ABLE D|SCOURSES ARE ATTRACT
ING VERY LARGE AUDIENCES.
THE LADIES HELP
UNLOAD TOBACCO

Tobacco growers delivering tobac-
co to Dresden this week have been
very generous with their donations
to the Red Cross ladies, who have
been stationed at the barns daily
to receive donations from the gen.
erous growers. On Tuesday about
$50 worth of tobacco was given by
the growers to the Red Cross. This
tobacco will be priced by Messrs.
McCuan and Ezell free of charge,
sold and the proceeds turned over
to the Red Cross to purchase and
make garments needed by our boys
in the trenches. There is a great
cry for bandages, bed garments, ETC.,
for the wounded American soldiers
The cry must not go UNDECIDED.
Besides receiving the tobacco, the
good ladies have lent helping hand
in unloading the wagons. They have
carried tobacco from the wagons at
the doors to the truck all day long,
never firing, never ceasing.

$500 WORTH OF
MEAT IS STOLEN

Recently there was an epidemic
of meat stealing in the western por-
ton of the county, but the base OF
operations seems to have been trans
ferred to the east section, as one
night last week a thief or thieves
entered the smokehouse of Coat
Maddox, near Ore Springs, and got
meat valued at about 5000.
This meat belonged to Milt Webb
and Mr.. Maddox. Mr.. Webb's smoke
house was blown down last year and
he was keeping his meat with Mad
dox. On this night cloud came up
and the Maddox family all went over
to Mr.. Webb's to be convenient to
a storm house, and while in the storm
cellar some one went to Maddox and
got all the meat, except one side
and small ham.
A number of houses were searched,
but no meat suiting the description
of that stolen was found.

$3.50 FOR CRATE
OF STRAWBERRIES

DR.. B. T. Bondurant received re-
turns on Monday for a crate of ber-
ries shipped by him on Saturday,
receiving the sum of $3.50 for the
crate containing "a quarts. This is
about Sc cents per quart. Others
in the vicinity who have received
returns are getting the best prices in
the history of the berry industry.
The yield outlook is very discour-
aging. Many claim there will not
be over one-third of a crop. Hands
are scarce and it would be doubtful
if full crop could be taken care of
at this time. Growers are paying 8
cents a quart to pickers.
Heretofore Sharon has loaded as
high as ! 5 cars on the best days, but
it is extremely doubtful if four cars
are loaded any day this season.

HUNSSTAGGEREDBY
BLOWS IN FLANDERS
Possession Of KENNEL Hill Has Not Permitted
the Enemy 10 EncTOaCh on the
Allied Lines.

With the American Army in Elan
ders, May Stunned by the severe
punishment inflicted by the British
and French, the Germans in Elan
ders have given up for the moment
their attempts to gain further hill
positions west of Mt. KENNEL. In
the meanwhile it is presumed that
Gen. Won Arnim is reforming his
battered forces and bringing up new
reserves to hurl against the granite
like defense.
German occupation of Mt. KEN
mel, although a strategical loss, has
not enabled the enemy to encroach
further into the British and French
positions southwest of Ypres, nor
has it apparently brought any nearer
the evacuation of the flattened Ypres
salient. After the intense fighting
of Monday, in which the Germans
strove desperately to enlarge their
gains on the high ground north of
the Lys, there has been only local
fighting
Apparently the allied command
ers are content to hold onto their
present line and to let the Germans
make more attacks in an endeavor
to drive them back. In their disas-
trous repulse, the Germans not only
failed to gain, although using larger
forces than the defenders, but they
were driven from some positions they
had held since the capture of Mt.
KENNEL last week.
Along the Flanders front and in
Picardy, strong artillery lombard
ments continue. The Germans have
been throwing great numbers of
shells into the French positions
around, south of the Somme, proba-
bly, in preparation for still another
attempt to drive the French back to
the Avre. A German attack in the
Noyon sector brought the enemy
into French positions, from which,
however, they were thrown out in
spirited fighting.

WEAKLEY COUNTY
GOING OVER TOP
Third Liberty Loan Meeting With a Liberal
Response. Much Credit is Due
County Sales Director.

Much credit is due the county
sales director, Cashier R. L. Goolsby,
of Greenfield, for the splendid show
ing Weakley county has made in the
third Liberty Loan campaign. The
county's quota was placed at $685.
900, but the amount subscribed will
be far and away above that figure.
This is due to the splendid organiza-
ton perfected by Goolsby through
out the county. Mr.. Goolsby was not
satisfied merely with appointing dis
trict and town salesmen-he went
to see them in person, wrote them
letters with pep in them and called
them over the telephone. Of course
the other gentlemen connected with
the county organization contributed
their energies, all of which has
counted. 1t is the earnest desire of
the organization that special efforts
be put forward tomorrow Saturday
by all district and town statesmen,
especially in those districts where
little work has been done.

Saturday night:

present. The indications are for
great outpouring of the spirit and a

POOL WEAKENING
Large Deliveries Of Leaf Tobacco. IObG-
Co Plants Scarce end Reduced
Acreage the Outlook.

Tobacco has been on the move
from all directions this week, some
coming to Dresden and some to Mar
tin. Both the local handlers, F. G.
Ezell and w. A. McCuan, have had
all they could handle up to Wednes-
day night. Both yards were full OF
wagons on Monday and Tuesday and
many loads came in Wednesday.
However, all got unloaded and home
by night, though some of them late.
The prices paid are around IA
cents, growers inform us. It is re-
ported to us by farmers that a great
deal of the pooled tobacco has been
sold at the prevailing prices, one
farmer telling us that nearly all Of
the Ralston pool had been sold.
There is still a general complaint
of scarcity of tobacco plants. Many
beds were re-sown and it is expected
these will produce sufficient plants
in time to set by June l, which is
ample time, many growers claim.
Others say they expect to put their
tobacco lara to food and feed crops,
and the present outlook is for a re-
duced crop this year.
Below we give what comes from
the Paducah and GAINESVILLE markets:
Paducah, KY, April 29.-The
weather the past week was more ia
vorable for the movement of loose
tobacco than at any time this sea-
son, consequently the deliveries were
heavy. The tobacco was in better
order than it has been and this con-
dition is expected until the season
terminates. The market was very
active on the loose leaf floors and
on the street market, but slow at the
barns in the country. Prices showed
a little decline on the medium and
common grades, but the better grades
continued firm and buyers were ca
ger for the better styles. A number
of growers who have been holding
for higher prices are reported to be
selling rather than take chance
later.

This Is the spirit we are fight
ing. The Germans will not quit.
They must be whipped, and
whipped to a finish. They can
not compromise either at home
or abroad; it is gain all or lose
all.
