MAN 1Os YEARS OLD AND
CUT THIRD SET OF TEETH

Blue Mountain, Miss, Sept. 10
Uncle Jack Terry, aged 1O8 years,
who is still a resident in the eastern
part of Union County, several
miles southeast of Blue Mountain,
and all of whose brothers and sisters
lived to be at least a century old,
has had the unique experience Of
having cut his third set of teeth.
Uncle Jack was asked if this was the
truth, and told the Rev. S. V. Gull
lett, Baptist minister of this place,
that it was true, but declared that
the third set of teeth were of little
practical value to him, being easily
broken out of his gums. At the age
of 1O4 Uncle Jack used to walk a
mile to attend religious ceremonies
at his church.

The stock will be classified and each
class sold separately and then as 6

By classifying is meant that the
tires will be sold together, the parts
together, and so on. The total in.
debtedness is about $4,000 and the
stock and fixtures invoice exactly
$3.50. Thus only about SO cents
on the dollar, or less will be paid.
L. E, Holiday represents Mr.. Estes.
During the bankrupt proceedings
Estes was arrested by Sheriff Bull

Moss & Whitconib charging Estes
with giving two checks which were
returned marked, mo funds" How

The Meek fine farm of 1872 acres,
situated two miles south of Martin,
will be sold at auction by Finch
Bros. on next Tuesday at 2 p. m.
The farm is sub-divided into four
tracts, each of desirable size for a
home. The land is strictly first
class farming soil. It has been
well cared for and is no WORKOUT,

on the market, but is offered for
sale for the reason Mr.. Meek has
reached the age in life when it is no
longer practical for him to attempt
farming. 1t is cut up in just the
right sized tracts and the sale will
doubtless attract many bidders. The
fact that Finch Brothers have charge
of the sale means that it win be a

AUTO AND TRUCK
MEET IN COLLISION

Saturday seems to have been a
very unlucky day for both automo-
biles and trucks out on the fair
ground road, for on that day two
autos and two trucks were wrecked.
In each instance an auto and a truck
came together in head-on collision
and in each case both were wrecked.
The first occurred early in the
morning, when a Trenton truck and
Y. Y, Phillips's car collided, and the
second took place in the afternoon,
when a Maxwell car driven by Earl
Smyth, accompanied by Col. Homer
Alexander, both of Gleason, ran to-
gether at the Matt House hill. Both
were put entirely out commission.
Mr.. Alexander was thrown through
the wind shield by the force of the
impact and sustained "a deep cut in
the corner of the eye, severing a
blood vessel. Blood flowed freely
and when he was got to town Mr..
Alexander was bloody from head to
footg Drs. Taylor and Stephens
dressed his wound and Mr.. R. L.
Suddath put Alexander in his car
and carried him to Gleason.
Mr.. Smyth, accompanied by his
father and friends, came down Sun
day and amicably adjusted the
truck wreckage with the owner, NJ.
L. Pinkston, paying all damages
and agreeing to pay Pinkston the
sum of SIS per day for the loss of
the use of the truck during the fair.
The truck was damaged to an ex-
tent as to put it out Of commission
for several days.

INTEREST CENTERS
ON STR|kEiPROBE
Police Follow Many Clews..
Nothing Definite" Brai-
lovsky Still Held.

New York, Sept 19.-Depart-
ment of justice agents and the po-
lice were still without definite
clue tonight to the identity of the
person or persons responsible for
thursdays explosion in Wall street.
Alexander Bralovsky, a Russian
journalist, arrested on information
furnished by an anonymous CORES
pondent and VINO admitted having
been in the financial district a short
time after the explosion occurred, is
still being held without bail on a
charge of being an undesirable alien.
VIM. ]. Flynn, chief of the bureau
OF Investigation of the Department
of justice, declared tonight he
placed no special significance in
Brailovsky's arrest, but said he was
being questioned and held in con-
Torrance with the departments
plan not to Overlook any bets" and
to follow up all "leads" that NAV
develop in the course of the investi-
cation.
No other charge or suggestion
that Braiiovsky is in any way per-
sonally responsible for the disaster
has yet been made by the authori-
ties. They announced, however,
that he would be questioned further
and an effort made to locate the
three men with whom he was seen
talking at Pine and Nassaue street
less than an hour after the blast.
He vehemently denies being impli-
Gated in the supposed plot.
The only other important devel-
opment within the last "a hours is
the suggestion by Medical Exemi-
ner Norris that the only unidenti-
fled body, that of a blonde-haired
boy about 10, may be that of the
driver of the death wagon" which
was abandoned near the assay office
just before the explosion took place
and which is believed to have car
ried the time bomb that caused the
disaster. Seven "identifications" of
the body were made during the day,
but all proved to be erroneous upon
investigation.
A revised list of the dead to-
night showed that 81 persons had
lost their lives as a result of the ex-
plosion. Some of the previous lists
made the total IS.

AUTO AND TRUCK IN
HEAD-ON COLLISION
Both On Same Side Road and
Glare of Sun Blinds East
Bound Driver. Damage.

An automobile driven by Y. Y,
Phillips, accompanied by W. T.
Murphy, going east, and a truck
from Trenton with bottled goods
en- route to the fair ground, met in
head-on collision west of town
early Friday morning. Both vehic-
les were considerably damaged. =
Mr.. Phillips, at the wheel of the
auto, states that the sun in the
east blinded him to the extent that
he did not see the approaching
truck until too late to detour. His
car was going at about 20 miles an
hour, he says. The truck was heavi-
ly loaded with bottled goods. Both
machines had to be towed to the
garage for repairs, the damage be-
ing heavy. Fortunately, no one was
injured, though receiving severe
shaking up.
The road at that point is quite
wide enough for two vehicles, and
this accident is doubtless the result
of someone being on the wrong
side. If drivers of all kinds of We
hicles would learn the traffic rules
and then follow them to a letter
there would be fewer accidents of
this kind. We don't know who was
to blame in this instance and are
not attempting to say, but surely
one or the other of these vehicles
was on the wrong side.

CASH ECONOMY
TO DISSOLVE
PARTNERSHIP

Announcement is made in today's
Enterprise of the dissolution of the
partnership composing the firm
known throughout the length and
breadth of Weakley county as the
Cash Economy Store at Martin.
We are not informed as to who
will remain and who will retire
from the well know and popular low
price cash firm. The personnel of
the firm at present is composed of
W. R. Garrett, T. M. Ryan and R.
J. Walker, three splendid business
men, Messrs. Garrett and Walker
being experienced dry goods men.
The Cash Economy was launched at
Martin some ten years ago by
Messrs. Garrett and Ryan. It soon
came into public notice by reason
of the low cash values offered the
public through the unique, original
advertising as prepared by Garrett.
Merchandise was sold by the Cash
Economy to citizens from all sections
of the county, attracted by the lib
eral, judicious use of advertising
space, until the Cash Economy be-
came household word in all sec
tons Of the county.

INJUSTICE COTTON
PRICE SITUATION

Cotton farmers are facing a seri-
GUS situation. Our crop is short, but
it has cost more to make than any
crop ever grown. Fertilizers, la
bot5 implements, feed-everythine
in fact, that has gone into the max
ing of the crop-have cost more than
ever before.
But despite these facts, there
seems to be determined effort to
force cotton down to 20 CENTS
just about half what it cost to make
this crop, if our farmers, their
wives and children are to get a de-
cent wage for their labor. Seed
prices, l understand, have opend up
at SGT ton-a figure that is simply
ridiculous, compared with the $50
to $40 we got last year.
When we go to buy bagging and
tie, the price is decidedly higher than
last year. Ginning prices last year
were 80 cents per 100 pounds of
seed cotton. This year the ginners
have boosted the price to 40 cents,
despite the fact that labor is more
plentiful than year ago. Before
the war, cotton was ginned for 10
cents. Is there any warrant for
@harging four times as much now?
At this rate the seed out of bale
of cotton will just about pay for gin
ming and wrapping.
The South has a good many empty
farm houses now, but they are not
a circumstance to what we will have
if this thing keeps up.
If the cotton grower is ever to as
sert his rights, it seems to me that
now is the time. If we give way and
accept 20 cents for our crop, it is
going to mean a certain return to
the starvation wages that Southern
farmers endured for so years fol-
lowing the Civil Wharf.-The Progress

LAST TOBACCOC
SALES DISULTORY

Hopkinsville, KY, Sept. 49,
Though the farmers are now busy
cutting and curing the new crop OF
tebaccc, ddiisdit6ry sales of the 1918
crop still continue. These are light
and only the MEDIOCRE grades are
offered. Prices run low as there is
nothing to spur the buyers to trad
ing, and most of them are shut
down for the summer.
Sales since last report have been
373,715 pounds, bringing the total
for the season to 37,443,715 pounds.
The average since last report was
$9.23 per hundred, and for the sea-
son it is $16.47.
Except for the fields damaged
by rust or "black fire." the crop
now being housed is splendid one
There has been considerable damage
reported from rust or "black fire"
and considerable tobacco has been
cut green that was threatened with
these troubles. Undoubtedly some
farmers became alarmed and cut
their crops green when it was unne-
cessary.
But even with these conditions
prevailing, the bulk of the crop
seems to be unaffected and it is ex-
pected to show well when the selling
season opens in earnest. The buy
ers are keeping in close touch with
the situation and make frequent Wis
its in the field or in the barns.
With the fires running steadily
night and day now in hundreds OF
barns for the purpose Of curing the
tobacco, the usual number Of barn
burnings may be expected. This is
always a precarious time and even
with the best Of care fires will re-
suit. Already few barns have
been destroyed. Mostof the farmers
now carrying insurance. Until very
it was impossible to secure
insurance on the barns and tobacco
until after the curing process had
been completed.

DEATH OF AGED
MOTHER IN ISRAEL.

Mrs. Margaret Clark, widow Of
! the late Frank Clark, died Mon
day night at her home in the 18th
district, following a long illness
due to the infirmities of advanced
age, she being SO years old at the
time of her death.
Mr.. Clark, who was 81 years of
age when he died last fall, was one
of the best know men in that section
of the county. He and Mrs. Clark
lived happily and congenially to-
gether for nearly 60 years, speed
ing all these years on the place
where both died. Mrs. Clark was
the mother of the entire neighbor-
hood. Before advanced age crept
upon her she was seen wherever
there was sickness or distress, a
ministering angel. She always car
ried sunshine into the sick room,
and in her declining years she was
shown every attention by grateful
friends. she was the mother Of
Messrs. Will and Hutch Clark and
several other children whose names
we do not recall just now.
The remains were laid to rest
Tuesday afternoon at Elbethel by
the side OF her late husband.
