MR.. JONES MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT

The formal announcement of
Judge Joseph E. Jones for the
democratic nomination for re-
election to the position he now
holds appears in today's En-
terprise.
Judge Jones is asking an en-
dorsement' as has been the
democratic custom in this state
since time immemorial. He is
filling his first term, to which
he was elected by the sovereign
voters of the Fourteenth Judi
cial Circuit, composed of Ben
tho, Weakley Obion, Lake and
Dyer counties. He was ap-
pointed to fill out an unexpir-
ed term at the resignation of
Judge R. E. Maiden.
Judge Jones is one of the
most universally popular men
in public life in Tennessee to-
day. He has always stood
upon the moral side of every
question confronting his peo-
pie. He has been faithful in
the discharge of his official
duties. He has nobly, brave
ly and courageously upheld
the majesty of the law. In
fact, Judge Jones has made
the strict enforcement of the
law his hobby, if a hobby he
has ever had at all.
The Enterprise recommends
his claims to its readers.

ARTICLELAST WEEK

Mr.. Lester McCaleb informs
the Enterprise that some of his
friends over the county have
misconstrued an article appear
ing in the Enterprise last week
relative to young Atkins arrest
at Paris with a quantity of
liquor in his possession. The
idea seems to prevail among
some who evidently did not
read the article carefully, that
McCaleb sent Atkins to Padu-
cab for the liquor. This is
erroneous. There was nothing
like it in the Enterprise. Nc
Caleb had nothing whatever to
do with Mr.. Atkins pilgrimage
to Paducah. He went there
for friends in and around
Gleason. McCaleb is a clean,
honorable gentleman and,
would not send off for liquor
under existing circumstances.

WILL RUN SPECIAL
STRAWBERRY TRAIN
Inauguration Of Special Schedule on n. &C.
to Accommodate Berry Growers. New Ar
TengGmGDS Entirely Satisfactory.

Mr.. E. o. Dennedy, travelling
freight agent of the N, & st. L.
railroad, was here last Monday and
informed Messrs. Miller and Roffe,
representatives of the Dresden Ber-
ry Growers association, that his COM
pany had agreed at conference
of railroad officials held in Nash
vile after his visit to Dresden some
weeks ago, to inaugurate a new
schedule which will take care Of
the berry shipments out of Dres-
den and Gleason. Mr.. Dennedy gave
us the new schedule, which is as fol-
lows:
Wstbound: Leaves Mckenzie at
9:O5 p. M, Gleason, $3.50 p. M;
Dresden, 9:55 p. M; arriving at
Martin at 1915 pm. in time to con-
meet with the l. C. fruit special for
st. Louis, Chicago and northern
points.
East-bound: Leaves Martin at 9
p. M: Dresden, $780,; Gleason, 10
p. m. arriving at Mckenzie at 1920
p. m. in time to connect with the L.
& N. fruit special for Louisville, Gin
cinnati and all eastern points.
Messrs. Miller and Roffe both in
from the Enterprise this new ar
rangement is entirely satisfactory to
the association and will enable the
Dresden and Gleason growers to
compete with those of any other
section. 1t means that our berries
will get into the markets along with
those from Humboldt, Sharon and
all other points h this section. The
inauguration of this new special
service will serve to encourage our
people in the berry industry and they
will no doubt put in a greatly in
creased acreage this season.
Reports we have at this time are
that the outlook for a big crop of
fine berries is most encouraging,

WINDSTORM DOES
DAMAGE TO BARNS

The windstorm of last Mon
day night did some damage
in the vicinity west and south
west of Martin. A very large
and fine barn on the farm of
Mrs. Bob Penn was all but
wrecked, being moved twelve
feet off the foundation and
badly damaged. Some cat
tie were caught in the wreck
age, but none seriously injur-
ed. Mrs. PENIS loss is COW
cred by insurance.
A chicken coop at Esq. Mart
billiards, near Mt. Pelia, was
blown down and totally wreck
ed. Other barns and small
buildings in the vicinity were
more or less damaged by the
high wind, which was accom-
panied by considerable light
ming and rain.

jim Bell, a negro who has
been with Mr.. and Mrs. T. I.
Little for a number of years,
was arrested on the street in
Dresden Sunday afternoon for
disorderly conduct and upon

This is the first case in Dres-
den to come under the bone-dry
law, and ought to be a warn
ing to all others who may con-
template bringing whiskey in
to this community. All suspi-
cious persons and packages
ought to be Investigated.

force is yet sufficiently schooled
in it's handling to set the en-

amount of reading matter the

consequently for the next sew
eral weeks a good deal of the
matter will be set by hand.
However, we cordially invite
our friends to call and see the
machine in operation-but do
not disturb the operator.
This machine puts the En-
terprise right in the foreranks

printing. We hope you will
give us your printing.

wife of Uncle Sim Smith, died
last Monday at the family resi-
dence, near Pisgah, several
miles north of Dresden. Mrs.
Smith was in her eighty-first
year. She had been a }oyal
member of the Pisgah N. e.
church since early life. She
was a noble, good woman dear
ly loved by all who knew her.
She left no children, but had
been mother to her step chill
dren, who loved her as their
own mother.
The body was inferred at the
Pisgah burying ground, services

lonely, aged, sorrowing hus-
band the Enterprise extends
sincere sympathy.

THIS
YOUNG FARMER

In another column the En-
terprise prints an account of
Robert Vincent's misfortune,
the burning of his barn and
loss of all his stock, feed, farm
ing tools, etc. Robert is a de-
serving young farmer. He had
just started out in life, and
was making heroic effort to
make u honest living for his
young wife. He had just pur-
chased a horse, giving his note
for the payment Of the animal.
He planned to produce a big
crop this summer by working
early and late and by work.
ing hard, and pay for the horse
and his other debts. But alas!
All he possessed was destroyed
by fire in a single night. He
was stripped of all his earth
ly possession.
Robert Vincent is a deserv-
ing, ambitious, energetic young
farmer. He is, as he ought to
be, proud of being a farmer
the noblest calling of them
all But he is disheartened.
He is discouraged. He feels
like the hand oof fate is
against him. He feels the
need of friendship as you
and l, perhaps, never felt it.
We must come to his relief.
God has prospered us all. We
got big prices for our tobac-
CO, big prices for the cotton,
record prices for our hogs and
cattle. God Almighty intend
ed this money should be used
in the right way. You could
not put some of it to a better
purpose than by helping this
young farmer. The Enterprise
is going to ask those who feel
disposed to send this paper a
contribution for Robert Vim

deposited in the bank to his
credit, and the name of ev-
cry contributor will be pub
lished and the amount con-

LOSESHORSES,
COW AND HOGS

Mr.. Robert Vinson, residing
three miles north of town, lost
his stock barn, two nice young
horses, his COW, several hogs,
buggy, farming tools, hay and
corn on Monday night, when
his stock barn was fired by
lightning.

from the northeast, bringing
a terrific electrical storm, ac-
companied by some wind and
considerable rain. When neigh
bors reached the burning barn
the loft had fallen in upon the
stock and they were unable to
determine whether the stock
had been killed by the bolt of
lightning or had been smother
ed by the load of hay falling
upon them and the smoke.
There were no signs of life
when these neighbors reached
the barn.
Mr.. WILSON'S loss is a heavy
one, practically stripping him
of all his earthly possessions.
and his loss is a heavy one.
He is a young man just starting
out in life. He had just pur-
chaed one of the horses, giving
his note for the payment. His
friends deeply deplore his sad
misfortune.

WILL BE READY
TODECLARE WAR

Washington, March 81
Upon the events of the next
few days will depend the rec
concentrations which President
Wilson will make to the war
congress which convenes in ex-
traordinary session here next
Monday. After the president
had thrashed over the interna-
tional situation with his cabinet
and with Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, ranking democrat of
the senate foreign relations
committee it was stated tonight
that the president still has an
"open mind" as to the exact
course to be followed. He re-
ceived all of the suggestions his
advisers would offer, but he
did not commit himself as to
what legislative proposals he
would favor. The president
likewise discussed with the cab
met the preparedness activities
of the various executive depart
ments and the plans for mob
Iilizing all of the resources of
the nation for war purposes.
Tonight it was plain that the
momentous message which the
president is expected to deliver
to the new congress one week
from today will not be prepar-
ed until just before it is deliv-
cred. The president will frame
hishistory-making address with
the full record before him and
after full discussion with all of
his advisers.
In the meantime congression-
al leaders will form tentative
plans to act promptly and eff
fectively along any line the
president may suggest. Chair
man Flood and democratic
members Of The foreign affairs
ommittee today began the pre-
parations of tentative resolu-
lions to meet any suggested &C.
ton. These included a meas
ure specifically declaring the
existence of a state of war and
placing the resources of the
government behind the presi-
dent to meet the situation and
a resolution indorsing the pres
ident's armed neutrality pro-
gram and providing for COM
plete preparedness.
The first of these resolutions
is least likely to be proposed.
Both the administration and
congressional leaders believe
that responsibility for the de-
claration Of war should be
placed on Germany. Either of
the other two resolutions, how
ever, would make plain the ma
TONS determination to protect
it's rights and would be accom-
panied by legislation placing
adequate financial and military
power behind the president.

Night School Echoes

Night School Principal Carman said
Tuesday the reason many night
schools are failures is because not
enough attention is given to short
unit courses In Industrial and Home
making work.
Many housewives and persons inter
ested In the work are unable to at
tend the school for the forty nights
but II courses are formed of two or
three weeks duration much more
benefit is derived.
The plan will be adopted at the
night school this year and from time
to time unit classes will be formed In
any line suggested by the registrants.
Agricultural units in charge OF City
Gardener Murphy are to be features
OF the night school within the next
few days.
The line. Of study to be pursued in
the practical nursing class includes
technical terms, anatomy, sanitation
and use of disinfectants, hygiene, sur
gical cleanliness, bathing, alcohol rubs
emergency measures, dietetics, gen.
eral housew ork and cooking.
