FALLS FROM WAGON;
law BONE BROKEN

Ed Cooper, about 10 years old and
son of Sanford Cooper, two miles
northeast of Dresden, came very near
losing his life Tuesday afternoon
when he was thrown from a wagon
load of baled hay. The young man
was run over by the wagon, one
wheel passing over his head and
neck and the other over his chest.
The wagon contained about 1900
pounds of hay.
The accident occurred near the
Henry Parrish farm, where young
Cooper and others had been baling
hay. A bale of hay fell from the
wagon on the mules, which took
fright, ran away and threw Cooper
from the wagon.
He was unconscious for several
hours and three physicians, Drs.
Mayo, Parish and Stephens-atten-
ded him. 1t was found that he had
broken jaw bone and two ribs were
broken loose from the back bone,
besides being otherwise considera-
bly, bruised up.

With the American Army in
France, March 5.-This has been a
quiet day in the American sector,
northwest of Toul. The artillery on
both sides seemed content to fire a
few desultory shots. The shells
were infrequent until late in the
afternoon, when the American ar
tillery hvened things up a Bit fir
ing on a town in the enemy lines
where troops had been seen.
Although the weather was bright
and clear for the first time in sew
eral days, a mist arose from the
snow and observation was obscured
by the ground haze. Aerial forces
took advantage of the improved
weather and operated freely. Groups
Of enemy planes came over for pho
Geographic work, but were kept high
in the air by the American anti-air-
craft guns. Planes from the Amer

TWO NARROWLY
ESCAPE DEATH.
Mr.. John Fuller and Miss lrma Underwood
hsGpitated Into Water Under Car.
Young Lady Painfully Injured.

AS is his custom, Mr.. John Fuller,
on last Sunday afternoon, loaded his
car with children and started out for
a drive, going to Union City. In
the car with Mr.. Fuller were Miss
es Irma Underwood, Matte Paylor
and Grace DeRossett. Returning,
Mr.. Fuller was driving pretty fast
across Mud creek levee, three miles
west of town. There was small
slippery place on the south side of
the levee, caused by water dripping
from the limb of tree on the side
of the levee. The water dripped
from the limb all day Sunday in
almost stream. Where it came
from no one seems to know, but it
was sufficient to make large slip
perry place on the levee. In endeav-
oring to avoid this Mr.. Fuller's car
skidded off the levee.
The car landed in big mud hole
to the north Of the levee, turning
completely over. The Derossett child
and the Taylor child were thrown
clear of the car, but Mr.. Fuller and
the Underwood girl, who were on
the front seat, fell in the mud with
the car on top of them. Mr.. Fuller
was completely submerged, but for
tunately, the mud was very deep
and very soft, and with the assist
ance of the other two little girls he
and Miss Underwood were able to
get out, otherwise they would have
drowned Mr.. Fuller says he swal-
lowed several gallons of the muddy
water, and he sustained slight cut
over the right eye. Miss Underwood
sustained fractured hip bone and
was otherwise more or less bruised.
A call came to town for help and
Herschel johnson made hurry run
to the scene Of accident, bringing. all
the occupants Of the Fuller car to
town.
The car driven by Mr.. Fuller, a
Saxon 6, was towed to town behind
the truck, and was found. to be only
slightly danaged-but very muddy,

1t was very narrow escape and
their friends congratulate these
young people that they escaped.

WEAKLEY CO. BOY
HOME FROM FRANCE
ThOs. Hendricks, near Dresden, Enlisted IN
1916. Went 10 France IN October.
Reached Home IN February.

There has been considerable mis-
givings as to the return Of our boys
from France, but one has already
returned home, having reached his
home near Dresden on Feb. 20.
This young man is Thomas Hen
bricks, whose father resides several
miles east of Dresden. Young Hen
bricks enlisted as a sailor in st. Louis
in 1915. He went into training and
during last October went to France
aboard vessel which was one Of a
flotilla conveying American ships
through the war zone. Hendricks
tells us he saw no submarines. He
says his vessel made frequent voy-
ages through the danger zone, but
never once encountered sub.
Hendricks was stricken with rheu-
matism and received an honorable
discharge from the service, leaving
France on Feb. 8, and reaching Am
erican soil about Feb. 20. He was
ten days making the trip.
This is the first Weakley county
boy to return from France, and when
in town Saturday Mr.. Hendricks was
the center of attraction. He answer
ed a thousand or more questions
fired at him, doing so good naturally
and intelligently,

RECORD BREAKING
CROWD MONDAY.
-W.S.S.

Possibly the largest first Monday
crowd ever seen IN Dresden was that
which came TO town last Monday,
the crowd being estimated at $500
people. All available hitching
ground was taken. and buggies and
wagons extended far down the side
streets on both sides.
There were several reasons for
the large crowd here last Monday.
In the first place, previous first Mon
days of this year were such bad days
that but few came to town; and
again, the first Monday in Febru-
airy was heatless day, which, doubt
less, kept many away. So this was
the first suitable day for people to
come to town. Many came to pay
their taxes, while a large number
came to sell and purchase mules.
Others, Of course, just came in to
swap nags, talk war, meet their old
friends and do some strading. All
the merchants report hourishing
trade on last Monday.
And this reminds US that the r1er-
chants of this town ought to put
forth a united effort TO sell more
goods than they now sell to these
first Monday crowds. Having the
crowd in town once q month is
decided advantage. Lets wake up,
gentlemen, and sell these good peo-
pie more than we have been selling
them.
There was considerable drinking
here last Monday and some drunk
enness-mueh more so than for
number Of months, indicating a grow
ing boldness upon the part of the
liquor dispenser and less fear Of the
law.

BRO. ETHERIDCE
GOES TOLATHAM

To the regret of every citizen of
Dresden announcement is made that
Dresden is to lose one of her most
highly esteemed citizens, Elder W.
F. Etheridge, who goes to Latham,
where he has purchased large saw
mill, which he will manage.
For some time Mr.. Etheridge has
been suffering from a nervous trou-
BILE, and, while we do say so author
atatively, no doubt the change is
made with the hope that more out
door exercise will prove beneficial.
His legion of Dresden friends hope
so, at least.
No minister ever lived in Ores
den that was more universally loved
than Will Etheridge. He has en-
tered heart and soul into every good
move for the towns welfare. In
nothing has he been found narrow
or warped. He heartily Endorsed
the plan of all three churches wor-
Shipping together during the bad
weather. When there has been sick
ness or distress he has been one of
the first to go. When it was re-
ported last week that there was a
family in distress here, Brother
was the first man there.
He took in the situation and imme-
diately set about to relieve it. The
boy who week ago was thought to
be dying is today able to sit up.
And so it has been with all good NOV
es since he came here. We deeply
deplore his removal and trust it is
to be but temporary.

BOYS AND GIRLS
PIG CLUBS MEET.

The boys and girls pig club COM
mittee for the vicinity of Martin
met at the Martin Bank last Sat
urday and formulated plans for con-
Quoting the pig club work for the
season. 1t was decided to interest
every boy and girl between the ages
of eight and 20 in the club work.
Each member is to provide himself
with pig weighing from 40 to 80
pounds by a certain date, to be set
later. On the day the contest is to
start, each member will bring his
pig to town, have it weighed in the
presence, of the committee, and
tagged. A record book will be fur
nished each member in which to
record the weight and to keepan ac-
count of all food consumed during
the contest. It was decided to end
the contest on the day of he corn
club show this fall, when all pigs
will be brought in and weighed again
on the same scales and premiums
awarded on the best record made as
shown by the record book. A num-
Der of vaccinated pigs of good breed
ing will be collected to be sold at
cost to members who are not able
to get desirable pigs. Also arrange
ments are being made to finance all
boys and girls who wish assistance
along this line. Saturday, March
16, has been set aside for a meeting
of all boys, girls and parents who
wish to get in the contest. Atten-
ton is also called to the article on
growing pasture crops for pigs, and
it would be well to start plans for
raising these crops in order to feed
cheaply.

Nc campaign carried on for raising
war funds in Louisiana has exceeded
in Importance the present warsaw
ings drive, and the state has huge
responsibility in the task of securing
loans amounting to S37 900, 600 to
help carry on the war. In the Liber-
ty Loan campaign subscriptions for
as much as S250,000 were received
from single corporations or indi-
viduals. In this drive no one may
buy more than $1,000 worth of
stamps, for himself and each individ-
ual in his family. Therefore to Sc
cure the s37, 100000 called for, an
equally larger proportion of persons
must buy the stamps. So that the
number Of persons buying should in
clude every man, woman and child
up to the limit of their ability. This
is a great war. Must not everyone
do something in the fight?
