MIC. DISCONTIN-
UES FOUR TRAINS

Effective last Monday four trains
on the N, C. & st. L. railroad were
annulled, one of them being our main
mail train. This was the train from
the east, known as the Memphis and
Birmingham Special, reaching Ores
den mornings at about 6 o'clock.
The other trains taken off are the
Dixie Flyer, both east and west. The
east-bound Dixie has been reaching
Dresden at 4:29 from st. Louis, and
the west-bound at lilo from Nash
vile for st. Louis. Both these trains
are discontinued. This train has
been run in competition with the L.
& Ms Dixie Flyer via Evansville.
All railroads being under the gov
eminent domination, there will be
no competitive trains, hence the an
nullment of our Dixie. Another train
taken off was the one which former

AUTOS NOT AFAD
NOW IN TEXAS.
Leonard, Tex, Jan. 8, 1918.

Dear Mr.. Holbrook:-
just think Of you as little Joe
Holbrook, Of Trenton, as have new
er seen much of you since you got
to be a great editor. We enjoy read
ing the Enterprise. i notice you are
wanting a correspondent in every
part of the county and l hope you
will succeed in eating them, espec-
tally in the lower part of the coun-
ty, about Sharon and Sidonia, as
that is my old stamping ground. I
am glad to know that old Tennessee
is so prosperous and everybody able
to own an auto, of which they seem
to be so proud. Well, that has
ceased to be a fad in Texas.--just
the common folks use the automo-
biles now in Texas. The other
class use the flying machines-get-
ting to be as common as some birds.
l hope Tennesseans will soon dis
card the automobiles and get up in
the air.
Well, l notice the devil has abdi-
Gated in favor of the kaiser. Now,
if we can just eliminate the kaiser,
we will have all fears removed, and
we can just go on rejoicing in our
freedom.
Well, dear Joe, l have just jotted
down these few thoughts, as l have
nothing else to do. You can do as
you please with them. They won't
take up much room in your waste
basket,
Yours truly,
J. W. GOODLOE.

TOBACCO EXPECTED
TO MOVE AT ONCE

Mr.. Bob Freeman tells us that last
weeks Mayfield paper stated nearly
100000 pounds Of the 1917 to-
bacco crop had been delivered at
Mayfield, the average price paid be-
ing about IL cents.
He further states that something
like 10000 pounds had been bought
in this county, most of it by the firm
buying at Gleason, where it is loaded
into cars and shipped to stemmery
at GAINESVILLE. Local buyers expect
to begin riding as soon as the wealth
err opens up to admit of riding. Mr..
Ezell let the contract on last Satur-
day to v. C. Sandefer for the repair"
ing Of his prizing house, the roof Of
which fell in under the weight of
snow and rain on Monday of last
week. The work is to begin at
once, and Mr.. Frank Jackson will
assist Sandefer.

FIX
TURES ARRIVE.

The handsome new postoffice fix
lures for Dresden's postoffice
reached Dresden last Saturday and
were unloaded in the postOffice. An
entire box car was required to trans
port the new fixtures, which will be
the equal of any in this entire coun-
ty.
Weather conditions permitting, the
fixtures will be installed in the To-
cal office at once, thus giving Ores
den eonveniences enjoyed by other
communities.
These fixtures were purchased by
Mr.. Harrell Moran, owner Of the
postoffice building and are as good
and attractive and convenient as
money can buy.

BEEF
STEERS SHIPPED

Messrs. Moran Bros. shipped a car
load Of fine beef steers from their
farm on last Saturday, despite the
big snowfall on that day. These
steers had been scientifically fed
on silage and other feeds and were
in prime condition when leaving here.
There has been great increase
in the number of beef steers pro-
duced in this county within the past
few years, and the next few years
will bring a greater increase. Farm
ers are rapidly learning the value OF
beef cattle production, and the coun-
ty over is dotted with silos. Five or
six years ago there was not a silo in
the county.

TANNING MILLS
ARE ALL MUCH LIKE
Separation Of Grain Depends Upon
Similar Features--What the
Air Blast Does.

Tanning mills are coming into use
more each year on Tennessee farms.
Farmers are recognizing that weed
seed and dirt should be separated from
grain before seeding. The tanning
mill will do 1t. If the grain is to be
sold for seeding purposes, all the more
important that 1t be cleaned to get
the highest market price. Useless
pieces of matter, either weeds or chat
or dirt, must be separated from the
good seed.
A separation based upon q variance
In weight IL made by the use Of an air
blast some @aehlASs use this meth.
cd almost entirely. and until recently
grAins ggadsFas sna cleaners. depended
principally VSan- afr currents for sop.
grafton. !, Hence, the .aAms tanning
mill" Because Of the fact tSat the
heavy Kernels are most desirable for
seed, fanniag Il the chief feature Of a
grain cleRaing and grading machine.
70 examples Of how the difference in
shape iSamade use OF are found in de.
vices for separating oats from wheat.
In one machine a reverse turn in the
cells Of O riddle allow the wheat ker.
nels to pass thru, but the longer oat
kernels can not. In another device, IA
cloth apron over the sieve keeps the
grains in thin layer and prevents the
oat kernels from being up-ended 80 as
to pass thru, while the wheat kernels,
being shorter, pass thru without any
difficulty. ...s .. d.
Nearly all tanning mills upon the
market have certain features In com.
mon. In nearly all machines there are
sleeves, riddles, or hurdles for grading
the grain, the shoes for supporting
these, the mechanism for shaking
them, and fan to furnish the air blast
to blow out the chaff and lighter seed.

Snow fell every day last week,
closing out the weeks record on Sat
urday with fall conservatively es-
timated at six inches. No snow fell
Sunday, but it began falling Mon
day at o'clock, continuing until
late in the night.
Fuel is getting scarce here, and
wood wagons have been doing live
business. Some families ran entirely
out during the bad spell and had to
send out the S. 0. S. signal The.

Enterprise mentioned some weeks
ago as being stacked about. the square

Some instances have been reported
Of thefts of coal.
While the weather has not been
intensely cold, it has been cold
enough to pinch considerably, and
number of cases of frost-bitten feet,
hands and ears are reported. ..

month one man was killed and three
wounded on an American destroyer
accidentally fired upon by an armed
American merchant ship.
1t is reported that the merchant
ship was one OF the American line
steamers. The guard fired on the de

WAR SUMMARY.

Having occupied Odessa and Nix
olayev, important naval and gram
ports, the Germans i'll southern Rus
sia continue their advance north
ward from the Black Sea toward
KherSon, an important commercial
center and sapital of the province OF
the same name.
The all-Russian congress OF So
viets has declared Moscow to be the
Russian capital and it is said that
all government and military effects
have been removed from Petrograd.
The bolshevik leaders, although they
urged and obtained ratifications OF
the German peace treaty, are said
to have little hope that the treaty
will bring peace, and are calling
upon the local soviets to form mill
tary organizations with which to
combat the Germans should their
invasion continue farther into the
heart of Russia.
French and German troops have
been engaged in heavy fighting on
both sides of the Meuse in the Yer
dun sector. West OF the river the
French have gained the enemy po-
sitions on front OF about 400
yards to depth of 800 yards, while
east OF the river the Germans were
unsuccessful in strong attacks on
si-mile front.
Sunday the Germans sent heavy
forces against the French position!
at Samogneux, north OF the Bois de
Caurieres and near BezonvauX
They entered the French line at va
riouS points. Violent French artil
lery fire inflicted heavy casualties OF
the attackers, and they were unabl
to hold on to the trenches they ha,
gained. The front east OF the MeuS
has been the scene of much vlolen
artillery fire during the last month
Raiding activity on the Rritls
front has died down somewhat, an
the Germans for the moment, a
least, have given up their Stron
raids on the Yprcs-Arras line. TIL
artillery fire here and in the Cam
brai area, however, is intense.

On the American sectors at TOT

change in the situation. America
