people. Mr.. Mayo and bride left on
the $50 train for Memphis, and
from there will go to Jackson, Miss,
where Mr.. Mayo has position with
wholesale grocery house. Mr..
Mayo, it will be remembered, was
the first of our overseas heroes to
return who had been wounded in
battle, and upon his return he was
given a splendid reception. He is
a young man of sterling qualities
and enjoys the esteem and conf
dence of a wide circle of friends.
His fair bride was born and reared
in Dresden, where she has been
social favorite, by reason of her
charming personal disposition.
Mr.. Little and Miss McCuan were
joined in holy wedlock at the home
of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. A. McCran, one hour later, at 6
o'clock, Elder W. F. Ethtridge, for
mer pastor of the Christian church
here, officiating. The McCuan
home had been artistically and bril-
liantly decorated in autumn flowers
for the happy event, and a large
circle of relatives and friends gath
cred to witness the ceremony. Mr..
and Mrs. Little left on the evening
train for St. Louis, and will be at
home to their friends in Memphis
after November /. Mr.. Little is
the son of Mr.. T. M. Little. He
holds a, position Of responsibility
with drug firm in Memphis. He
is a splendid young man, ambitious,
energetic and reliable and is admired
and esteemed by a wide circle of
friends for his many splendid quail
ties. Mrs. Little has been favor
tie in Dresden, where she was born
and reared, since early girlhOod.
She is a charming musician and

personalities which have endeared
her to legion of friends.
All unite in wishing for these
happy people the very best there is

The statement made public today,
sets forth the belief of its signers
that it's present leadership has per-
mitted the republican party to be-
come little American" party. 1t
has been diverted from the policy

establishing a closer understanding
among the nations of the world.

try to share fully in the great de-

are invited to join the revolt.

appended to the statement are Is Of
the 20 republican officers of the
League to Enforce Peace, which
has worked consistently for 20
months to win support for the
league of nations. The presidents
of the leading women's colleges of
the country, Vassar, Smith, Mount
Holyoke and Byrn Mawr, and Of
Oberlin, the first co-educational
colleges, are among the signers.
Among former republicans or
progressive party managers and Of
ficeholders are in addition to Her
bert Parsons, Alderman Charles P,
Rowland Of New York City. who is

league; Violet M. Leroy, former

SON former member of the repubi-
can county committee Of New York

BUILDING MATE
RIAL TAKES DROP

Up to the present date there has
been less building done in Weakley
county this fall than for a sumber
of years past, due, presumably, to
the high cost of building material,
but if dealers follow the lead taken
by the City Lumber Co., of Martin
building operations will take on
new life.
Building material is going down,
as shown by the page ad in tOday's
Enterprise of the City Lumber Co.,
and we confidently expect to see a
general resumption in building at
once. Many farmers, as we'll as
others, have been delaying their
usual fall building operations,
awaiting the lowering of prices on
building material, which, it seems,
has become a reality. Building ma
terial of all kinds was among the
first to airplane in price, due to the
demands of the war department for
material in constructing cantone-
ments and encampments, practically
the entire output Of the whole coun-
try being requisitioned for that pur-
pose, forcing the balance of US to
suspend operations until this time.

YOUNG MEN CHARGED
WITH WIFE DESERTIoN

Sheriff Bullock went to Bemis on
Tuesday and arrested two young
men, Labe Travis and Willie Travis,
on a state warrant charging wife
desertion. They made bond after
reaching Dresden in the sum of
$3.50 each for their appearance here
before Judge Hill next Friday.
Their wives were sisters, the daugh-
tiers Of Tom Bates, a well known

CAR RUNS INTO BUGGY;
CHILDREN THROWN OUT

A car, driven by Robt. Vincent,
ran into the rear of the buggy oc-
cupied by the children of Ben Cook,
on Thursday of last week, wrecking
the buggy and throwing the children
out. The car struck the buggy
from the rear. The accident
occurred on the road west of town,
in the deep dust, which, perhaps,
accounts for the collision. Both
children, Mr.. Cook, informs the
Enterprise, were thrown out and on
fence nearby, but neither was bad
ly injured.

SHARP RECOVERY IN
PRICES OF COTTON

Mex York, Oct. 19.-RecOvery Of
more than a cent a pound in cotton
market was shown during the early
trading hours here today.
December contracts, which sold
off to 1880 yesterday, advanced to
1895 owing to the unexpectedly
strong showing of Liverpool and
less active selling by Southern in
trests. Unofficial reports from
the Southwest said holding Of spot

Do You Want II Back?

Do the saloonatics want the saloon back?
The high license tumor that grew on the
corner OF your neighborhood? And. like the
tumorLit grew and flourished. sucking its
power from the body II grew on.
Do you want back the sober bartender
stretching an octave on the cash register with
your Jack? Does the thought of delrium
tremens. busted shoes, and patched trousers
make you homesck?
Do you want Jaxzbo's silver Dollar Saloon
back on your daily menu! Remember the
floor was spangled with big, iron boys? 1t
was beautiful floor, but tough on your feet.
Isn't It better to get corns on your hands
from holding onto your money than buttons
your feet from walking on it?
After the cash register had played "Taps'
in honor Of your last dime, could you reach
down and grab one of those silver boys7 Try
and do it
Remember the famous Shoomaker's in
Washington, celebrated as the birthplace of the
gin rickey7 The birthplace of the gin rckey
and the dcathplace Of the GIN rickey drinkers.
Want that back?
The distilled bloom of alcoholic youth is
fading from your nose. Do you think you
are being cheated out of the capillary tremors
that used to make your shin twitch like an
army mule trying to shake off hoss fly that
amt on him? Want that back!
Going over Niagara Falls in a barrel isn't
dangerous as the little Niagara that used
to come out OF the barrel. You got your falls
later. Do you miss the old headaches that
used to make you feel like Hog Island at the
height of the rivet season? Want 'em back?
Kultur's use OF liquid fire during the war
was an awful thing. but there amt any differ
ence between liquid fire in tho battle and
liquid fire in a bottle. Do you want to be
scorched again7
There Is no deadlock between right and
wrong. A plebiscite Of the alumni of Kelley
College would show that not ono of them
wants to go back for a post graduate course.
The man who doesn't want the saloon back
Is the same man who hated to see 1t go.
He's cured.

Enthusiasts on the Job
It's the Army of Low Sslarisd Workers That Keeps
the Government Moving.
the Government Moving.

There will be a new Presidential administration March
4, and it pretty certain that it will be OF
different political party from the present one.
That will mean probably entire change in the heads
of the various Government departments.
But under civil service the departments will 60 right
on The people who have looked to any Of the great in
sttutons centered in Washington for certain bit Of
service, will find that service still being given.
That is because the real work of the departments ID
done not much by the heads whom the President ap
points, by small army of and women, heads Of
minor divisions Of the departments who remain year in
and year out and know the business could
know it.
Not only that but they wrap up their lives in the pride
of their work
Hundreds of these people could get salaries out
side the Government service than they get in it, That
true especially Of the scientists in the Department of the
Interior and the Department of Agriculture.
They go right on working out the objects in which
they find chance to be Of service.
One of these scientists who is head Of the bureau
recommended for increase in salary He wanted in
crease of appropriation for his work When there
movement to cut down the departments budget in the
Congressional committee he went before the committee and
fought for the bureau appropriation letting his salary
increase CO.
Many sharp things have been said about loading IN
the Government payroll; but there patriots there
well elsewhere.

Possibly you don't dance or talk well as
you imagine. Your opinion of yourself Is
rather a high one. You may make others
feel this and nothing can be less attractive
than conceit--unless II Is ill-grounded con-

A Worthless Woman.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ had been going about with girl for
two years, and asked her to be my wife.
She consented and said we would marry as
soon as I could start a Nome. I began to
save, and let her bank the money for me.
her love had grown cold and she had de-
cided not to marry me, but she has not re-
turned my money.
I still love her. but do not know what to
do ENSIGN.
You might charge the money up to profit
escape to get rid of the girl as cheaply as
this She isn't worthy. ] suppose she's a
calcula lating adventures. Don't fight her for
the money. Be glad you learned to-save, and
be still Eladder that you aren't married to
a woman who is proving herself so unworthy.
