school, for when Uncle Sam puts his
foot on anything something is GO
ing to pick up. Let us have an edu-
Gated people, not an ignorant lot OF
folks. Just ask yourself this qnes-
ton, who and how many can take up
daily newspaper and read it in
diligently?
Our faithful mail carrier, Mr..
Perry, has made his round as far as
he could go, every day he could,
and he deserves credit for it. Now,
when the roads thaw up, the best
thing we can do is to fix those bad
places, for they are going to be dan
gerous.
Aunt Temp Stafford carries but
ter and eggs to the store on Satur-
days, but didn't get to go last Sat-
urday. So she went on Monday and
didn't have but $3.50 worth of but
ter, as she had had some company.
How is that for Jersey COW?
B. A. Elinor has a sow and eight
pigs he has been offered 800 for, and
one with three pigs he has been Of
fered $50 for. They are Durocs.
1t pays to have registered stock. He
has houses for these hogs almost as
warm as dwelling.
Well, some time ago some one
said "the Enterprise has gone up to
$3.50 and l can't take it," but it
seems to be going on just the same.
Dear Joe makes it so interesting
everybody wants to read it. So let's
help him to get all the news, for
some day in the near future proph-
esy he will be one of our state Off
Gals. Go on, Mr.. Holbrook-you
deserve anything you ask for.
Now, this is the second time in
my life to write to a newspaper, and
this may be thrown in the waste
basket, so do as you think best, as
l must get up some lessons.-Rough

NONRESIDENT NOTICE

Hays & Odds VS.. Evan Lewis.
Before J, R. McWherter, Justice Of
the Peace of Weakley County.
In this cause it appears by affi-
davit that the defendant, Evan
Lewis, is justly indebted to the plain
tiff, and is a nonresident of the
state, so that the ordinary process of
law cannot be served on him and
an original attachment having been
levied on his property, subject to the
attachment previously levied in fav-
or Of Pentecost & Pentecost, and
returned to me, it is, therefore, or
dered that publication be made in
the Dresden Enterprise, a newspa-
per published in the city of Dresden,
Tenn, for four consecutive weeks,
commanding the said Evan Lewis to
appear before me at my office in
Palmersville, Tenn, on or before
Friday, March /, 1918,
and make defense to said suit, or it
will be proceeded with exparte.

Mrs. Jim Maynard is confined to
her bed with neuralgia.
DR.. Elinor lost a fine Jersey cow
last week, valued at $100.
Mr.. FINS Carlton has lost two
nice horses this winter, valued at
$3.50.
Ivie Overton sold a lot of nice
hogs the past week, at Is cents per
pound.
James Todd lost one of his fine
matched mules last week, valued at
5000; also few days ago, he lost
four nice yearlings.
There is another bungalow under
contract to go up on the Elinor land
near here. Hurrah for Mineral
Springs! That makes three new
houses here inside of year. 1t may
be city some day.
We are fearful that the mail car
rier is not going to be able to make
all his route on No. 1, unless
the road is fixed just beyond Fred
Scates'. Let's all get together and
fix that road, for it is going to be
dangerous after few rains.
Mr.. Henry Lee Dunlap has moved
to one of B. A. ElinOr's places, as
has also Uncle Eli Arlington.
Mr.. FINS Carlton purchased a nice
team of mules from Sam McCrackin,
that noted merchant at Christmas
vile, last week.
Ben Elinor bought 10 Jersey heif-
ers for 5000. Watch him sell them
for $400 before this time next year.
How happy we should be by fol-
lowing the advice of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis, our farm and food demonstra-
tors. There have been better crops
and finer gardens than there have
ever been in this county.
There seems to be some fun to
some who are over 80. Now, don't
let it get too funny-they will reach
IS yet, and if they are needed God
send the day. We need to gain this
war, and we should be soldiers, just
as the boys in the trenches.
Mr.. Ben Cantrell has been dan
gerously i'll, from an abscess in his
side, but is improving rapidly.
Mr.. Richard Johnson is preparing
to make big cotton crop this time.
He has his land already broken

been talking to Mr.. Ellis, the demon
strator.
The school at Dunlap's is progress
ing nicely. We think it second to
none. We have two teachers and
enough work for three. Miss Sib-
BILE Horton is assisting Mrs. C. H.
Curlee. They have a number car
rying high school work and are ad-
vancing the pupils as fast as posi-
BILE. Visit the school. You will i'm
agine you are visiting young nor

Well Well! Well! We've got
the bone-dry law, we've got the no
fence law, and my understanding was
that we had the compulsory school
law. Well, so far as the bone-dry
law, that is being carried out all
right, and so far as the no-fence law,
the pig must be put in a pen from
the way people are fixing to tear
down the outside fences; but now,
the most important of all, the chill
dren are not going to school as they
should. But wait, my understand
ing is that every teacher will be ex-
amined in military work next sum-
mer. Then watch people send to

CALIFORNIA WOMEN
LIVE UP TO RULES
FOR SUGAR RATIONS

San Francisco. Cal. July 3.-Cau-
forniA housewives have been given a
clean bin of health In their observ-
ance Of tho sugar regulations govern
ing the purchase of sugar for canning
and preserving, it was announced by
the United States Food Administra-
ton for California.
Inspectors who were sent out by'th
food administration in answer to COM
ing to evade the rules by purchasing
sugar ostensibly for canning and
then dtverting 1t to other uses. re-
ported that dozens Of homes were
visited and only one case Of fraud
ulent Use of the sugar discovered.
In view Of the urgent necessity for
steict conservation Of sugar, however,
the inspectors will continue to check
up the certificates on. which sugar is
purchased from the grocer for can
ming or preserving. These are signed
pared to show the actual goods in can
or jar to the equivalent Of the sugar.
Because Of the larger quantities Of
sugar necessary to make preserves
and jellies, the food administration
urges that fruits be canned rather
thai preserved this season.
GERMAN LOSSES OvERRATED.
England's military critic. Colonel
Repington, does not Join in the cry
that Hun losses in the great battles
since March 81 have been two, three
OF. four times those Of the Allies, and
he even says that though the enemy's
advantage in captured guns can not
be denied, it is not certain that his
loss Of men does not equal ours and
even exceed it, which is conservative
enough. He also credits the Germans
with extraordinary brilliancy in their
tactics, which won surprise attack
after surprise attack, in spite of ally
superiority in the air. But since May
nc surprise attack has worked. The
Allies are getting onto the trick.
