EARLY CLOSING HOUR
BEING OBSERVED HERE

Effective last Monday noon, the
early closing hour hit Dresden and
Weakley county, and was pretty well
observed, except here in Dresden,
where there was very large crowd,
making it almost impossible to close
promptly at o'clock, No previous
warning had been given, and many
came to town to do trading, leaving
their bundles and wraps in the bust
ness houses until going home time.
However, we understand that else
where in the county the law was OBJ
served, and from Monday on it has
carried out here. Places of bust
ness are allowed to open at a. M,
closing at 4 p. M, with certain ex-
ceptiOns. Barber shops are allowed
to remain open until 6 p. m, on
week days and until 9 on Saturday.
Christmas shopping will be affect
ed by the store hours, and mer-
chants are all appealing to the
public to SHOP early" in earnest
this year lest the usual rush prove
TOO great to care for.
Later-Grocery stores are re-
quired to close at 6 p. m. and dry
goods stores 4, both remaining
c'osed until 9 a. m.

DECEMBER TERM
TO Be SHORT LIVED
Heavy Divorce Docket to be
Tried. Light Misdemeanor
and Felony Dockets.

The probability, say the knowing
ones about the. circuit court room,
is that the December (1919) term
of the Weakley courty circuit court
will be the shortest lived in the his
tory of the county. The term will
very likely adjourn by the middle OF
next week, -. %
The heaviest Docket, it seems, is
that embracing the divorce cases.
This is the largest of any term since
before the war. During the term OF
the war there were few divorce ca
SEES. one term hearing but a single
case, but since the war lot of peo-
nle want to be ununionized, and
there are many of these cases for
the present term.

ADVANCED ADVERTISING RATE

The Enterprise received a shipment of paper this
week on which this paper is printed 1t cost us b
cents per pound. We formerly bought it for cents.
The price of labor has advanced Likewise the price
of everything entering into the publication of news
paper even to cook hire and pair of shoe strings
yet the Enterprise has been dragging along without
change in its advertising rate for the past four years
Four years ago advanced the price of advertising
from IS cents the inch to II IL cents, and Deem
Der l. 1919, our rates were placed follows:
Display advertising, all handset per column inch Csc
Display Advertising, all cut per column inch...20c
Local ads remain at per line first Insertion. 1Oc
Local ads second insertion, without change .,7 1-2c
Cards of Thanks $500
Now, if you cannot make the space worth these
prices to you, we say frankly that not blame
you if you do not newspaper advertising space.
But we want you understand that these rates named
above are below the rate received by papers published
elsewhere with calculations equang the Enterprise

Yes, I'm the cuckoo that hves an th's
clock,
And tell you the time OF day;
Instead Of ring come out and sing
When the hour glfdes away"
This is what the little cuckoo sang
when Billy Bunny looked up at the
little clock which Uncle Lucky had
given to his mother for Christmas.
And when Mrs. Bunny heard this pretty
song she laughed, and so did the Httie
Black Cricket who lived on the hearth.
Even the canary bird in the cage that
hung in the south window over the
geraniums laughed, too. and then he
began 10 sing:
The cuckoo tells the time or day,
Cuckoo. cuckoo. cuckoo:
Bot when the sunshine strikes the pane
I sing my happiest refrain:
I try to do my lille part
And sing the gladness in my heart.
Well. after that, the little rabbit put
on his rnittens and went out Tor mop
over the snow covered Pleasant
Meadow. and pretty soon. moi 50 very
long. he saw Dickey Meadowinouse. he
was peeking out of a hole in the SNOW
which he had made after climbing up
strong stalk Of grass and polkins
his nose through. You see. he had niue
unnels under the snow. but every once
in a while he'd run up grass stalk
and peak out over the pleasant rlcadoW.
Hello. Billy Bunny said the tiny
meadowmouse. Where are you gong

ism In America Roosevelt was the
most national. He was the very em-

enthusiasm OF modern America were
all NEST potenliy expressed In him
and embodied in him and he best of
all gave them voice and made them
part and parcel OF other men. And his
Americanism found its expression
above all else in patriotism. And his
patriotism In turn was militant, or the
