There is quite a lot of sickness
through this section. G. B. Fields
has flux, Mrs. ]. G. Miles has had a
light attack of it.
Claud Rowlett and wife left last
Sunday for Minnesota, where he
carried his wife to hospital for an
operation.

Missouri for quite a number of
years, is visiting relatives and
friends here.
The Greenfield Monumental
works put up another rock in the
cemetery at this place on last Thurs
day to the grave of W. J, Coleman.
The meeting at this place closed
last Sunday with baptizing at the
fair grounds. Six from here and
four from Bible Union were bap-
tized. A very large crowd was
present. There were several addi-
tons to the church. Bro. Boston
did good preaching, large crowds
attended each service and the
church was greatly revived.
We are having, some fine showers
through this section which keeps the
ground too wet to pillow and crops
are getting in the grass.
On last Sunday, while en- route
to the fair grounds, l met a truck,
and a very large one, too, loaded
with little boys, seeming about Is
in number. They had a large ban
ner of some kind which they were
waving in the air and yelping as
though they were wild boys, some
were off running after the truck,
others jumping, kicking and doing
as though they were wild. This
scared most every horse it met, be-
sides, it seemed very rude on Sun
day. We didn't know any of them
or where they came from, but hope
they don't live around here and
were just passing through and will
keep going and never return.

Gov. Roberts, while at Columbia
last week, gave out the informa-
ton that Attorney General Frank
Thompson has rendered a decision
with respect to the poll tax require
ments affecting overseas men who
were out Of the state on Jan. 10,
1919.
In effect the opinion of Gen.
Thompson is that returned soldier
may vote in the elections this year
without a poll tax receipt if he was
out of the state on Jan. 10, 1919.
This is equivalent to saying that
the axes for 1919 were assessed on.
Jan. 10, 1919, and, therefore, if any
soldier was not in his home state on
that date he could not have been as
sessed, and the constitution plainly
says "where assessed" with reference
to the poll tax requirement as
qualification for voting. However,
if any ex-service man was in the
state on the above mentioned date,
then he would stand upon an equal
footing with civilian was here and
had not qualified for voting by the
payment of his 1919 poll tax 80 days
prior to the election.
No news has been received in
Dresden and Weakley county since
the signing of the armistice that has
caused greater rejoicing than this
information brought in Thursday
afternoons Nashville Banner, and
Immediately the Enterprise stopped
work on everything else and had

eral distribution throughout the

Gov, Roberts is receiving the
thanks of the soldier boys for the
part he has played in bringing this
decision to the general public.
