FINE LOT OF HOGS
GO TO MISSISSIPPI

On Saturday Messrs. ]. A. and W.
P. Irvine shipped by express a fine
lot of thoroughbred DuroC hogs to a
gentleman in Mississippi.
Included in the shipment was a
sow and nine of the prettiest pigs
we ever saw, and eight gifts, the en-
tire lot bringing 1915. These were
all thoroughbred Durocs of a very
high type as to breeding, color, etc.
The demand for the red hog, we'll
bred and well cared for, is growing,
and it behooves our citizens to i'm
prove their stock, which may be done
both by good breeding and careful
attention. The Enterprise expects
to have a large supply of government
bulletins on hog raising, etc., for
free distribution within a few days,
having made requisition for num-
Der of copies. They will be yours
for the asking.

PRICES
PAIDFOR TOBACCO

Though buyers are offering as
high as 15c around for tobacco, the
Weakley county growers seem slow
to sell at that price. Buyers have
been riding for the past two weeks,
but with little success, if reports
from farmers are correct, they stat
ing little had been sold up to Mon
day. However, many loads came
to Dresden last Friday, several on
Saturday and number on Monday
and Tuesday.
From other markets we give the
following reports:

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautiful-Get a small bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, its strength and its very life,
and if not overcome it produces a fever
ishness and itching of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast. Surely get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
from any drug store and just try it.

AT PADUCAH

Paducah, KY, March 3.-Buyers
in Paducah estimated that 20,O00,000
pounds of tobacco already have been
sold this season by farmers in Ken
lucky west of the Tennessee river.
The total value of the tobacco crop,
which is the largest and finest ever
raised in the dark district, is esti-
mated at $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Very little buying has been done
this season in Paducah, although
this is one of the most important
tobacco markets in the world.
Most of the buying has been done in
Marshall, Galloway and Graves
counties. Deliveries have been de-
layed by the unprecedented weather
and the bad condition of the roads.
Only a small per centage of the crop
has yet been sold. Prices in the
Paducah market have been steady
and lately have shown an increase.
Medium and common grades in Mar
SHALL, Galloway, Graves and ada
cent counties have been bringing
from $14 to SIG. In Paducah prices
have ranged from $12 to $3.50
around for leaf and Jugs. In few
instances prices have been higher.
Local buyers for export trade have
displayed some activity. Higher
prices for tobacco for England are
expected before long.
About $4,000 pounds of loose leaf
tobacco was sold Friday at the plant
of the Peoples Warehouse Compa-
ny. The tobacco was low grade, but
brought top prices of II IL to IL Ia
cents for Tugs and a maximum of
IA IL cents for leaf. The Broad
way Warehouse Company establish
ed a record Friday, a crop grown by
j. D. Morrison, of route 6, Benton,
KY, selling from $3.50 to $18.

Distress Warrants

A good many people are driving
their cars without numbers over the
good roads which have been made
good with money paid by other peo-
pie for automobile licenses, and
County Court Clerk Jeter informs
the Enterprise that he received on
Friday instructions from the State
Highway department notifying him
that hereafter he must issue distress
warrants for all parties driving cars
that do not bear the 1918 number
plates. Mr. Jeter tells us he cannot
send number plates unless the re-
quest to do so is accompanied by the
cash and sufficient extra to pay pos
tage.
