Year sweet babe, his brief life having
made lasting impressions that will
never be forgotten. leaving you with
broken hearts. 1t il doubtless hard to
understand why our home circles are
thus robed by death, but we know that

there.

This last Cardui which I took made

Don't allow yourself to become
weak and rundown from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. 1t should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sideache,

GREENFIELD HAS
ANOTHER FIRE

At / o'clock last Friday morning
fire was discovered in Chas. Grooms'
mule barn at Greenfield. This barn
is located on "Soup" street, and is
used by Mr.. Grooms for housing his
mules. 1t was brick structure and
east of it were three or four small
frame buildings, used as lunch
houses, etc. These were burned also.
One of the latter buildings be-
longed to Mrs. Chas. Grooms, one to
Deem GroOms and one was owned by
Roger Grooms. There was no in
surance on any of the buildings.
Besides the loss of his barn, Chas.
Grooms lost several hogs, some feed
stuff and some harness.
The frame buildings were mere
shacks, and, no doubt, will be re-
placed with nice brick business
houses. Greenfield has been most
unfortunate in her fire losses in re-
cent years, and there is considera-
bic talk there of installing a Cora
plete water system. This, however,
would be expensive at the present
time, as all material and labor is
expensive, but, perhaps, no more SO
than the loss of property by fire.

N Most ShpGDdOus Attack Yet Hurled Against
Western Front Germans Fail to
Attain Single Objective.

London, March Pat is not
yet possible to give more than a
very general and vague idea Of the
fighting Thursday on the front be-
tween the Disc and the Sensee,
which continued with swaying for
tunes, according to the accounts OF
correspondents at the British front
west and southwest of Cambria evil
IDENTIFY aims at re-capturlng all the
Hindenburg line, says dispatch
to the Morning Post from British
headquarters in France, which adds:
"The German army attacking south
of the Scarpe seems to have deliver
ed the first blow principally in the
triangle of the Arras- Cambria and
Bapaume- Cambria roads, while the
German army south of Cambria IS
striking against our trench systems
in the region west of the Ccheldt
canal. No doubt the enemy hopes
that the attacking forces of these
two armies may succeed in forming
a junction and thus cutting off a
considerable slice off the British
front and taking back all the Hin
denburg trenches lost exactly four
months ago."
Struggles for villages and ruined
farm houses continued throughout
Thursday, according to the cores
pondent of the Daily Mail.
"The enemy bombardment," he
says, began at o'clock in the morn
ing and at o'clock some Of the Ger
man units left their trenches and at
tackled the British with heavy and
light machine guns. Between 8 and
10 the engagement became general
on a front of some rs miles"

ments concurred in by the senate,

The bill was introduced by Repre-

was strongly supported by Represent
alive Sims of Tennessee, who is chair
man of the interstate and foreign

The bill provides that at 2 o'clock

eminent will be conducted on the
time set. Further inducement of its
use by every one is given in desig-
mating the times in the various zones
as United States standard Easter
time, United States standard Central

Inasmuch as commercial and la

are to be fixed by order of the inter-
state commerce commission. But it

With the American Army in

Today a patrol, without assist

out casualties, the Germans appa-
rently having decided not to modest
them. Artillery firing by both sides
on this sector continued all day.

ADVERTISING IS
NOT PUBLICITY

Advertising to be genuine public
ity must be read BY the people. To
be read BY the people advertising
must be placed IN the medium read
by the people.
No one thinks Of erecting large,
expensive advertising sign-board mid
way a long lane travelled by few
people. This kind Of advertising
isn't worth much in these days
when folks travel by automobiles go
ing from is to 35 miles an hour.
But if the merchant were to use the
sign-board in this modern time, he
certainly would select place where
the largest number Of people pass
daily.
So it is with newspaper advertls-
ing-the wise advertiser selects the
newspaper that reaches the people.
That paper in Weakley county is the
Dresden Enterprise, which, by reason
of being the county seat paper, has
a general countrywide circulation.
This statement will be vouched for
by the physicians who visit the homes
Of the people.
The reason the Enterprise enjoys
a countrywide circulation is because
it gives all the news Of all the coun-
ty all the time. Even now, at the
dawn Of the busy work season, our
list is growing, which means that
the farmer wants to know what is
taking place in the work season as
we'll as during the winter months.

and renewal subscribers up to last
