NOBLE WOMAN IS
GATHERED HOME

Dresden friends were shocked on
last Friday morning to learn of the
sudden and unexpected death of Mrs.
R. L. Jackson at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Tom Boden, at Bono,
Ark, where Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson
had gone just few weeks ago to
spend the winter Mrs. Jackson had
not been well for the past several
years, but her condition was not con-
sidered critical and friends at home
were shocked when apprised Of her
death.
Alabama Elizabeth Reavis was
born April Is, 1874, and died Nov.
so, 1917; age 70 years. On Dec. 81,
1865, she was married to R. L. Jack
son, and to this union four children
were born, three Of whom survive
her. She united with the Christian
church when quite young and lived
faithful christian until death. Mrs.
Jackson was a loving and devoted
wife and mother, a true friend and
ministering angel to the sick when
in robust health. She was one of
those dear, good mothers whom to
know was to love, and to the lonely,
heart broken husband the ENTERPRISE
extends sympathy.
The remains reached Dresden Fri
day midnight and were carried to the
Jackson home, from which funeral
services were conducted on Saturday
afternoon by Brother Will Etheridge,
followed by iuterment at the Ores
den cemetery. The bereaved chill
dren have the sympathy of their
friends.

journ court from Monday evening
until Friday morning.

DISTRICT
CORNCLUB SHOW

Considerable interest was mani
Tested in the Seventh District Corn
Club show in Mr.. Ellis office on last
Saturday. This club was worked up
and fostered by Mr.. Matt House,
whose sole aim was to create an in
terest among our young farmers in
better farming. Mr. House secured
the premiums himself, to the amount
Of $32 in cash and nice, thorough
bred Duroc gilt, but the number of
boys competing for the prizes is
bit Disappointing, only five having
ten-ear exhibits here Saturday.
The premiums were awarded ac-
cording to the regular corn club
rules, but the Enterprise has been
unable to get the premium winners.
However, there were some excellent
specimens of corn shown and the
yields were encouraging.

GOES
FOR FRANK HALL.
Wsahky County Delegation to State Con-
wBtuH lhHEtGted, Except as to
nudge Frank ?. Hall

The democratic mass convention,
held at the courthouse last Monday,
sends a delegation of democrats to
Nashville on next Wednesday in
structed to cast the vote Of Weakley
county for Judge Frank P. Hall for
place on the supreme bench first,
last and all the time. Otherwise the
delegation goes uninstructed, except
to vote as unit upon all questions
coming before the convention.
Hon. Tom Jeter was made chair
man and Hon. Geo Rowlett secre-
tary Of the convention. After the
adoption Of the resolution, Judge
Hall was invited to address the con-
vention, which he did in nice little
talk, thanking his friends for the
honor conferred.
From reports of Mondays con.
ventions throughout the state il
looks like Judge Hall is a winner fol
the democratic nomination for SUI
preme judge. He has a total of SIC
instructed votes, while his COMPETE
tor, Judge Barton, of Memphis, has
only EOS instructed votes. Besides
the instructed votes, Judge Han as
sures us he has sufficient uninstruc
ted votes to make him the nominee
in Wednesdays convention on frs
ballot, The number required to nom
mate is 1877.
Weakley county will send strong
Hall delegation to the Nashville con
vention on Wednesday.

their bowls, dipped in and helped
themselves. An interesting program
was rendered and the day hugely
enjoyed.

Physician aid Psbfe BsOsfsstG, Dies
Al saalk Of Blood Poison

No greater soETow has befallen
Sharon and vicinity than that occa-
stoned by the death Of On. ]. E. Shan
non, eminent physician, popular man
and public henafactor.
Or. Shannon died last Saturday
evening at 3 o'clock in a Nashville
sanitariuno, where he had been car
ried ON Thursday afternoon in an
unconscious condition suffering from
blood poison. Some days previous
he scratched a small place on his
hand with q wire, and later, while
removing young lady's tonsils, the
small wound is thought to have be-
come infected, resulting in blood poi
son. He was rushed to Nashville,
where the best physicians did all
within their power TO save him, but
without avail.
The remains reached Sharon Sun
day morning over the ], c., via Milan
and were conveyed to the Shannon
home. Funeral services were held
from the Methodist church in Shs-
ron on Monday morning, conducted
by Rev. W. P, Prichard, assisted by
Rev. A. G. Moore, of Murray, KY,
and Rev. u. H Jackson, Of Sharon,
and Rev. III. 3. Terry, of Martin.
In nice little talk, Prof. Haskle, of
Gibson county, paid the memory of
the deceased splendid tribute. Fol
lowing this impressive service the
Masons carried out the rituaistic
ceremonies OF the order The floral
offerings were many and beautiful,
eight small boys acting as flower
bearers. Many friends and admir-
ers from Dresden, Martin and Green
field, and from Gibson county atten-
ded the funeral and interment.
DR.. Shannon is survived by his
companion, one brother, Mr., t. J.
Shannon. and one sister, Miss Carrie
Shannon, to all Of whom the pro
found sympathy Of very large host
of friends is extended in their great
sorrow.
DR.. Shannon was more than mere
citizen-he was public benefac-
tor. During the past several years
he had spent a great deal Of his time
doing public work for the good of
the community. He was an enthu-
siastic good roads advocate, and, be
it said to his credit, it was mainly
due to his untiring and ceaseless eff
forts that the great Burlington High
way was completed through this
county. This magnificent national
highway is q monument to him that
will endure as long as time lasts
DR.. Shannon was imbued with a love
of humanity his philanthropy was
widespread, and he was deeply in
terested in every good work. He was
noble example Of a christian gem
tleman. He died as he had lived for
the past 80 years in the harness" "
He worked ap to few days before
his death.
But DIR. Shannon preached his own
funeral. No eulogy that might here
be paid him could add to his popu-
larity, but the Enterprise feels it a
public duty to say that DR.. Shannon
was an ideal citizsn--a noble, good
man. And Sharon and community
will keenly feel the loss Of this man.
Peace to his ashes
