FORCES CHECK
FOR TEN DOLLARS

raigned last Tuesday before Esq. T.
A. Lewis, on a charge of forgery,
on complaint of Chas. Woods, who
cashed a check for $40 for the negro
with Fuller Bros. signature at
tached to same. When presented at
the Weakley County Bank, they pro-
nounced it forgery.
Mr.. Woods swore out warrant
for the negro, but on payment of
the amount by Gardner, dropped the
case and refused to prosecute.
However, it is believed the next
grand jury will take action on the
case, as it is alleged this is only one
of several "phony" checks that have
been put in circulation in the past
few days by Gardner.

Fine Specimens of Tobacco

Fine Specimens of Tobacco v
1t has been pretty generally con-
coded that the growing crop of to-
bacco is inferior, but from the large
number of very fine specimens
brought to the Enterprise office we
conclude that some body has got to
change his guess, for we never saw
bigger leaves nor finer types. Just
last Saturday, Mr.. J. R. Blanksnship,
one of the best tobacco growers in
this vicinity, brought to this office
two leaves, one of what is termed
"bullface" measuring 24x37k
inches and another of improved one
sucker which measured 22hx35
inches.

Friends Of the man in high public
Office are wont to tell him the things
he likes to hear in discussing affairs
so personal as the conduct OF his
office. and it doubtless was some
thing OF a shock to Secretary of War
Baker recently when he got an honest
estimate Of himself from a doughboy.
On a trip from Washington to Balti-
more. Mr.. Baker sat beside one OF
the lads who went through the hell Of
the Argonne forest where artillery
support was lacking for days and
where German airplanes met little OPP
position as they raked the American
lines with machine gun bullets.
The doughboy didn't mean to be i'm
polite, but ne didn't know who Mr.
Baker was and when the subject OF
the war was touched on he told in
unyarnished doughboy English just
what he thought Of the war depart
ment and its head.
The secretary sat through the or
deal mute and dumb ana when they
arrived in the Maryland metropolis
had the appearance OF the hat on
which Mrs O'Flanngau sat I'm
doubtedly he learned lot in the
hours run, but it came TOO late.
