Biggest Gun Shoot
of the Entire Season

On August the American Legion
will hold Their Field Day at the fair
grounds, and among the many at
fractions will be a clay target shoot,
the Dresden Gun Club having given
to the Legion the use of their trap
and grounds for that day. This
shoot will be open to every one.
There will be two events of rs tar
gets each. An entrance fee of $1.OO
for each event will be charged for
those wishing to shoot for the mon
ey. High guns win, money will be
divided four ways. Two cents tar
get will be charged and those wishing
to shoot for targets alone may do so.
The local shooters have been MAX
ing some good scores at their weekly
shoots, but there will be a number
of crack shots from Greenfield, Sha-
ron, Martin and Cottage Grove who
will be here with the intent on of TAX
ing the honors with them, so the pub
lie will no doubt witness some high
class shooting.
The Shoot will begin at 80 p. m.
Shells will be for sale on the grounds.

HEAVY DOCKET CON-
FRONTS THE COURT
August Term Circuit Court to
Convene Monday. Three Big
Will Cases. Wilson Case

Wheh the August term of the
Weakley county circuit court con-
venes next Monday it will be with a
heavy docket confronting it, Clerk
Brann informs the Enterprise re-
porter.
There are three big will cases on
the docket, among them being the
Alexander case, in which the verdict
of the jury was set aside by the
court, and in which an effort is now
being made to effect compromise.
The Jim Wilson murder trial is set
for this term, and there are numer-
Gus appeal cases on the docket and
a large number of both felony and
misdemeanor cases.
While the last grand jury did not
return an unusually large number
Of nd.ctments, it is expected that
the August grand jury will break
the record of recent years. The
April grand jury Investigations in a
numebr of instances may result in
indictments at the August term.
There are some ten or twelve de
vorce suits pending and all these
will be heard at the present term.
The outlook, Mr.. Brann says, is for
a long, drawn-out term, though one
cannot tell, as many cases may ba
continued and others settled out Of
court, as is frequently done.
The following named gentlemen
compose the venire, from which the
grand and trial juries will be chos-

Enjoyable Sum
day School Social

The officers, teachers and pupils
Of the Methodist Sunday school had
one of their quarterly evening So
Gals on last Monday evening on the
beautiful lawn of Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
Freeman. More than $50 were pres
ent and took part in the various
games of the evening.
A section was provided on the
lawn for each department of the
Sunday school and a hostess and
game leader in charge of each sec
ton. A beverage was served to
each couple on arriving, after which
the guests were escorted to the diff
ferent sections, where they took
part in the games. The games con-
tinued for more than an hour, when
a delicious ice course was served,
then each section gave it's favorite
song, listened to two quartettes and
bid the host and hostess good night.
Much credit is due to Mrs Freeman
and Mrs. Mckenzie for the excellent
and management and
to Misses Button Eskridge, Mary
House, Grace Moore, Lucille Myrick,
Mabel Barton, Mrs. Ellis and Mrs.
Elkins for the lovely way of enter

Negro Prodigy
breaches in Dresden

Some time ago the Enterprise told
you about a negro boy who had
created much interest by his preach
ing at Palmersville, and on Monday
he was heard here by packed court
room. The lad, whose name is Nolen
Pope and whose age is just eight
years, Sunday being his birthday.
Hearing that he was coming
through here, Mr.. D. A. McWherter
awaited his coming and invited him
to preach at the court house. He
took as his text, Upon this rock 1
will build my church and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it,"
He is a fast talker; in fact, So much
so that it is quite difficult to catch
his words. He quotes scripture,
which he has committed to memory,
all the time. At the conclusion of
his sermon contribution was taken,
amounting to $5.25.

Constable Peyton Carlton, the aged

McCuan's tobacco factory to serve Ie-
gal papers on Tuck and an argument
arose, when Tuck, robust young fell

the side of the head with his fist.
Mr.. Carlton was rendered Unconscious.

LARGE CROWD EN-
JOYS THE BIG DAY
Size of Crowd Exceeds Expec-
tations Of All. Interesting
Program. Good Speaking

The success of Saturdays enter
tainment is due to the untiring eff
forts of Messrs. Sox Freeman, AID
Olson Brasfield and C. H. billiard
Each of these gentlemen worked un.
ceasingly throughout the day fol-
the entertainment and pleasure OF
the great crowd, which exceeded the
expectations Of all. The thanks OF
the crowd for plenty of good ice
water is due Uncle John Fuller,
who provided tubs and ice.
Great interest centered in the va
rious contests, managed by Messrs.
Hilliard and Freeman. The barrel
race was especially interesting, while
Bob Grub and Frank Jackson in
the 50-year-old foot race attracted
much attention.
The addresses delivered by Mr..
Nichols and Judge Jas. D. Center
were able efforts. The former dwelt
upon farm conditions, while Mr..
Center talked about the present
status of affairs with regard both
to the farmer and business man.
He does not believe the bottom is
going to drop out of things, but, up
on the other hand, he says we have
reached the bottom and that al
ready have started back on the up
ward track. His able address was
an inspiration to his hearers, who
express the hope that Judge Senter
will come again. The speakers
were introduced by Mayor Rice Nc
Wherter.
An Enterprise reporter made an
effort to interview all the mer-
chants Monday as to the success of
the day from a trade standpoint.
Grocers generally did not enjoy a
great increase in volume of trade,
though some of them say it was
big day for them and they would
like to have it repeated once every
that they enjoy having their
friends and the citizens of the coun-
ty assemble at the county seat for
a days pleasure and amusement,
and that they are glad to donate to
a premium list for this purpose.
from these merchants
are as follows:
E. E. Robinson: For a starter it
was grand. We sold lots of goods
and I am heartily in favor Of
farmers rally and trade
lay.
T. M. Little: Trade some better
han other Saturdays. I do not OBJ
ect to these big days, but rather
them, for l like for my
friends to come to town. It helps

Local Officials AS
sists in Big Capture

Sheriff Bonnie Bullock and Depu-
ties Dick Maiden and Will Dunn as
sisted the sheriff of Fulton county,
KY, Tuesday night in the capture
of Guy Gray, who was arrested at
midnight at his home in Henry
and taken to Hickman to jail on a
charge of implication in the killing
of Mr.. Nathan Morris at his garage
in Fulton about 18 months ago.
When Guy saw that the officers
were after him he made an attempt
to escape through raised window
but ran into the arms of an officer.
1t will be remembered that Nor
ris was murdered in cold blood. He
had Just returned home from an
auto drive, running the car into his
garage, situated within 20 feet of
the dwelling, and as he started from
the garage was shot down by an un-
known person. The murder shocked
the entire country, and officers have
been working on the case ever since.
1t is claimed, the Enterprise is in
formed, that Gray was employed by
others to kill Morris, for which he
was to receive $500.
Deputy Sheriff Shultz, who is all
So cand date for sheriff Of Fulton
county, rendered invaluable assist
ance in the arrest of Gray, demon
strating his ability as an eagle-eyed
sleuth. Mr.. Shultz made a splendid
impression upon our people.
