Americans came up from their shelters

gas masks and waited for the raiders.

ROOF OF SPOKE FAC
TORY COLLAPSES.

The roof of Titles spoke factory,
situated at the depot in Dresden, col
lapsed on Tuesday morning, follow
ing the heavy snowfall Of Satur-
day and Monday.
There was no machinery housed
under the roof, but Supt. F. Y. Flu
qua lost a good buggy, which was
crushed as if an egg shell, being en-
tirely demolished. Housed under
the roof also were a number of hogs
heads of priced tobacco belonging
to Mr.. F. C. Ezell, the local prizer,
which, however, suffered little dam
age.
This is the second loss Mr.. Little
has experienced since the bad spell
of weather set in. 1t will be remem-
bered that his spoke factory located
at Big Sandy burned some two weeks
ago, doing great damage to all his
spoke making machinery. The ma
chinery was being taken down for
removal to Dresden to fill big con-
tract for the government for can
non spokes.

LESTER WRITES IN
TERESTTNG LETTER
Camp Grant, Jan. 6, 1918.


Dear Mr.. Holbrook:-
l have been intending writing yoU
for some time, but there has been
so much to do and so hard to get
settled. l was shipped up here on
New Years, and was glad to get
away from the barracks at ST. Louis.
It's capacity was $500 men and there
were $4,000 of us there and it SEEM
like there were enough to whip the
kaiser. / stayed there three weeks.
The camp l am now at is 85 miles
west of Chicago, near the Wisconsin
line. It is pretty cold here and lots
of snow. We have our walks and
streets cleaned off and the snow in
piles ten feet high. don't believe
the cold hurts as bad here as in Ten
nessee, but I much prefer the South.
We are only here temporarily, as
all the Southern aviation camps are
full up, the only place to send US is
a draft camp. There are 10000 men
here, but the best equipped camp in
the country. All frame buildings,
steam heat, three sleeping rooms,
10 men in each room; mess hall in the
same building and some of the best
eating you ever saw, and we certain
ly eat, too.
l am feeling fine and have an un-
usually good appetite. Regular
meals and lots of exercise does a fell
low good, although it is pretty tough
hiking in the snow.
have been under quarantine since
reaching here-case of measles.
There is very little sickness in camp
and we get the very best of atten-
ton from our officers-more like a
father than a superior officer.
Many thanks for your copies of
the Enterprise, given Maude. I am
saving them and if you wish will
send them back for your files. 1t
is really truly case of letter from
home to see the paper.
l hope everything is fine in the
old town and trust you and your
family are enjoying the best Of
health. Regards to them; also Kirby
and the bunch.
With many good wishes for you
and yours, and again thanking you
for the papers, l am,
Sincerely

the past 1l1Leen years.
Error in Light Rate
Alderman John Brasfield says the
Enterprise is in error in stating that
the rate for lights in Dresden is l6
per X. W, and the correction is
cheerfully made by US. In fact, we,
along with many others, are glad to
know the rate is not so high, though
it is IL 1-2 cents per K. W., which
is still too much to pay for electric
fty.
Market Postponed
Owing to the continued bad wealth
er the Red Cross market, announc-
ed for tomorrow Saturday has

ever, friends of the Red Cross who
wish to contribute to the market are

Jeter suggests that owners Of cars
call or write him to ascertain the
cost of the number and postal charg-
es. Check or money order must be
sent before the clerk can send the
numbers out. He has no right to
send them otherwise. So do not
ask it Of him.
