FINDS BOMB IN
LOAD OF COBS.

Mr.. Tom Bruce, a well-to-dO citi-
zen Of the 18th district, and Uncle
of Assistant Cashier Dolph Bruce,
went to Fulton one day last week
and got a load of cobs from big
FIGURING mill there, the cobs to be
used in burning a plant bed.
MIR. Bruce drove home with the
cobs, unloaded them and found
among them bomb about half the
size of a common water bucket. The
cobs were loaded on wagon from a
chute at the mill in a kind of dark
shed, and it is quite evident the
bomb had been placed among the
cobs at the mill. The mill uses these
cobs for firing purposes, and it is
the general belief that a German
sympathizer placed it amlong the
cobs to be fed into the mill fire box
with the purpose of blowing the
mill up. 1t is said that the bomb
was Of sufficient size to destroy
half the town Of Fulton. Mr.. Bruce
carried the bomb back to the mill,
and a sensation was created at Full
ton.

TRY TT SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling off in the sale Of calomel
They all give the same reason Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs but few cents, and if it
fails to give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
DOdson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults Take
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel Take
q dose Of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.

MANY FARMERS
INSTALLING DELCO

W. T. Murphy, Of the Murphy

Friday morning, and informs the En-
terprise that many farmers through
out the county are installing the Del
co lighting system on their farms.
Among those who have just re-
Gently installed this splendid light
ing system are Luther Duke, Will
Freeman and Homer Mitchem. Each
of these gentlemen has complete
operated by the Delco. This sys-
system on both water and lights, both

handy man about the place, pump

saving the wood, grinding the corn,
besides furnishing light for all the
house and the barn.

THE GROWING OF
IRISHPOTATOES

We should work to get the very
hest results from our crop. The time
is at hand when we need no idle
land. Every foot of our land should
produce good crop Of some kind.
How to Plant the First Crop Of
Irish Potatoes: First cut your land
with disc and then break it with
turning pillow. Harrow it and then
put good coat Of manure on it and
cut it with a disc, lay off furrow
with single shovel and then sow 80
pounds commercial fertilizer to ev-
cry one-tenth part of an acre; then
run the same pillow back in the same
furrow to mix the fertilizer with the
soil; drop your potatoes about IL
inches apart in the drill, cover with
one horse pillow and before the po-
tatoes begin to come up harrow the
ridge off. Be sure to sprout your
potatoes before planting. Don't let
the sprout get over one fourth of an
inch in length. If your ground be-
comes packed put two calf tongue
plows on your double shovel and
run very deep around them at the
next blowing. Put the large hoe on
when the potatoes begin to make and
pillow off from them so as not to
break the potatoes off. If you are
going to raise them for shipping
purposes don't use stable manure
it will make a rough potato. Also
if you are going to raise seed. We
all should raise our own seed. We
can do that by blowing up our first
patch of potatoes and planting it ov-
er. prefer dry seed for the Sec
ond crop. They are more sure than
the green seed.
l would be glad if every one would
try this. One or TIVE bushels of po-
tatoes properly planted and cult
waited will make enough potatoes for
any family the year round, and it
will cut your grocery bill down.
l will tel you something about the
second crop later.-J. w. Trantham.

STOCKHOLDERS DID
NOT HOLD MEETING

The stockholders meeting Of the
Weakley County Fair Association,
called for last Friday, did not materi-
alize, there being but so Of the
1000 shares represented. The char
ter provides that a majority of the
stock, sol shares, constitute a quo
rum, and as only 60 shares were rep
resented, no business was transact
ed.
The secretary, Mr.. King Webb,
has made repeated efforts to get
the shareholders to attend a meet
ing to hear the financial report, but
for some reason satisfactory to them
selves they do not attend. There
ought to be some announcement
made as to a fair this fall. The
time is at hand when exhibitors would
like to know whether to begin pre-
pairing exhibits.
The Enterprise takes the liberty
to suggest that every stakeholder
who cannot attend a meeting Of the
stockholders send his written proxy
to some reliable person in Dresden,
authorizing the said person to act
for him or her at a meeting. This
would enable the secretary to call a
meeting and make some definite
plans for a fair.

we respectfully ask you to print the

How To Use The
TELEPHONE

Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, be.
low, or six inches away from the trans.
mitter of your telephone?
You should talk directly into the
transmitter-not simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even tone. It is not neces.
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone. but these
little rules will help.

SEE
NORTHERN LIGHT.
Aurora B0rsaIs Of Remarkable BrlEance
Visible Here Thursday Night. Lasts
About Two Hours.

An aurora borealis of remarkable
brilliance illuminated the skies last
Thursday evening between 8 and 10
o'clock and was viewed with inter
est by our citizens. From focal
point in the remote north, below the
visible horizon, giant beams of glow
ing light, radiating like spokes from
the hub Of wheel, streamed and
flashed and quivered across the dome
of the heavens, presenting a specta-
Gle indescribably beautiful and mag
nificent.
Those who noticed the northern
light" inits first appearance describe
it as a red glow in the northern skies
resembling the reflection of great
conflagration. Then broad stream
ers of brilliant white light, resem-
bling beams from Titanic search
lights, began to play across the arch
ing skies, reaching far to the south
ward. These white beams soon gave
place to others Of brilliant eolors,
red, green blue and orange. The
white and colored light belts contin-
ued to alternate and intermingle for
some time, producing a display at
once marvelOusly grand and beau
tiful.
The aurora lasted over two hours.
At the height Of it's brilliancy it
played over the northern half Of the
heavens, and was reflected toward
the southern hemisphere. AS its
intensity died away it again assumed
the likeness, far in the north of the
crison glow produced by great
fire.
The aurora borealis, or northern
light, is ascribed by scientists to
electrical discharges in the thin
strata of the upper air. 1t is most
commonly seen in the northern hem
isphere, in the high ATTITUDES within
and adjacent to the Arctic circle.
Not often does one of such brilliance
as was exhibited last Thursday night
become visible this far from the
pole. The last time an aurora any
thing like comparable with this was
seen in this vicinity, was on the night |
Of March 20, 1894.
The electrical nature of the phe-
is clearly indicated by the |
fact that during the prevalence of |
auroras telegraph and telephone
is often seriously dis
,urbed.
Arctic observations during the
ong polar nights, indicate that the
aurora is more frequent in nocturnal
han in diurnal hours. 1t exhibits a
louble annual period, being more
common in March and October and
ess common in January and June.
t also has a period of greater fire.
Iuency about every eleven years;
aurorae corresponding with
sun spots, and with the
tronger disturbances of the mag
letic needle; thus indicating some
association of terrestrial magnetism
md auroral displays with solar ac-
ion.
There is also longer variation in
he frequency of aurorae; they were
elatively rare from 1895 to 1928,
nd relatively frequent about 1880
%, 1850 and 1870. While these va
ious relations, both of place and
ime, leave no doubt that the aurora

ONE way on the magnetic conditions

The aurora was visible at Nashville,

,laces all over the country.
