OPENING OF THE
DRESDEN SCHOOL

A large number Of the patrons
and interested citizens assembled at
the school building on last Monday
morning and participated in the
opening of what promises to be the
greatest school in the history of
Dresden.
Appropriate and enthusiastic talks
were made by Mr.. Finch, Mr.. Ellis,
Mr.. Lewis and Mrs. Garrett and each
member of the faculty had something
of interest to say regarding the COM
ing years work.
The work done here in the past by
Mr.. Finch and his co-workers is deep
ly appreciated by all our people who
are standing squarely behind him in
his efforts this year. He is an able
school man-just the kind Of man
we need for Dresden, and, with the
assistance of so able faculty, Dres-
den may reasonably hope for the
most fruitful term this, year in the
entire history Of Dresden.

BLACK LEG RAGING
AMONG CATTLE.

Backlog has been raging among
cattle in the McClain Chapel settle
ment, four miles northwest of Ores
den, and several farmers have lost
cattle from the ravages of the dis
ease.
Messrs. jim McClain and Jim Tay-
Tor lost a COW each during the past
week, and DR.. Terrell, Dresden's
skilled veterinarian, was called to
that community on Tuesday, vacci-
mating large number.
Every precaution is being taken
and the law complied with as to the
disposition Of the carcasses, to pre-
vent a further spread, but vacci-
nation is the wise course to pursue.
At the prevailing price Of beef cat
tie and the alarming shortage, we
cannot afford to lose a single head.

DRESDEN, wEAKLEY COUNTY, TENNESSEE AUGUSTA 1877
PROF. MORGAN
VISIT DRESDEN

Prof. Morgan Of the University Of
Tennessee, will visit Dresden, by
special invitation, on next Monday,
delivering an address at the court
house at 2 o'clock to the Weakley
county stock breeders, all Of whom
are urged to be present and hear
this able man.
Our government is placing special
emphasis on stock breeding at this
time, in view of the alarming short
age in beef cattle, and it behooves
all farmers and others in a position
to do so to increase the production
of beef cattle, and this is the prima-
ry object of Mr.. Morgan's visit here
on next Monday.
Weakley county ought to become
a leading cattle community. Land
here is cheap; there is plenty of it
not in cultivation and more of it be-
ing reclaimed through drainage and
washed lands, and the time is now
ripe to enter enthusiastically in this
industry.

PARIS ROAD BE-
ING IMPROVED.

The Paris road, leading out east
from Dresden, is being wonderfully
improved by both the citizens and
road officials, and arrangements are
being made for contracting for drag
ging this road, using some of the
automobile tax money for that pur-
pose, provided citizens put the road
in the specified condition to get their
part of this special tax. The law
provides that this money be used
for maintenance exclusively, and
further that the road be put in a
maintaining coalition before one cent
of the auto tax money be used.
Gleason citizens are bending ev-
cry energy toward a good road con-
Meeting Dresden and Gleason, having
put the east end of this road, from
the river to Gleason, in fair shape,
but it is understood that nothing
has been done on the Dresden end.
1t does seem that those who use this
road almost daily could find time to
stir up some interest in it's improve
ment so as to get its share of the au-
tomobile tax money for dragging
If this cannot be done
then we suggest the route be estab-
lished by way of Northcutt's levee,
what is called the south route to Glea-
son. Time will come when this
route will be graveled all the way
from Nashville to Reelfoot lake and
which ever route is established will
receive the gravel at no expense to
the tax payers.

STROLL ENDSAT ~.
POLICE STATION.

L. A. Demming, town Marshal of
Greenfield, Tenn, was in Memphis
last night and while strolling along
Main street, near Linden avenue, he
met Howard MCGOWAN, young man
with whom he was acquainted. Hail
ing MCGOWAN, Demming began to
chat with him.
"I'm stranger in the city," Dem
ming remarked. "Do you know the
way to the station house?"
McGowing answered in the affir-
NATIVE and volunteered to show
Demming how to reach police head
quarters. On arriving at the sta
ton house, Demming asked his COM
panion to enter, as he had little
business to transact, requiring about
five minutes.
In front Of Desk Sergt. Hume's
office Demming drew from his pock-
ct warrant charging MCGOWAN with
larceny and placed him under ar
rest. The cops admitted that the
marshal had shown them ga thing or
two" when it came to diplomatic po-
icing.-Commercial Appeal.

PLANS CHANGED
Changing Of Plans Of Entertaining Soldier
Boys Makes it NscesssytO Alter Plans
Of Local Committee.

AS will be seen from letter from
Gov. Rye, published elsewhere in
today's Enterprise, it becomes nee
essary to change the entertainment
plans of the Weakley county COM
mittee.
1t had been previously arranged
to entrain the soldiers here in groups
of about 100 each, and the citizens of
Weakley county, desiring to show the
boys how truly their hearts are with
them, planned to tender each group
a rousing reception in Dresden on
the evening previous to their &C.
parture by giving a big barbecue.
But necessarily this has been changed
since the new plan of the war de-
partment is to send the first contin-
gent from here in threes.
However, Chairman Suddath of
the local board, will call the first
IA to assemble here on Sept. 4, ard
on the evening of that date ban
quet will be given this fourteen at
the Hotel Bowers. Judge R. E. Mai
den will officiate as POSTMASTER and
young ladies of the town will render
music on the violin and piano and
Victrola at the hotel. Mr.. McCuan
will throw open the doors of the Kozy
to the boys and they will see one of
the best moving picture shows in the
state.
The second and third groups will
be entertained in an appropriate
manner, plans for which viii be ar
ranged as soon as it is definitely
known how they will assemble here.
1t is part of the program to have
a photo made of each soldier boy,
and a competent photographer has
been engaged for that purpose, and
this photo will be filed with rec
ord of each boy, the record book of
1000 pages already having hsen Sc
cured. Each boy leaving will be
asked to 'ns:r'Jo his rame in the
book.
Mr.. Elkins, chairman of tue fl
nance committee, reports liberal
contribution from all parts of the
county. At Greenfield. for instance,
the sum asked for that community
was contributed at public meet
ing in less than Is minutes time.
Other communities have been just as
liberal.

Mrs. Miles Music Teacher.

Mrs. Shelah Miles has been chosen
music teacher at the Dresden High
School, and will give lessons in the
music room at the school building.
Mrs. Miles will perhaps give lessons
in both methods, that is, the common
method and the famous Copp meth
cd, which the Enterprise mentioned
some months ago. This method is
for beginners and does in year what
the old method requires several years
to accomplish. 1t is the original idea
of Boston lady, under whom Mrs.
Miles studied last year. y
Mrs. Miles is a thoroughly compe-
tent director in music and those who
patronize her in either method may.
be assured of conscientious work.

eight months is planned for. Assist
ing Prof. Denton are Misses Hettie
Exum, Maude Gardner, Delorus Sum-
mers, Mrs. Ollie Cross and Miss Wv
ian ALLEN, the latter music teacher.
Prof. Denton is an experienced,
practical school man and thoroughly
modern and wide-awake.

Sweethearts' Clubs.

During the past week Sweethearts'
Clubs have been organized at Green
field, Martin, Sharon and Gleason,
patriotic young ladies of Dresden
taking the initiative. At each point
they were met by a band of enthu-
siastic young ladies who are ready to
do their bit in the great world war
by sending letters, cards and little
remindersto the Weakley county boys
in the trenches, this being the pri-
mary object of the organization.
These clubs will assist in all work of
making garments for the soldier boys.
1t is grand, noble, patriotic organ
ization and every young lady should
lend it her influence.

FOURTH CALL IS
BEING MADE TODAY
Local Board Certified 232 TO District Board
zoo Called Tor Monday and Tuesday
Of Next Week,

Up to Tuesday night the Weak
ley County Exemption Board had
certified the names Of 232 men to
the district board as having been ac-
copied for army service by this board.
A large number Of these, of course,
have taken appeals on occupational,
dependency and other grounds.
OF the last call for SO men, exam
ined on Thursday Of last week, there
were twenty who claimed no exemp-
ton and were accepted by the local
board. The board has yet some 20
records to go over before the list is
entirely complete, these claiming ex-
emptions on various grounds, and
when the list is finished the number
certified to the district board will
doubtless be increased.
Today the local board makes call
for 200 men to appear here for ex-
animation on next Monday and Tues
day. Possibly 1875 would have filled
Weakley county's quota Of 275 men,
but the board will hold the overplus
in reserve, and no man will be re-
quired to enter the army until his
time comes down the list.
The following 20 are among those
examined in the last call, these claim
ing no exemption:
Bryan McClain, Pierce Mcdaniel,
Newman Gardner, Burton Campbell,
Silas Owenby, Charley Melton, Ho-
mer Lakewood, James Dunlap, Har-
mon Hall, Lewis Oliver, Thos. Carl
ton, Henderson Whitson, Utah Coop
er, Willie Partee, Chas. Potts, VIM.
Griffin, John Tuck, Thos. Patterson,
Tommie Thomas, Everett Carter.
The names below are certified to
the district board, all claiming ex-
emption, except Earl Irvine, colored.
This negro is alleged to have stolen
his papers from the headquarters of
the local board, but when threatened
with arrest by Mr.. Mitchell, member
of the board, he brought the exami-
nation papers in and was included in
the draft without claiming exemp-
ton. Following are the names of
those certified:
Irvion Vaughan, Thos. Lackey,
Isaac Watts, Ethelbert Mayo, Earl
Irvine, A. V. Crutchfield, Thomas
Montgomery, Jesse Jones, Thomas
Lacewell, Fred Parrish, Aubrey Pres
ton, John Holder, John Wilson, Flag
Drewry, John w. Lewis, Gilbert Mel
ton, Lewis AGREE, Hardy Bomar, Ru-
fus Loveall, Ben Bynum.
In the above the name of Thomas
Lacewell appears. In his first ex-
emption claims Lacewell stated he
was married this summer, and was
accepted, his claim for exemption
being overruled, but since then he has
filed an appeal with the district board
claiming error in giving date of mar
riage and showing that his marriage
was more than year ago. Had he
recited the correct date when claim
ing exemption before the local board |
he doubtless would have been ex-
empted by this board, but now he
must go before the district board.
The supply of discharge buttons
supplied the local board by the gov
eminent was soon exhausted, also the
discharge blanks, but Chairman Sud-
oath states that if new supply is
received all who are entitled to them
can get them by calling upon the
board in person. However, they
count for naught.

CHANGE MADE IN
MOVING DRAFT MEN
Only Five Per Cent Of the Drafted Men
VIII Be Sent 70 Training Camp
on September 5.

Owing to the very heavy amount
of travel by government troops it has
been necessary to change the original
plans for the movement of men Sc
lected in the draft.
Instead of 80 per cent of the
states quota, only 5 per cent will be
moved from Tennessee to Camp Cor
don at Atlanta, Sept. 5.
These men will travel on regular
trains and will be followed by other
drafted men as soon as transporta-
ton is adequate.
Chairman Smith, of the state coun-
Gil, Monday sent the following notice
to the local and district exemption
boards about the change in the plans:
District and Local Boards-The
congestion Of traffic that will be en-
tailed in the early part Of September
by the movement of the national
guard into the training camps makes
it inadvisable to attempt to move any
large percentage of the national
army on Sept. 5. For this reason
the war department has communi-
Gated the following schedule of move
ments of the national army to the
provost marshal-general:
Give per cent of the quota of each
state, beginning Sept. S, 40 per cent,
beginning Sept 10, 40 per cent,
beginning Oct. 8, the remaining Is
per cent as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable. 8
"The object of calling per cent
is to place in the camps enough men
to form skeleton organization to
assist in receiving and assimilating
the large contingents. For this rea-
son it is required that the local
boards are required to send only
white men and so far as practicable,
that they send men with some militia
ry experience or cooks. In making
this selection order numbers are not
controlling, but great care must be
taken not to send men whose order
Of call is so late that they will not
be within the quota of the boards.
The careful selection of these men
will be of great assistance to the or
derby organization of the national
army, and it is hoped that local
boards will act with this end in
view.
each board in Tennessee will
nave available at least 5 per cent Of
is quota by Sept 5. In order that
t may not be necessary to make any
special railway arrangements and to
congestion of traffic local
boards are instructed to send APP
oroximately / per cent of its quota
IN each of five successive days, be-
ginning Sept. 5.
"Since no special traffic arrange
nents are necessary for the move
nent of this small quota, beginning
Sept 5, local boards will route their
men by the shortest usually trav-
led route to the mobilization camp
hown in the distribution sheets al
eady furnished local boards.
"The movement on Sept. 10 will
re governed by mobilization regula-
ions. Full information will be sent
GU later.
Study we'll the work you are I'M
ertaking, and if any emergency
rises necessitating fuller informa-
ion, wire this office.-Tom C. Rye.
Governor.
