JANUARY TERM OF
CHANCERY COURT

The regular January term OF the
Weakley county Chancery Court
convened here Monday morning, ana
the term will in all probability end
tomorrow.
This is about the most unlnterest-
ing. term of Chancery Court from
a general public standpoint, held In
Dresden in years. There isn't case
of public interest on the docket for
trial at the present term, all the It'll
gated cases of note having been con-
tinued. Several injunction cases are
being disposed Of at the present
term.
But one divorce case stands for
trial at the present term, this beng

SEE BROTHER AND
LOCKED UP ALSO

A man named Waller, formerly of
the vicinity of Sharon, came here
Tuesday to see his brother, Jethro
Waller, in jail on a charge of wife
desertion, and was himself locked
up by the sheriff.

GER that he had capias for him,
he having been indicted on a charge
of stealing meat from the home of
his brothers deserted wife in Sha-
ron. When Jethro Waller left his
wife, taking his mother and foul
children, he left quality Of meat
and sent his brother, who was lock-

LARGE DELIVERS
OF TOBACCO MADE
Prices Going Higher And Crops Bought With
out Examination. Plans Making for
Big Crop This Year.

Prizers of leaf tobacco have about
all they can do this week, receiving
tobacco, which is being rushed to
the barns. However, pricing is going
on apace and at the present rate the
season will close early.
While buyers do not state for
publication just what they are pay
ing, it is known that there has been
no drop in the price. In fact, re-
ports have come to us of tobacco
selling at Fulton for $50 for Weak
ley county grown tobacco. We do
not vouch for the truthfulness of this
No tobacco has been sold in this vi
entity for this price, though number
of growers have declined $25.
Contrary to the customary rule,
many crops have been sold without
an inspection by the buyer, the grow
er simply stating the condition, quail
ity, etc. and setting his price.
Monday was big day in Dresden,
80 wagon-loads remaining here over
night. The condition of the roads,
which have been the worst in years,
has handicapped delivery, especial
ly where long hauls were necessary.
Plans are in the making for a
large crop for the present year
Many farmers who quit tobacco are
planning a cop for this year,
while others will inrcease their acre
age over the previous year.

LIBERAL CONTRI-
BUTTONS FOR RELIEF

Ex-Sheriff Whit LaFon, who has
charge of soliciting funds in this vi
cinity. for the relief of the starving
thousands of Armenians, reports a
reasonably liberal response, though
many fatty refuse to give. to the
fund who are able to do so.
Some claim they gave clothes way
back yonder last year, Others that
they helped with money last YER, and
SO on. But the literally disposed
have been quite generous, and Mr..
LaFon will be able to make quite a
creditable showing for Dresden and
community.
These people are dying by the
thousands-old men and women and
small children-ard rich, prosperous
America must feed them.

FAST DRIVING

Wednesday afternoon some
young people were breaking

There is entirely too much
fast, reckless driving of cars
in Dresden. 1t ought to be
stopped.
Let's go slower, boys and

for which, if you were respon-
sible, you would deeply regret
to your dying day.
