tCS whale the highest was S4O2.19 to the ton.
 T have seven claims in the group, each 1900 feet square. Most ot the prospecting has been done on the three central claims, the Dona- hue, the Mckay and the Murray. The best prospect shows the vein a little over three feet wide at a dept of fourteen feet. Good ore was on the other claims at from fifteen to eighteen feet, and good Outcrops were found elsewhere. I intend to resume work next month. The rock carries gold, which can be secured ny free milling process. The su- yer and lead can be gathreed in con centrates and shipped. We hope to make some big shipments this year.

MILLIONS OF
 SHELLS MADE

Lon|Nn English munttion fac tories are now turning out every AS hours more heavy gun ammunition than they manufactured in the en- tire frs year of the war and the production is increasing each week in preparation for the great offens- i've on the western front, which British military critics believe will come next spring.
 ''The improvement in our position may be illustrated in this way" re- marked an official of the ministry. eve are now manufacturing every week three times as many 155 mil imeter shells, five times as many 200 millimeter shells and three times as many 23O millieter shells as We manufactured during the whole first year of the war.
 "Of smaller shells, We are turn ing out in about a week the same quantity as was produced during the first year. Finally the number or shells of all kinds completed during tho last week exceeded by about 30 per cent the entire stock of muni- tions held in reserve at the out break of hostilities."
 Dealing with guns in the same way, it Is found that, representing the number of guns manufactured during the first year of war by 100, the number for the second year would be S41 and for the third year will be somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 1850. The manufacture Of lighter pieces has had to be slack ened recently, owing to the fact tha the equipment of the British army in light field pieces is approximate ly complete and it is only neces- sary to provide for replacements an' renewals.
 The improvements in the Han uIa' ture of machine gums, rifles, gren- ades and explosives has been equal ly satisfactory.
 Representing the total number o1 machine guns delivered to the army during the first year as 100, the to- i tai for the second year was l25t and for the third year will exceed 6OCQ.
 The production of trench mortar ammunition and grenades has been so much developed that any further increase scarcely seems necessary.
 The increase in the manufacture of explosives has been tremendous For every ton of explosive employ, ed in September, 1914, $50 tons were employed in July, 1915, and 12,OOG tons in July, 1916.

NEUTRAL SHIPS MAY BE SEIZED
 BY UNCLE SAM
Dutch and Other Craft in American Ports May Be Sent to
 Australia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. - Short age of ocean-going tonnage may now cause the United States to seize some 100000 tons of neutral shipping now in American ports. Dutch and oth- CT Scandinavian ships which are loaded with foodstuffs may be re- quired, it was said yesterday, to discharge their cargoes and go 10 Australia and Java for wheat and sugar.
 International law, officers point out, gives belligerents the right to commander neutral ships whenever the emergency of war requires it. Under this interpretation the Ameri- can government has just seized sey- eral Austrian ships which took ref uge in American points when the war broke out.
 Dutch ships of 100000 tonnage and other Scandinavian vessels of one third that tonnage have lain in American ports loaded with food stuffs ever since the export control act was put into operation. Thus far the owners of the cargoes have refused to unload them and the American government has declined to permit the vessels to leave.

 Two dozen bed sheets.
 Nine dozen pillow slips.
 Seven dozen hand towels.
 Two and a half dozen dish towels.
 One and one half dozen Turkish towels.
 Five bed spreads.
 Two dozen table napkins,
 Two dozen knitted wash towels.
 Four dozen sewed wash towels.
 One dozen water bottle covers.
 One knitted set, sweater, scarf and wristlets.
 Material for twenty knitted sets, similar to the last article named in the above list will be handed in later, was given out some days ago and the completed articles will be handed in soon.
 With the box of linen filled yes terday, the local Red Cross chapter now has four well filled boxes ready for forwarding to headquarters, the material in them representing an outlay of cash of upwards of $1,O0O to say nothing of the weeks of work consumption of midnight electrical juice and the further fact that "pan try" lunches have been the portion of many men on the Island while these various articles have been in process of preparation. And to the credit of the men it can be said that they bore their burdens with meekness and becoming fortitude.
