SCHOOL OFF|CERsiTO
Be ELECTED NJULY.
July Term of County Court to
Elect County Board of
Education. New Law

Acting under a new law enacted
by the last legislature, the county
court of Weakley county will, at it's
July term, elect a county board of
education consisting of seven mem
bers for Weakley county.
This law is quite complicated, but
if we understand it the requirement
is for seven members to constitute
the county board of education, TAX
ing the place of the present board of
1--we members. This new law repeats
the present law and directs that the
offices OF the county high board of
education, county board of edcation,
district advisory board and district
school directors shall be abolished and
that in the future all public schools
in each county of the state, both ele-
mentary and high schools, shall be
under the management and control
of county board of education COM
posed of seven members.
We are informed that even the
Dresden school, which is a special
school district, will be under the jul
+ sdiction of this board, and it is
presumed that every other special
school district in the county will be,
though we are not certain as to this.
Politics ought to play no figure
in the selection of the members of
this board. And we are quite sure
that our county court will give US
the right kind of men to manage our
public schools in Weakley county.
There is no question, no issue, no
single thing that demands right now
more careful consideration and cool,
deliberate action than that of the ed
ucat'On of our young people.
When conditions reach that stage
that a great fraternal order deems
it necessary to step in and take a
hand, as has been done in Tonnes
see with regard to the proper edu-
cation of the youth of our state,
then it behooves the balance of us
to bestir ourselves.
Let no mistake be made in the Sc
lection of the men who are to man.
age our public schools. The law itself
may not now suit and please all of
us, but it cannot be altered or
changed at this time. We must get
the very best out of it that it pos
sesses-and leading educators of
the state claim much for it. They
ought to know. As for the Enter
prise, we are willing for their iudg-
ment to prevail

BIG 5-DAY CARNIVAL
STARTS WEDNESDAY
l. C. r. r. Officials to Inspect
Fairgrounds. Program of
Fun and Entertainment

Beginning next Wednesday, Mar
tin will present to the fun-loving
public of Weakley county five days
of genuine amusement, closing on
Monday, July 4, with big day.
Every day during the five there
will be interesting features for both
old and young. Prominent officials
of the |. G. railroad will spend a
couple of days in Martin and dur
ing the time will officially inspect
the park and play ground.
The park now has quite num-
Der of rare and interesting speci-
mems Of wild animals and beautiful
fowls, outranking anything to be
seen in West Tennessee, outside of
Memphis. In fact, this has been voted
the most complete park and play
ground in the state, except
ing the large cities. There will be
nearly every kind of innocent and
harmless amusement for old and
young. The business men of Martin,
besides their big sales day on next
Wednesday, when they offer some
rare bargains, are squarely behind
this carnival. It is entirely home
talent, So do not get it into your
head that there will be lot Of vul-
gar songs, etc. Nothing Of the kind.
Just a good, old fashioned coming
together of the people of the coun-
ty in the good-old-fashioned way.
The boy Scout band of 80 pieces,
we'll trained and thoroughly schooled,
will make music every day.

SELL
FOR $3.50 A CRATE
Carl Swearingen Makes Clean
Up on Three-Acre Patch.
Wild Berries in Demand

1t was reported on the streets
here Tuesday that on Monday black.
berries sold at Greenfield for $3.50
per crate and that the wild berries
were being shipped from Sharon,
bringing $3.50 per crate.
There never was such demand
for blackberries as at the present
time. The city markets cannot be
supplied, even with the heavy ship
ments going to the cities daily. 1t
is said that thousands of city dwell
ers who have been accustomed to
liquor for. years and years, but who
are now deprived of this beverage,
are buying blackberries by the dozens
of crates each and making the ber-
ries into wine. This, doubtless, is
true, evidenced by the unprecedent-
ed demand for blackberries.
The yield of wild blackberries this
year is larger than ever known be-
fore and the quality is exceptionally
fine, and great crowds are gathering
them for various uses. Even old
bachelors who have but the one use
for the berries are going daily to
the bottoms and picking berries.
Three men from Dresden gathered
20 gallons one day this week.
There can be no doubt but that our
people are making a serious mistake
by failing to go into the industry on
a large scale. However, a number
have planned to put out patches this
fall, and those who are interested
in the matter are asked to meet Mr..
King Webb at his office Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Two Autos and Two
Buggies Engage in
Street Mix-Up Here

Two autos and two buggies en-
gagged in bout here Sunday or the
street south of the lumber barn, re-
sulting in the buggies being knocked
out the first round. There were nu-
merous refrees and each declared the
auto victorious.
The car that administered the
knock out blow was driven by Ster-
ling McCuan. Full particulars are
not obtainable, but it is understood
McCuan was going in one direction
and another car meeting him. He
thought the car coming toward him
was turning out or going another
street, but it did not. In front of
him and between the McCuan car
and the car coming were a couple of
buggies which were stopped in the
street, and McCuan's car bumped
into them. The fore wheels Of one
buggy were completely wrecked and
the axle of the other bent. One of
the horses did not like the near
of the car and made an
effort to get into it, getting his fore
feet right up on the side of the car.
Fortunately no one was serious
ly injured.

CHARGEDW|THROB.
B|NGBROCKSSTORE
Three Men Placed in Jail by
Sheriff Charged With Steal
ing Is Suits of Clothes

Through the untiring efforts of
Sheriff Bullock and Marshal Tom
Grooms, three men were arrested
in Hickman on Thursday Of last
week charged with robbing Brock
Bros. dry goods store at Greenfield
on the night of May 8, getting IS
suits of fine clothing which had just
been received by the firm.
The men are John Browning, IS
years of age and married; Robt.
Mckinney, 80 years of age, and HUI
bert Chroat, married. These parties
formerly resided in the vicinity of
Greenfield, but for some months
they have lived at Hickman, where
also Br. Brock has brother-in-law,
who observed these men wearing
good, new clothing shortly after he
learned of the robbery at Greenfield
and an investigation was made, which
resulted in finding where they had
SO d a number of the suits to par
ties in Hickman. They had sold all
except three suits, which they had on
when arrested last Thursday They
implicated a fourth party, whose ar
rest is expected hourly.
A full confession has been made.
It is stated by the men that they
left Hickman late in the afternoon,
arriving at Greenfield after night
fall. They left their car one mile
from town, walked into Greenfie d,
robbed the store and then walked
back to the spot where their car had
been left, driving back to Hickman
that night.
The suits had just been received
by Messrs. Brock Bros. & Co. They
were covered with sheet and it was
the merest accident that the robbery
was discovered, as the covering had
been neatly and orderly replaced.
Mckinney was reared in the vicinity
east of Greenfield, while Browning
came from near Bradford.
Sheriff Bullock and Deputy Egg
bert Bullock, accompanied by Mr..
Ben Brock went to H ckman Thurs
day and brought Mckinney and
Browning to Dresden that night.
Chroat was arrested and brought
Friday and all three placed in Jail.
Ferreting out this robbery was
right ever piece of detective work
and the officers deserve credit for
their zeal in the matter.
