Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage

Say Cotton Goods
: Going Higher Daily

Talking here Monday with two
dry goods men-Billy Taylor, for
40 years with Allen & Shannon, at
Greenfield, and Frank Margrave, of
Reynolds & Margrave, Gleason
these experienced dry goods men
tell us that all cotton goods is adj
vancing rapidly. Just within the
past few days there has been a de-
cided advance in the price of do
mestics and other cotton goods are
going higher. The reason is not
stated, but, doubtless it is based on
the very short cotton crop, the
government report putting the 1921
crop at about 100000 bales,
against 100000 bales as nor
NAL crop. The price of cotton has
advanced some, but not near what
it should nor what it will if grow
ers will exercise judgment and sell
as the market needs it.

Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
Reelected Operators

There was a pretty full attend
ance of stockholders of the Dres-
den Rural Telephone Company here
Monday, when Mr.. and Mrs. T. E.
Taylor were reelected to their old
positions for the ensuing year. They
had seven openents, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Taylor got Cd votes, while all
seven of the other applicants got
80. While there was much interest
manifest in the election of operator
and lineman, good feeling predomi-
mated. 1t was quite a nice compli-
ment to Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, both
of whom have been exceedingly OBJ
liging to the public. Their efforts
have been for better rural service
and often they have worked far
into the night for the public good.
Tom Campbell was made presi-
dent; J. E. McClain, vice-president,
and Mrs. T. E. Taylor secretary
treasurer. Board Of directors:
John Davis, John Blacknall, Ebert

for good service. Mr.. Taylor asks

Dismantled Ford
Found in River

Mr.. Ollie McClain informs US
that one day last week while fishing
from the Obion river at Mcconnell
nearly all the parts of a Ford car
were found. He had learned these
parts were there and went looking
for them.
He found the charred body on
the river bank and the remainder,
including motor, three wheels, gas
oline tank, etc., in the water. The
motor number had been filed off.
1t is the opinion Of many who view
ed the wreck after being taken
from the river that the car was
burned to collect insurance, then
dismantled and dumped in the river.
Mr.. MeClain has the parts at bis
garage in Dukedom.

STILL AND WHITE
MULE CAPTURED
Deputies Bullock and Maiden
Make Saturday Morning
Raid; Bring in the Bacon

T Deputies Egbert Bullock and Dick
Maiden, accompanied by Morris Nc
Claim captured part of wildcat dis
sitting outfit on the Deason old
farm, in the river bottom back Of
Luther divers farm, seven miles
east of Dresden, last Saturday morn
ing, bringing their find to the jail,
consisting of one gallon jug Of
pure, homemade white mule, one
jug of "singlings," large 10-gallon
copper boiler, an oil stove, lantern,
frying pan, and so on.
The still was not in operation.
In fact, it was scattered pretty pro-
miscuously over considerable ter
ritory. A barrel Of mash was found
and destroyed, and it is quite likely
run had been made the night be-
fore. The officers waded mud and
water almost to their knees and
when they got to town were muddy
and wet.
Leaving town about 9 o'clock, the
officers headed direct for the loca-
ton of the still, having been tipped
off several days previously to it's 10
cation. They had little trouble find.
ing it, though it was dismantled,
part being at one place and part at
another. While homemade, it was
a complete outfit, though the worm
was not located. When Deputies
Bullock and Maiden reached the
scene they saw young man named
Bass near. About the same time
Bass saw them. Instantly both drew
their guns, and when Deputy Bull
lock made known to Bass who he
was, the latter apologized and ex-
planned that he was squirrel hunt
ing, that he was attracted to the
place by the smell of the barrel of
mass and had just come up when the
officers got there and when he saw
Bullock raise his gun he (Bass)
raised his, so Deputy Bullock in
forms the Enterprise.
The outfit was brought to Jail and
locked up with some half dozen
other similar outfits which Sheriff
Bullock has recently captured in his
efforts and determination to break
up the illicit manufacture of liquor
in this county. Sheriff Bullock has
been after this outfit for the past
several months, complaints coming
to him from citizens of that section
of the county. Assisting in the
raid also were Deputies FINS Sum-
mers and Jim Taylor.

METHODIST CHURCH
MAY CHANGE NAME
Action Expected to Be Taken
at the Next General
Conference.

With general conference, the SUI
preme authority of the church, less
than year off, Southern Method
lists of this section are manifesting
much interest in some of the items
for the agenda of that body, which
will meet in Hot Springs, Ark,
May, 1922. 1t is predicted that
many sweeping changes will be
made and that plans are in the air
for bringing about an even closer
relationship between the pulpit and
the pew than already exists in the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
which has always, it is claimed,
boasted broad, democratic spirit.
One forward step which is being
widely advocated by Methodists
through the press and from the pull
pit is the change of name from
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
Several changes have been suggest
ed, but the name which at the pres
ent time seems to be most popular,
should there be a change, is "The
Methodist Church"
A. R. Dudderar of Union Bridge,
Md, in writing to the Baltimore
Christian Advocate of the proposed
change, has this to say of adopting
the name "The Methodist Church:
II do not believe a more suitable
name can be found, a name that is
more significant, one that has any
deeper meaning and a more glori-
Gus history. The name has the
great advantage of brevity. 1t is
interviewer with history and spiritu-
al associations which have been
built into the very fiber of the peo-
pie. AS far as the appendix which
we have maintained since 1874 is
concerned, who has not long since
come to the conclusion that it has
lost it's Importance, and is, to say
the least, superfluous?"
W. C. Everett, head of the South
ern Methodist Publishing House at
Dallas, Texas, puts himself on rec
ord as favoring the name, "The
Methodist Church" In a recent Isl
sue of a religious weakley Mr.. Ev-
erett says, II am in hearty sympa-
thy with the suggestion that we
change the name of our church to
"The Methodist Church" l am in
favor of leaving off all the stately,
stiEed trimmings and simply cali
it what it is. That simple short
name, I believe would appeal to
everyone and make it much easier
for us ALL"
Since the name, "The Methodist
Church." has never been appropri-
ated by any of the divisions of the
Methodist Episcopal church, it is
probable that there would be no
objection from any source to it's
exclusive use by the Southern
branch of Methodism.

w. Lampkins, 0. E. Deaton, R. l.

Fred Taylor.
The matter being discussed et
some length a motion was made
that the chairman appoint a com
