Cut-Out Ordinance
is Being Enforced

The cut-Out ordinance, which for
bids the driving of automobiles in
Dresden with an open cut-out, is be-
ing rigidly enforced in Dresden, and
a long-suffering public is under last
ing obligations to Mayor McWher-
ter and the board of mayor and al
dermen for clamping down the lid
on the noise fiends.
There was quite notable change
Monday-one that was hugely ap-
preciated, too,-when the cutomary
noise was conspiuous by its absence.
And no one could tell but that the
cars ran just as smoothly, as easy
and as nicely as when they went
ripping through town believing like
young bulls. 1t had got to be null
sance here that brought forth gen.
eral complaint. Night and day
and, it seems, more especially at.
night-the noise fiends make the
welkin fairly ring with their open
cut-out noise, disturbing the SEX
and nervous, knocking into thou
sand smithereens all efforts to sleep
prior to / a. M, and preventing the
transaction of any and all kinds OF
business during the day.
N.Y. it was terr.ble-to the fell
low who didn't drive with his cut
put wide open, but to him it was
was superior to Sousa's band-or
he Dresden band, either. But the
hing had to cease. A long-suffer-
ng public said so-and it did.

NO COURT WILL Be
HELD FIRST MONDAY
Tuesday Will Be Court Day
and Business Will be Practi-
cally Suspended.

The fourth of July comes this
year on the first Monday in July,
and, therefore, County Judge Leak
Hill announces that the July term
OF the county court will be held on
tuesday, when the justices will as
semble for the regular routine of
business, including the election of
seven members of the county board
of education.
Business in Dresden will be prac-
tically suspended for the day, and
Dresdenites will spend the Fourth
at various places. The larger part
of the population will go to Martin,
while others will celebrate at Nc
Kenzie and Union City. Some of the
members of the Dresden Gun Club
will go to the big shoot to be held
at GAINESVILLE.
On Tuesday, however, it is expect
ed that whopping big crowd will
be in Dresden, since this day for the
single occasion has been substituted
for first Monday. All the business
houses and the banks will be open
Tuesday for the regular transaction
of business, and most of them, in
fact open on Monday, for a part Of
the day, at least, if not all.
Many towns around US have ar
ranged Fourth of July programmes
and will entertain their guests in
royal fashion.

Methodist Revival
Increasing Interest

The revival at the Methodist
church in Dresden, which began last
Sunday, is increasing in interest.
Services are held twice daily-10
O'Clock mornings and 8 o'clock
nights. Large crowds are at each
night service, while the morning SER
vice is fairly well attended.
Rev, A. F. Stem, former Dresden
pastor, is delivering some very able
discourses. He has with him Mr..
Scott as singer and the song service
at each hour is the best ever heard
here. Mr.. Scott's solos are attract
ing much attention.
No closing date has yet been an
nounced. 81

No General Reduc-
ton in Assessment

The Weakley county equalization
board has spent this week listening
patiently, generously and impartial
ly to the complaints Of those notified
last week of raises in the assessed
valuations of their property. Very
few were here Monday appearing be-
fore the board, but the number was
greatly increased on Tuesday and
Wednesday and valuations were
lowered in many instances.
However, there has been no gen.
eral or wholesale lowering OF values,
the board realizing that as a whole
valuations are already low enough
and, further, that if assessments go
too low the rate will necessarily have
to be raised, which, doubtless, win
be the case, anyhow.
The board will be in session the
remainder Of the month. These gen
tlemen have not only labored hard
and faithfully, but they have en-
deavored to be both just and fair
to tax payers and to the county and
state. They are splendid business
-broad-minded, each possess
ing a sense Of justice and equity and
ought to be publicly commended for
their efforts to do the right thing.

COW STOLEN; FINS
PALMER ARRESTED
Supt. Fuqua and Bill Jack
Rogers Swear Out State
Warrant; Stealing Cow

AS stated in another column in
today's Enterpl Sc, Supt. Fuqua
went to Greenfield Monday after
noon and identified COW which had
been sold to Bill Jack Rogers and
drove her home that night, reaching
Dresden in time for breakfast Tues
day morning.
Later in the day Rogers came to
Dresden and meeting Finis Palmer
on the street identified young Pal
mer as the boy from whom he pur-
chased the Fuqua COW in Green
field at about 5 o'clock Wednesday
morning of last week. Mr.. Fuqua
missed his COW from the lot when he
went to milk on Wednesday morn
ing. Young Palmer denied the
charge, but was arrested.
Rogers stated here Tuesday that
Finis Palmer, whom he knew as a
boy, but whose name he did not
know, that he had seen him here
many times; that when the boy, who
is about Is years of age, approach
ed him to sell him the COW he in
quired if it was his COW, his name,
etc. He stated it was his animal and
that his name was Ward and he lived
near Hillside. He is alleged to have
told others that his name was Hill.
A number of Greenfield people saw
him there the morning he sold the
COW and saw him board the back
end of the north-bound passenger
train and will testify that he is the
boy from whom Rogers bought the
COW.
Rogers refused to give check
for full amount agreed upon, SIG,
giving his check :for $3.50 and SOC in
cash, the boy stating he was without
funds and wanted enough to pay his
fare to Sharon or Hillside. Later
Rogers, becoming suspicious of the
deal, ordered the bank at Greenfield
not to cash the check and when it
was presented the check was turned
down. Then, so Rogers alleges, Pal
mer came back to him crying, saying
he wanted either his COW back or the
miney; that he put up SO straight
forward tale he (Rogers) consented
for the check to be cashed. The
check was made payable to ]. A.
Ward and he cashed it, leaving
Greenfield on the 8 o'clock train
going north.
1t is stated that two other boys,
one from Puryear and one from
Curve, were with the boy selling the
COW, and warrants will be issued for
their arrest. Both Rogers and Flu
qua say they will prosecute the case.
Palmer is the Dresden youth i'm
plicated in the robbery of Levy's
store. He turned states evidence and
implicated half dozen others, in
GLIDING a Dresden negro, but at the
trial all were acquitted. He was also
indicted and tried on a charge Of
a fine hound dog from
Robt. Vincent, but was declared not
guilty by the jury.

Later.-Since the above was put
into type we learn that Mr.. McCuan
was not driving the car, but that it
was Miss Elizabeth Malone. How
ever, when he saw there was going
to be collision with the buggies,
which were stopped in or near the
middle of the road, Mr.. McCuan took
hold of the steering wheel and got
the car into the ditch. One of the
horses hitched to a buggy became
excited and either backed or got the
buggy in the way of the car, both
wheels being demolished.
