100 DOG LAW CASES
TOBE TR|EDATTE
Four Weeks Term Circuit
Court Prophesied for De-
cember. Big Civil Cases

Clerk Brann informs the Enter
prise reporter that the present out
look is for a four weeks term of cir
cult court, to convene here next Mon
day. The docket is a heavy one and
unless some Of the larger cases are
either withdrawn or continued the
entire month of December will be
required to clear it.
At the last term of court, in Au-
gust, there were something like 100
indictments found against violators
of the dog law, failure to register
dogs as required by law A number
of those against whom true bills
were returned have since paid off
the cases, but at the present time 100
of the number stand for trial.
There are four big civil cases on
the docket, as follows: Paul Walker
VS.. l.. T. Smith This is the celebrat-
ed case from the west part of the
county in which young Walker all
leges that the defendant, Smith,
took his young wife, who is the
daughter of Smith, away from him a
few hours after marriage in Union
City. He is sueing to recover S1O,-
| 600 damages Jack Freeman VS.. M.
, W. A., seeking to recover an insur-
ance policy on the life Of the late
Sam Freeman. G. S. Bond VS.. Geo.
Pierce. This is case wherein the
plaintiff alleges the alienation Of the
affections of his wife and is seeking
to recover damages These cases will
reou re more than week OF the
courts time.
There are six divorce cases on the
docket, and the criminal docket is
very heavy, says Clerk Brann, en-
bracing a large number of larceny
cases and persons indicted for viola"
ton of the bone-dry laws.
The will contest suit OF ID. A.
Burkhalter VS.. Eula Cleary will re-
ouire several days,
Thus it will be seen that Judge
Elkins, Gen. Morris, Clerk Brann'
Sheriff Bullock and other court Of
ficials and members Of the bar are
confronted with a long grind.

ERROR IN MAYNARD
IN REEDS CORN YIELD

The Mergenthaler last week made
the Enterprise say that Maynard
Reeds corn yield was 33 bushels
per acre, when, in fact it was 81.
Pshaw! Maynard's daddy can
grow SO bushels OF corn to the acre,
We humbly beg your pardon, May
nard. Yet, had the error not been
made YOU would have missed all this
extra publicity which the other boys
making corn exhibits are not get
ting. So, it isn't so bad after all, is
it?

SPECIAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS EXEMPT
Article in Last Weeks Enter
prise With Reference to
Court Decision Talk

The article in last weeks Enter
prise relative to decision by the
supr>me court, aid which opinion,
by the way, was delivered by Judge
Frank P. Hall, has occasioned no
small degree of comment throughout
Weakley county, the Enterprise gives
space to the appended article, taken
from last weeks Paris Partisan:
"This decision was rendered in a
case brought by trustees of the
Oneida High School Of Scott county,
a special school district created By
Chaper 371 of the private acts Of
1915, against the Scott county board
of education, organized under Chap
ter 100 of the acts of 1921, to Sc
cure the control of the Oneida High
School. The board of education con-
tended that the special school dis
trict had been placed under the SUI
spervision of the county board by the
act of 1921, and that the trustees OF
the special school district had been
abolished by the later act.
Continuing the provisions of sec
ton II of the act of 1921, that the
act should not apply to or limit 'the
duties of such special school districts
as may have already been created in
this state by the legislature" the
supreme court held that the act of
1921 does not either expressly or by
implication repeal or modify the ear
lier act creating the special school
district, and that it was the intention
of the legislature in enacting the
statute of 1921 'to exempt from the
operation of said act special school
districts which had been created pri-
or to its passage and which were
in existence at the time of it's pas
sage" The court held, therefore,
that the trustees of the Oneida spe-
cial district were entitled to manage
and control the schools without in
reference from the county board
An opinion for publication was filed
in this case by Justice Hall.

Mrs. Freeman First
To Pay a Poll Tax

To Mrs. Ruth Freeman, depu-
ty register in Segister Free
mans office goes the distinction
of being the first woman in
Weakley county to pay a poll
tax. Mrs. Freeman's poll tax was
paid last Friday, just after the
tax books had been made out.
History will record this fact
to the future generations. But
doubtless many women will pay
the tax before the first of the
year.

ter stock and creating a demaud for

to the community. Little interest was
taken, and the gift was accepted with
reluctance. The community was made
up of small farms and there were few
cows.
Following this a dairymen's picnic
and exhibition of live stock was held,
and as a result of extension work car
ried on by the dairy division Of the
department in cooperation with Glenn
son Agricultural college more people
became interested and bought cows.
In 1917 a cooperative bull association
was organized, from which developed
live stock show, and the members Of
the association developed a keen inter-
est in comparing the dairy animals
they raised.
Another show was held In 1920, at
which prizes, offered by merchants and
