Tobacco Cutting Be-
coming General; Rust

Tobacco cutting is pretty general
over the county this week. Many
growers are cutting earlier than they
expected because Of the appearance
of rust. However complaint of this
plant disease is not so general as
last year, when many crops were cut
green to head off the ravages Of
rust, resulting in an inferior quality
of tobacco.
This year the crop is more gener-
orally matured than last year, and
will theefore make better quality
of tobacco. One grower said to us
the other day that he found the rust
spread after the leaf was housed
and to head it off he began immedi-
ately firing his tobacco, that he be-
lieved it helped to stop the advance
of rust to that not affected. The crop
this year is an exceptionally fine
one and will doubtless bring sat
isfactory price, since there is a
strong demand for good leaf.

Huntingdon, Tenn, Aug. &c.
News reached here today of kill
ing in the eastern part of the county
as the result of shooting between
revenue officers, who were on a
raid in that community, and Roy
Hampton and his father, Will
Hampton. Roy Hampton was killed
outright and his father was shot
three times and it is thought will
die. Another party who was with
the Hamptons escaped. 1t occurred
in a remote section of the county and
near the Benton and Decatur county
line and the facts pertaining to the
matter are meager. The revenue
officers reached the community OF
the killing early this morning and
it seems that in their efforts to To-
cate the still they came in contact
with the Hamptons in a corn field

IT'SPOSS|BLE TO|SSUEB ONDSFORSCHOOL BUILDING
ALL SCHOOLS TO
START ON MONDAY
Vacation Days Are Over and
School Days Begin. Full At
tendance Being Urged

Practically all the schools Of the
county will open next Monday, Sept,
5, for the fall term. Some schools
in the south part of the county have
been doing work for some weeks
beginning about Aug. 1, and others
will not be able &c start next Mon
day, because OF repairing and re.
hui ding. This is true at Palmers-
vile, where handsome, modern
$4,000 school building is in course
of construction.
Boys and girls will enter upon the
term with renewed energy and a
stronger determination to excel
than, perhaps, at any previous term,
There never has been time in the
history of Weakley county when the
subject of education was so strongly
urged as the present. School Off
Gals are insisting upon regular dali
Iy attendance. This will be absolute
ly necessary if Weakley county gets
her just quota of public school
funds from the state. These funds
are apportioned, not on scholastic
population, as was true under the
old law, but upon daily attendance,
and parents and guardians would do
we'll to keep this fact in mind, see
ing that all children are in school
every day possible,
We are entering upon new era,
educationally, in Weakley county.
Many of our best teachers who
sought other avenues of livelihood
several years ago have returned.
Numbers of them have been in school
all during the summer and all the
year better equipping themselves for
school work. All over the county
new school buildings are being
erected, others are being enlarged,
and the rural population has caught
the idea of educating their children
at home, rather than sell the old
farm and move to town, as got to be
the custom twenty years ago, when
there were none but the one-room
school building outside the towns.
But today, thank God, and men like
Foster Fuqua, the rural children
have educational advantages the
equal of any town in the county.
The Enterprise wants to share in
this good work. It wants to co-ope-
rate with every teacher in the coun-
ty and would be glad to have all
items of interest concerning school
work.

SCHOOL DISPLAYS
FEATURE At FAIR
Many Schools to Compete for
First Honors. New Hog
Pens. Booster Trips

A feature of the Weakley county
fair this year promises to be the
large number of attractive school
displays. Supt. Fuqua and Miss
Duggan both are cooperating and
they never fail in their efforts. Ev-
cry school in the county is urged to
bring display to the fair. Spaces
have been designated for these dis
plays and fair visitors will see one
of the most attractive features of
the fair in these.
The building committee has just
completed flooring all the hog pens
and in addition will build a portable
fence for the purpose of showing
hogs. A number of breeders prom
Use to bring their hogs here. At
least three Duroc breeders will be
at the fair with their herds, while
Poland Chinas, Hampshires, ETC.,
will be shown in large numbers.
A special committee has been
named composed of R. E. Ellis, Lee
Brasfield and Joe L. Holbrook to
plan a programme for the two
special days-Martin- Greenfield and
Sharon-Gleason. These days last
year were quite successful, but this
year the plan is to have special
programs arranged for those days.
The Martin band will have charge
of the Martin day and the Green
field Cicic League will look after
Greenfield's interests. Mr.. H. L.
Smith, of the Sharon school, in CO.
operation with a committee, will or
ganize Sharon for the Sharon-Glea-
son day, while Prof. H. D. Hunter,
of the Gleason High School, will see
that Gleason is we'll represented.
On both these days special programs
will be rendered. See the catalogue
for special premiums to be awarded
on the two special days.
A boosting trip will be made over
the county by the fair officials
carrying the Dresden band, concerts
being given at a number of places,
advertising matter distributed and
short talks made.
The association has closed con-
tract for an airplane, on the wings
of which the nervy, gritty flyer will
do all kinds of stunts, such as stand
ing on his head, dancing, swinging
by his legs from the cross sections,
etc. This will be special free at

VETERAN DRUGGIST
SELLS BUSINESS
w. r. BObbitt, for 81 Years in
the Local Drug Trade, Re-
tires, Account of Health
Bernice Terrell, Druggist.


That is the style of Dresden's new
est mercantile establishment, grow
ing out of the sale this week by W.
R. Bobbitt of his drug store, stock,
fixtures and all, to his pharmacist,
Bernice Terrell, son Of DR.. ]. B, L.
Terrell.
For year Mr.. Bobbitt has been
in poor health. His physician has
advised him to retire from business,
but not until this week did Mr.. Bob
bit get the full consent of his mind
to do so-then he did it, just like
Walter Bobbitt has always done,
once he became convinced a thing
was right.
Mr.. Bobbitt came here in 1884
and embarked in the drug business.
He has been here in that business
ever since, with one interlnission of
several months, when, during the
big fire of November, 1894, his
store, together with most of the
west side, including the Dresden
Bank, was burned. Mr.. Bobbitt had
one way of dealing with the public
straight from the shoulder. He
has been courteous to all. He has
been satisfied with a fair profit.
His trade has extended far and away
beyond the regular trade territory
of Dresden business men. There's
a reason for it--everybody has adj
mired Bobbitt personally and has
appreciated his open, fair business
methods. Dresden has never had a
more popular business man nor pri-
vate citizen than. Walter Bobbitt.
He is always generous when help is
needed for any cause, and really,
his legion of friends are glad that
he has retired, because it will af-
ford them a closer relation with him.
His successor is a fine young man,
we'll worthy the public confidence
and esteem. Mr.. Terrell has been
with Mr.. Bobbitt for number of
years. He entered the service of
his country in the world war and
went to France, but his position
was held open to him, and upon his
return he took up the work again.
No more reliable, genteel, trust
worthy young man is to be found
than Bernice Terrell, and the editor
of this paper, his friend, wishes him
mighty well.

Popular Pastor is
Pounded by People

Members of the Baptist church
and friends gathered last Thursday
evening, after the shades of evening
had fallen at the home of Rev. and
Mrs. T. N. Hale with huge baskets
and boxes and buckets and bundles
of everything good for a preacher
and his family. There was candy for
the little Hales, things for the big
Hales, meat and bread and canned
vegetables, jellies and preserves, and
SO on, for all the Hales, who were
fairly bubbling over with profound
gratitude for those dear good
friends. Bro. Hale says that his lot
has never been cast among finer
people in his whole life and that he
says, "Thank you" to all, with an
invitation to call again.

FAMOUS WILL CASE
A CLOSED CHAPTER
Will of Late Mary E. AIexan-
der Set Up in Circuit Court.
Second Hearing of Case

The final chapter in the now ia
mouse Alexander will case came
Tuesday, when the will was duly set
up and probated in circuit court.
The will case of the late Mrs.
Mary E. Alexander, wherein there
was a contest tried at the April,
last, term of circuit court, and new
trial ordered by the court, came up
again on Tuesday of this week, and
the will was duly proven before a
jury, the jury giving a verdict in
favor of the will, which was duly set
up and probated as the last will of
Mrs. Mary Alexander. The court
ordered that a certified copy of the
jury's verdict and the judgment of
the circuit court be sent down to the
county court and there entered upon
the minutes of that court.
The former contestants of Mrs.
Alexander's will withdrew their con-
test and only few minutes were re-
quired in setting up the will as she
had made and executed it.
This dispoSes of case involving
some $4,000 worth of property. 1t
will be remembered that the case
was tried at the April term and that
the verdict of the jury was against
the will. After the verdict of the
jury was rendered, Jones & Jones,
attorneys for Junior Stoker, execu-
tor of the will, moved the court for
new trial and the court promptly
set aside the jury's verdict.
Under the agreement of the par
ties and their attorneys, the sum of
$4,000 was given the contestants in
addition to the amounts provided for
in the will. Thus ends a law suit
that created quite deal of interest
over the county. Under the will the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
gets about $4,000, going to the
cause of education, to old, worm
out ministers and to missions, also
fund for the church at New Salem.
