REV. J. D. PURVIs POUNDED

Dear Editor: Will you please pub
lish the following, as we take this
method of expressing our apprecia-
ton to the good people of Ruby and
vicinity for the many nice and valu-
able things presented to US on
Thanksgiving Day.
After enjoying the day Of Thanks
giving with the folks Of Ruby in re-
EEious service we were pleasantly
surprised when they filled our yard
with automobiles, then marched in
to our home, making their way on in
to the pantry. There they filled our
pantry with all kinds Of nice things.
After the presentation we looked up
on the handsome gifts Of about one
hundred dollars in value and found
ourselves trying to express our ap-
probation and thanks to the good
folks for their many good and valu-
able things they had presented b us,
but found words inadequate 10 s1-
press our feelings. But We hope to
live life of service that will skow
our appreciation Of them.
Respectfully,

THE COUNTY FAIR

The sixth annual exhibition of the
Chesterfield County Fair was held
last week in spite of combination
of discouragements.
The unsettled conditions due to the
war greatly interfered with the
plans and the preparations of ex-
hibits and the uneasiness about in
fluenza threatened for time to
cause its indefinite postponement.
And then it rained.
But thoroughly successful fair
was held with sufficient gate receipts
to meet all expenses.
In several particulars this fair was
notable. 1t was the first exhibition
on the new fair grounds and in the
| splendid new buildings. 1t was the
occasion of the first appearance in
Chesterfield county Of real govern
ment military airplane. AS Congress-
man Stevenson had spoken at the
| first fair six years ago, it was appro-
pirate that he should speak here. last
week when the new grounds We're be-
ing dedicated and initiated, so to
speak. The exhibits were worthy of
especial mention. They were not so
profuse as heretofore, but the quail
ty showed a marked improvement
over all previous exhibitions.
The exhibitions of the Kitchen De-
partment and of the Girls Canning
! Clubs attracted especial attention,
A column could be written about
the farm exhibits Of F. w. Xiv ,rs {; d
o. |. Pittman. And Macedonia Com
muaity Fair was there in all its
glory. That community fair was held
under very trying circumstances al
so but it was held, and was a good
one and the exhibits were placed on
show in fine shape at the county fair,
for all of which Macedonia deserves
great credit.
There was very fine showing Of
! hogs, under the management of Mr..
7. II. douglass. These will be men
toned more in detail next week when
the list OF all the prize winners will
be published
The weather opened fine On We'd
ncsday morning the first day of the
fair and Lieut.. BoiSirger and his as
sistants arrived and made prepara-
tions for the landing Of the airplane
that was to fly from Camp Jackson
the day following. But on Thursday
it rained and all preparations for the
big Peace-Victory celebration were
I called off and the plane could not
come, but Friday dawned cool and
clearing and from that day through
| the weather was almost ideal. The
plane, bearing Lieut.. Pope and
his mechanic, bade a beautiful fight
from Emerson Field, Camp jackson,
In less than one hour. In landing
however, the wheels of the car mired
in the soft ground and caused the
great machine to turn over. In this
! accident propeller was broken and
some other minor damages sustained
which prevented the planes leaving
the ground again until Saturday af-
ternoon, when it rose, flew over the
town and made a wide detour over
the fair gorunds and returned to Co.
lumbia.
This was the first view that many
of us had ever had Of government
military plane and its exhibition here
was an excellent free treat by the
County Fair Association, who paid
all expenses Of the airplane's trip.

HAVE RURAL TELE-
PHONES RIGHTS?

| wish to ask through the columns
Of the Enterprise information in re-
gard to Rural telephone lines crossing
over railroads, as the N, G. & St.
L. superintendent has sent a contract
to the Martin Rural Telephone Co.
for the manager to sign, claiming
$50 annual rent for their lines cross
ing the railroad near the east cor
porate line in Martin. Mr.. Perkins
thinks, if the papers are not signed,
the telephone lines will have to be
moved.
Now, can a railroad company tax
a telephone line for the right to
cross their road, or does the laws of
the state of Tennessee give the tele-
phones any rights?
l am informed the telephone peo-
pie have a right to put up poles and
stretch wires over railroads where
its necessary to reach their subscrib-
ers, if they do not interfere with the
running of trains.
The lines spoken of here have been
there five or six years, and l have
never heard any complaint, and l
have been a director all that time.

HAD YOU EVER
THOUGHT OF THIS

In telegraphy each letter averages
four dots and dashes, each word
averages five letters and each mes
sage will average twenty words, be-
sides the address, signature and
where from and check of message,
which will average an addison of
eight words to the message proper
or a total of twenty-eight words for
each message. Multiply the number
Of words in an average message of
twenty-eight by five letters to each
wo1d and then by four, which will
give you a total OF $50 strokes of
the telegraph operator on the key to
the average message.
On a recent lay the operator at

ALL CHILDREN LOVE
"SYRUP or FIGS" FOR

Give it When Feverish, Cross, Bill
ious, for Bad Breath or
Sour Stomach

Look at the tongue, Mother! If
coated, it is sure sign that your lit
tie ones stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing
at once.
When peevish, cross, listness, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't Gator act nat
urally, or is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomachache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves out
of it's little bowels without gripping,
and you have a well, playful child
again.
You needn't coax sick children to
take this harmless "fruit laxative"
they love its delicious taste, and it
always makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on the bottle. Beware of counter
feits sold here. To be sure you get
the genuine, ask to see that it is
made by California Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other kind
with contempt.

AMT IT THE TRUTH?

The Falcon used to use up column
after column of it's space urging peo-
pie to trade at home. But when we
see the grocery merchant order his
dry goods or buy them elsewhere and
the dry goods merchant order his
groceries or buy them elsewheee, it
looks like it should be the privilege
of everyone to buy where he pleases
and where he gets the most for his
money. Now, it is not fair for a
man to buy at home on credit and
send his money for cash purchases
TO Memphis, Chicago, New York, etc.
And this would be better country
if each traded with the other and all
bought needed goods at home from
home merchants in their various
ilnes.-Fayette Falcon.

SCHOOLS CONTRIB
UTE LITERALLY

The schools of Weakley County
contributed most literally in the
Earn and Give campaign for the
United War Work Fund, as will be
seen from the report below, handed
US by Supt. Foster Fuqua. And, by
the way, Fuqua is entitled to a large
measure of the credit for this splend-
did, magnificent showing, as it was
due to his energy in organizing the
schools that such good work was
done. Of course, the teachers, and
pupils, too, did their part, which,
combined with Supt. Fuqua's efforts,
makes fine showing:

WON'T SOMEONE SAY AMEN?

The Public Square of Dresden is
a disgrace!
Won't someone say, "Amen?"
All the dirt, all the rubbish, all the
stove pipes, all the paper boxes, and
so on, are dumped on the Public
Square-and yet it is a violation of
the municipal law to mess up the
streets of this town.
The other day we saw a lady go
across the street with her face and
dress smeared with SCOT, which had
been caught up in a gust of wind
and waited down Tor up) the street
just as she happened to pass that
way. Someone had cleaned his stove
pipe on the Square, leaving a great,
heaping pile of SCOT in the street
this lady got the benefit of it.
Let's clean up this town and keep
it clean.
Won't someone say, "Amen?"

DOWN AND OUT

"You English clamor to get father
and me away from Holland. We are
down and out and my father is a
broken man. Isn't that enough pun
ishment"
The above is an expression of the
former Crown Prince of Germany.
No, son, that isn't punishment
enough! Even after you and your
bloodthirsty father and other war
lords of Germany have been hanged
by the neck until you are dead
dead! dead! it will not be punish
ment enough for you.
The blood of countless thousands
will still cry for vengeance. The
sigktless orbs of old men in France
and Belgium, the armless babes and
children of France and Belgium, the
outraged young women of France
and Belgium and the loved ones of
the crucified Canadian soldiers-all
these will still cry out for more and
more punishment.
"Isn't that punishment enough?"
Great God, no! There can be no
punishment enough for the crowd
that has brought about all this blood
shed, all these cruelties and out
RACES and beastly acts, and it is
doubted if the power of salvation,
even if strong enough to reach them,
will ever do it.
