broke to run. He was commanded
by Carney to stop, and when he re-
fused to obey the officers command
Carney shot to scare him, but mis-
calculated his aim and the bal
struck Simmons in the back. He
lived some four or five hours and
died.

Crockett claims he knew nothing

Mrs. Simmons, mother of the
dead man, came to Martin Monday
from her home in Fulton and swore
out state warrant for Officer
Carnty, who was arrested by Sher-
if Bullock. Carney waived exami-
nation and was placed under $4,000

deplore this unfortunate affair and
profoundly sympathize with him.
It was reported to Sheriff Bull

he can shoot mighty true.

Gleason, but recently residing at
Oklahoma City, Okla, and Mr..
James A. Hensley, of the same city,
were united in marriage last Sat

Oklahoma City at A p. m. For the
happy occasion both the bride and
groom were dressed in brown to
to match, and the ceremony was
impressively said in the presence Of

28 FAST RACERS AL
READY FILL THE BARNS
Plenty of Amusement
For Both Old and
Young

At this writing Wednesday, the
outlook for the best fair in the his
tory of the association is most flat
tering. In the first place, the barns
are full and overrun with some very
fast race horses, with more to
come. There are % good horses on
the ground at this tine, and lovers
of the race sport will see some fast
races here during the week.
1t has been known for sometime
that the livestock exhibit would
rival that usually staged at Mem
phis, and fair visitors will expert
ence a thrill when they see the fine
livestock, especially the hogs and
cattle, while some choice sheep are
also on exhibition. You won't be
disappointed in the poultry show,

There is plenty Of amusement for
all, both old and young. The best
free attraction ever offered by any
fair association in this community
is the daredevil aviator performing
all kinds of acrobatic feats on the
wings of his plane. This will be
daily attraction well worth seeing.
He came in yesterday making the
trip from Nashville TO Dresden ii q
very short space of time.
Tht ladies' departments, the agri-
cultural exhibit, the community and
special district displays are all att

bigness of Weakley county.

couple of very strenuous weeks,
says everything is in perfect readi-
ness-every detail having been COM

be the feature days.
The road from Dresden to the
fair ground is being kept sprinkled
and the dust evil settled, so that it
is pleasure to drive out that high
way.

Capacity Crowd At
SWANS Opening Night

The crowd which filled and over
ran SWANS show on opening night,
when the drama, Kidnapped for
Revenge" was staged, showed con-
clusively that Swain holds his old
time grip upon the show-going pub
lie of this vicinity.
1t is estimated that 1000 people
witnessed the play Monday night,
while many were turned away, as it
is positively contrary to SWANS
rule to crowd his tent. Swain has
many new features this year. His
tent is larger The says it always re-
quires big tent for his Dresden
friends) and he has his own lighting
system. A third car has been added
to his train to transport his tents,
etc. It is nothing short of marvel
Gus the way Swain attracts people
to his shows. Every detail is given
his personal attention He has
been coming to Dresden so long that
he knows three-fourths of our peo-
pie by given name and is always
accorded a cordial welcome in Dres-
den.

TURF PROGRAM IS The LEADING FAIR ATTRACTION
PASSING AWAY Of
SPLENDID CITIZEN.
Mr.. G. S. Jeter Ends Long and
Useful Career. Inferred
Sunday at Liberty.

Mr.. G. S. Jeter, father Of Clerk
W. ]. Jeter, died Saturday at 10
o'clock at his home in Dresden,
after an illness of some five or six
weeks. The remains were carried to
Liberty, his boyhood home and
where he spent his entire life until
he came to Dresden about year
agos for interment Services were
held by his pastor, Rev. Underwood,
assisted by Presiding Elder Pickens.
The esteem in which this good
man was held was attested by the
very large crowd which gathered
to pay a last tribute of respect to
his memory and further by the gen
uine grief manifest throughout the
service and interment. 1t was re-
marked that there seemed to be a
greater number Of bereaved ones
at the funeral of Uncle George
Jeter than is usually observed. This
only goes to show his widespread
popularity.
He was good man, christian
gentleman, being a lifelong mem
Der of the Methodist church and a
Mason in good standing. He was
all that could be expected as a hus-
hand and father. AS citizen, the
county contained none better. he
was moral and upright in all the re-
lations of life. He was useful
man, and everyone who knew him
extends sympathy to the bereaveo
family.
The following obituary was reao
by Bro. Underwood:
George Samuel Jeter was borr
Dec. 23. 1847. He joined the M. E
church, South, at Liberty in August
1865. He was united in marriage tc
Miss May Tennessee Ward, May IA
1874. and to this union was born
seven children, three of whom dice
in chilhood-Charlie Bell, Dennis
and Roscoe. The children surviving
together with Their aged mother

besides a host of relatives ant

MANESS, BULLOCK
SW|NNEY NOMINEES
South Part Of County Capt
! ures Two Choice Plums.
Heavy Vote is Polled

Outstripping any previous prlnla-
nv election ever held in this county
by at least 1000 votes, last Satur-
days primary for the nomination Of
democratic candidates for county
court clerk, register and sheriff, es-
tablished new high water record.
The total vote polled in the county
was 6,343, this being the combined
vote in the sheriff's race. This goes
to show that very large number
of women voted in Saturdays pri-
mary. However, they seem to have
voted for the male candidates, as
the female aspirants for office ran
way behind.
While it is impossible to give the
official vote this week, the Enter
prise, in keeping with its custom of
40 years, is giving the vote as we
have it up to the hour Of going to
press. This vote is not far from
correct, but we give it as unofficial
since no official count has been had
up to this time. The vote was to
have been canvassed Monday, but
owing to the absence of several dis.
tricts the committee to canvass the
vote will be called at later date
probably next Monday.
The unofficial vote as the Enter
prise gets it is as follows:

DR.. Anderson Con-
tinues Very Low

Information from the bedside Of
DR.. j. H. Anderson, dean of the
theological department at Hall
Moody school, at Martin, is to the
effect that he is sinking rapidly
and can survive but few days.
He is suffering from Bright's dis
east. All the family have been
summoned to his bedside. DIR. An
derson was formerly pastor Of the
First Baptist church in Dresden
and has host of friends here who
deeply deplore his critical condition.

1t is said that the vote given Bon
ME Bullock for sheriff is the largest
ever given candidate in this coun-
ty who had opposition. It is a
splendid, magnificent compliment
to him and unqualified endorse
ment Of his official record. 1t
means that. the citizens Of the coun-
ty want him to destroy every wild
cat still in the county and drive the
operators from the bounds OF
Weakley county.
Mr.. Maness, the nominee for
county court clerk, is young man
rs years Of age. He has family
and was reared in the south part of
the county. He is an ex-service
man with an enviable record, and
that the sovereign voters will elect
him next August goes without the
saying.
Charlie Swlnney also comes from
that splendid section of Weakley
county. He is gentleman Of the
first water, and the vote given him
by his home people ought to be suf-
ficient recommendation as to his
character and qualifications. He,
too, will be elected in August.
The defeated candidates are all
first-class ladies and gentltmen.
They each of them conducted a
clean, honorable campaign, and
should any of them ever come be
fore the public again seeking office
the fairness of this campaign will be
to Their credit.
