Child's Tongue Cut
in Two, Auto Accident

The small child Of Mr.. and Mrs,
Lenzie Mitchell, living near Pisgah
church, either bit its tongue in two
or got it cut in two Sunday in an
auto accident near Walkers Chapel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell were in
their car, with Mrs. Mitchell driv-
ing. Mr.. Mitchell held the child in
his lap. 1t appeared to Lenzie that
Mrs. Mitchell was about to drive the
car into a mail box post and he I'M
dertook to take hold of the steering
wheel from his side of the car.
When he did so he knocked the gas
oline lever down, which caused the
car to shoot forward at rapid rate
and across the road, heading into a
tree.
1t is not known whether the child
bit its tongue or whether it was cut
by some of the glass from the wind
shield, but it was so near in two
that the physician, DR.. Taylor, from
Latham, cut part of the tongue off.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell both escaped
with minor injuries, but the car was
badly wrecked.

season with considerable drop in
the mercury in the course of two or
three hours. Upon arising Wednes-
day morning people found it raining

the course of three hours time ev-
eryone began to get out heavy
coats and sweaters in order to be in
style with the season. This change
was almost as sudden as the change
in the style of wamens' hats of late
years. This change came as a sur
prise to most everyone. Upon get

COMMUNITY FAIR
NEXT WEEK. MARTIN
Date Has Not Been Changed.
Big Premium List and Mer-
itorious Show Promised

There seems to be an impression
among some that there has been a
change made in the announced
dates for Martins big Community
Fair, but Mr. Ellis informs the En-
terprise the fair will be held on the
dates originally announced in the
Enterprise-Friday and Saturday,
Nov. 10 and 10.
Get the dates we'll and firmly
fixed in your minds, and then get
your mind firmly made up that you
are going, to enjoy this occasion,
which promises many attractive
features.
Martin business men and public
spirited citizens have contributed
most generously to a premium list,
and every premium offered is well
worth trying for.
The Enterprise is publishing the
complete program and premium list
in today's paper. It has always
been the policy of this paper to CO.
operate in every good move in
every section of the county, for
whatever benefits Weakley county
concerns the county newspaper, and
we bespeak for the Martin Commu-
nifty Fair success.
Mr.. Ellis informs US that every
thing is in perfect readiness for
one of the best community fairs
held in the state this year. He
urges all those who have exhibits to
get them in place as early as posi-
BILE. With continued fair weather
large crowds are expected, and it is
the desire of the committee that the
exhibits be ready for the inspection
of the crowds upon their arrival in
Martin.
Some of the Martin merchants
are offering special low prices for
the two days as a further induce
nent to attend the fair. These
prices will be found in today's En-
terprise. a..
Direct your friends to meet you
at the Community Fair next Friday
and Saturday,

60-ODD RABBITS BAGGED
BY MAN IN ONE NIGHT

Mr.. Ed Doran, the faithful ope-
rator at Palmersville, informs us
that on last Friday night Uncle
Have Henderson, of the Palmers-
vile vicinity set his rabbit gums
and the nights catch totaled 60
odd rabbits-and it wasn't a good
night for rabbits, either. master
James Moran will please take
note.)
Mr.. Henderson sold the rabbits to
jess Bowlin for 1855. Mr.. Hen
derson says that as long as he can
get Is to zoe each for rabbits, and
as long as the supply is as plentiful
as at the present time, the low price
of corn and tobacco and hay and
cotton don't bother him much, for
making 1896 night catching rab-
bits will keep the wolf from the
door. Some of the balance of us
who are in habit of complaining
about the low price of farm prod
ucs might take lesson from the
agsd mans example.

No Market for Mules
Dogs Bring Big Price

There was an unusually Large
crowd in Dresden last Monday,
many bringing horses and mules to
town to sell and swap. However,
there was little market for either,
though hound dogs were in demand
and brought big prices
One dog sold for $500, while the
best price offered for a mule here
on the same day was only $65.
Hunters are stocking up with good
coon and 'possum dogs and the sup
ply is far short of the demand. A
large number of hound dogs were
sold here Monday, every one at
what a few years ago would have
been considered a good price.

on Withdrawal of Rule.
Large Attendance

Mckenzie, Tenn, Nov, 8.-Mo-
lions for the withdrawal of the
four-year limit for pastors in the
Methodist Church, south, to serve
at one post, will be made tomorrow
or next day at the eighty-second
session of the Memphis Conference,
which opened here tonight with a
powerful sermon delivered by Rev.
E. B. Ramsey of Humboldt, Tenn,
formerly pastor of Central Method
list church, now St. Johns church in
Memphis.
Rev. J. NJ. Pickens, presiding eld-
er of the Paris (Tenn.l District,
and official host of the conference,
announced tonight that he would
head group of delegates favoring
the adjustment of the old custom,
slightly modified at the last gen
eraI conference, when it was ruled
that in cases of emergency a pastor
might be allowed to serve five years
in one church. The four-year limit
instituted when the Memphis Con-
ference was organized, So years
ago, according to Rev. L. H. Estes,
conference secretary,
Sentiment among the 400 clerical
and lay delegates assembled here
seems to favor the motion, which
will, if carried, be put before the
general conference schedule to open
in Hot Springs, Ark, in May 1922.
Regular conference business will
be inaugurated at 9 o'clock tomor-
row morning, when Bishop James
Atkins of WaynesviIle, N. c., presi-
dent of the conference board, will
call the roll and pass on the commit
tee appointments.
Rev. G. c. Fain, pastor OF the
First Methodist church, welcomed
the delegates to Mckenzie and in
troduced the Rev. f. B. Ramsay,
whose opening sermon was based on
text from Ephesians, "Be not
drunk with wine, but filled with the
holy spirit Of God"
Rev. A, j. Meaders of Murray,
KY, was in charge Of the commun-
ion service which followed the SER
mon.
After a sermon, during which he
quoted frequently from the Old and
New Testaments, urging that the
spirit of the Lord be foremost as the
goal toward which all christians
should strive. Rev. Ramsay urged
all delegates to think more of the
spiritual messages brought to the
annual meeting" and clog rolling"
which invariably precedes general
conference.
MAY God help US to have the
greatest conference in the history
of our beloved church." he said at
the close of his sermon, which was
enthusiastically received by an au-
dience that filled the church edifice.

field Gridiron. Big Crowd
Witness Struggle

Greenfield, Nov. 8.-(Special.l
The Greenfield Tigers HefeaEed
the McFerrin Tigers of Martin here
last Saturday by the score of 81 TO
0. This was one of the hardest
fought games ever played on the To-
cal gridiron and probably the larg-
est crowd that ever saw a game in
this section was here Saturday. A
platform 100 feet long and IL feet
wide was built back of the ,gridiron
to accommodate the crowd. The
of about 500 was treated to one of
the best prep school games in the
entire south. McFerrin was simply
outplayed and outgeneraled at ev-
cry point of the game. Wakefield
led the scoring with three touch
downs with Kirby and C. Brock
next with one each. Wakefield
only kicked / goal out of 5 chances.
The G. T. S. goal line was really
never in danger, penalty of Is
yards carried the ball to their 81
yard line, but Wakefield punted
out of danger. The entire G. T. S.
team starred, while Ship and B.
Williams starred for McFerrin.

night after the game. Passes were
given at the Majestic to the entire
squad with their lady friends. At
ter the show, the entire party went

when every one went home, happy
over the game, the party and every
thing in life.

effort to interest the charwomen in
keeping clean the statue of the three

selves with scrubbing brushes, soap
and buckets of water and invaded the

Those who appealed to the char

iition. and Miss Levinia Eagan of LOU
Isiana. a member Of the party council.
