ED; FINE EXHIBITS

The colored fair opened at the
fair ground here Thursday morning
with ideal weather and large and
commendable display of agricultu-
raj exhibits, handicraft, canned
fruits and vegetables, some good
livestock and fancy poultry.
The management granted time
up to Thursday noon to get the eX-
hibits in and entered, and all during
Thursday morning car load after
carload and wagon after wagon load
of exhibits came in.
The outlook for a big attendance
is good. Thursday was school day,
all school children being admitted
free. A big parade of the school
children from Dresden out to the
fair ground, headed by the band,
was staged Thursday morning. It
proved an attraction.
TIE grounds are full of tent
shows, concession stands and every
thing that goes to make a real,
genuine county fair.

AUSPPICIOUS OPENING
OF PALMERSVILLE SCHOOL

Palmersville, Sept. 28.-The Pal.
mersville High School opened Mon
day morning in full blast. Not
since the days of the Kirklands, H.
E. Waters and other noted teach
ers who put PalmersvilIe on the
school map, has SO much .old-time
school enthusiasm prevailed.
We have just recently erected a
new, modern school building at an
estimated cost of $4,000 and are
prepared to carry all the grades up
to and including the fourth year
work.
Despite the gloomy weather, the
patrons turned out in old-time style,
each filled with the school spirit and
determination that we will make
the school better. The crowd as
sembled in the auditorium at 8
8 o'clock. Prof. Gibson made the
opening address, calling upon the
patrons for their hearty co-opera-
ton in the problems that tend to
come before the school and assuring
them that the faculty would do all
in it's power to make the school a
success. The opening son,
America" sang with Mrs. Zela
Pentecost at the piano, was an in
spiration, to US all, and it seemed
that the scholars, as we'll as pat
rons, caught the spirit of the song
that Long May our Land be
Light; Protect US by Thy Might,
Great God, our King.
Enrolment was over one hun
bred with twenty eight high school
scholars that belong in the district,
and seven outside high school pu-
pills, making a total of thirty-five
high school students.
Prof. Gibson has charge of the
school as principal, with Prof.
Charles E. Manley of Gleason as
head of the primary department.
Miss EdJa Mai Newberry has
charge of the intermediate and Mrs.
Lorene Howard has primary. With
this faculty we feel that we will
have the best school we have had in
several years.
If you know of any high school
pupils that want to attend a. county
high school free of tuition send
them to Palmersville.

All Departments Brimful. Excess

Premiums.
RAIN INSURANCE SAVES
ASSOCIATION FROM LOSS

Despite the fact that hard rain
fell on Tuesday before the fair,
with down-pours both Wednesday
and Thursday mornings and verita-
BILE deluges Friday and Saturday
afternoon, we had good fair.
1t was good from the standpoint
of meritorious exhibits and genuine
interest upon the part of the farm
ing class and more especially the
live stock men of the county, who
deserve commentator for making
the 1921 fair far and away ahead
of any ever attempted in this entire
section.
All departments were brimful.
The livestock department was by
far the best ever seen here, en-
bracing 81 head of cattle, of four
leading breeds, 70 head of hogs
Durocs, Hampshires and Poland
Chinas; several pens of sheep and
several of goats. In addition to
this the poultry entries were large
and of a very high class.
Actually, and without any at
tempt at boosting, this was the best
fair ever held here, made possible
by the live, wide-awake interest
manifest by farmers. The associa-
ton offered and paid out a great
deal more money in premiums than
this or any other nearby association
ever did before. The sum of APP
proximately $4,000 was paid out in
premiums and for races.
The gate receipts totaled about
$4,000 for the three days, and
added to this will be about $500
collected for concession privileges.
The association was insured against
rain to the amount of $4,000 and
will doubtless collect a thousand
dollars or more. Even one of the
concession men was insured for
500 per day against rain, and ON
Saturday he had just taken down
his stand when the big rain came
up.
The racing was gbout as good
as could be expected with the wet,
heavy track and the small number
of horses attracted to this section
since there is not now a regularly

STOCK MARKET,
Hog Market Regaining Last Week
Losses. Cattle on the
Decline.

The supply of cattle continues
generous at all the Western markets
and large proportion of the re-
ceipts are running to Westerns and
grass range stuff. The market, due
to competition of the Western
stuff, records flat decline of Is

Hogs. A satisfying feature OF
the trade is the fact that most OF
the early weeks price loss has been
regained, the present market being
almost as good as it was at the
close of the previous week, and 10c
per hundred would fully cover the
difference in the present market
and that at the close of the previ-
Gus week. The present top is $8.45
and there is marked scarcity of

ing 200 pounds up.
The bulk of the good 100 to ESQ

pigs 1870 to 100 pounds $7.75 to
1925; 100 to 1870 pounds $500 to

the killers at $3.50 to 81 and stock
er grades at $5.75 to $3.50.
Sheep. The lamb supply is linn

declining prices of the previous

COOLIES OF DRINKING CUPS
GIVEN AWAY AT THE FAIR

The Enterprise booth at the fair
was, perhaps, the most generously
paEronized place on the ground.
The Enterprise announced that, fol-
lowing its old custom, it would
furnish free ice water and sanitary
drinking cups to friends and pat
rons Of the paper.
Two large water coolers were
provided and these were kept full
of cold water all during each day.
Sometimes the rush was so great
that three hands were kept busy
supplying individual sanitary drink
ing cups, ice and filling the coolers.
Saturday was an especially busy
day, when it seemed that everyone
on the grounds wanted some of the
Enterprise ice water, No one was
turned away. All were supplied,
and the Enterprise received many
nice and appreciated compliments
for supplying so large a crowd with
ice and individual drinking cups.

Automobile in River
Causes Speculation

People coming to the fair Friday
from the south saw a car in the
river at Northcutt's levee, south of
Dresden. The car was upside down
and practically submerged. No one
seemed to know anything about it.
In fact, all were too busy going to
the fair to stop and find out any
thing about it. It's appearance in
this unusual position caused much
speculation. One report was that it
was whiskey car which had gone
into the river and had been desert
ed by the driver to escape detection.
Another was that the driver was in
toxicated and ran off the. river
bridge and was still under the car.
ana SO on.
All We're wrong. The car belonged
to Mr.. WhitmOre at Mckenzie. 1t
was en- route to Dresden. Before
reaching the river there was tire
trouble. When the car got to the
river bridge one side ran off, two
wheels hanging over the river and
the car swinging on the edge of the
bridge. The suppositiOn is that
while the driver went to get help
some one came along in hurry and
pushed the car, which was a Ford,
off into the river to make passing
room on the bridge. When the car
was fished out it was found little
the worse for it's experience.

tins zoo, one of the distinctive feat
ures of the town and which has
given it wide publicity, is doomed.
The ZOO must go because the city
has refused to make an apprOpria-
ton for its maintenance. Conse-
quently, the park commissioners
have been forced to advertise for
sale the one thing of which Martin
has been proudest.
However, it is said this step is
but a prelude to even another ac-
ton which will deprive the city of
another great source of pleasure.

the city park will be sold.

COMMUNITY FAIR
GLEASON, OCT. IS
Two Big Days for Progressive
Wide-Awake Town. List
Premiums Valuable

Gleason's community fair for the
civil districts adjacent to Gleason,
will be held this year on Friday and
Saturday, Oct. Ia and Is.
The long list of valuable premi-
ums offered on all varieties of farm
products will be found on the 4ast
page of today's Enterprise. The list
embraces premiums for farm prod
ucts, cattle, hogs, handicraft, can
ned goods, culinary articles, athletic
contests, etc.
This will be in all respects similar
to the recent county fair, only the
awards are to be confined to those
districts adjacent to Gleason. The
same rules will govern as in the
county fair and awards are to be
made by impartial and wholly dis
interested judges.
The fair is financed by the wide
awake. progressive nlerchahts and
citizens Of Gleason who wish to
show their appreciation for the lib
eral patronage extended them by
the citizens of the trade territory,
and further, who wish to bring to-
gether the things produced in their
section and show them collectively.
1t is a magnanimous thing upon
their part the giving of this vast
sum of money in premiums-and
doubtless the exhibits will be the
best ever seen and in larger num-
bers.

Hogs and Cattle the Most At
tractive Exhibit at the
Fair Last Week Z
rs HEAD FINE HOGS;
81 HEAD SLEEK CATTLE

If any one entertained a doubt
as to the quality and quantity of
Weakley county's livestock, that
doubt must have been dispelled last
week at the county fair, where was
shown the most inspiring buch of
cattle and hogs-every one a per-
feet type, too,-ever brought to-
gether in this section of the state,
except Memphis.
This livestock exhibit was reve-
lation to many. It was inspiring to
all. It was an entire show within
itself, and never before in the his
tory of the fair association was
there so much interest manifest in
the livestock show nor was this de-
partment ever visited by SO many
people as upon this occasion. Great
crowds thronged the livestock hall
all during the day. Their express
sions both upon entering and leav-
ing convinced one that they were
both amazed and charmed.
In the swine department there
were 70 head of hogs, representing
the three leading breeds-Durocs,
Poland Chinas and Hampshires.
The heaviest hog. was that of ]. F.
Etheridge and weighed SIT pounds.
He is a Poland China boar.
There were 81 head of cattle ex-
hibited, representing four different
eeds-ShorthotnsD Jerseys Dur
hams and Holsteins.
For some reason doubtless the
action Of the last legislature in
withdrawing protection from sheep
growers the number of sheep
shown was disappointing.
A feature of the swine show was
that all the Durocs shown, except
four, are either now owned or have
been previously owned by G. V.
Brundige & Son, or now own or
did own the sire. Brundige & Son
have specialized in Durocs for sew
eral years. They have brought to
this county some Of the very best
that money could buy.
We wish it had been possible for
every citizen of the county to have
seen this livestock exhibit, which
attracted so much attention and
elected so much favorable COM
nent.
The premium winners are as fol-
lows:
Swine
Durocs-C. V. Brundige & Son,
first aged boar, first junior show
pig, champion boar. l. A. Shanklin,
first aged sow, first junior yearling

hard to know just where to begin. One
OF the important things the girls learned
was tolerance. When they came here
each had her own views and there were
many arguments, but they learned to
listen and hear the other side, and even
to become interested in the other side.
another thing they learned was that
theories only become OF great value
when an attempt Is made to see how
they would work in practice. Many OF
our girls were extremely bright. but
necessarily they had many theories.
Our aim was to give the girls a
broad, liberal education not particularly
to specialize. We wanted to fit them
for working better and for playing bet
ter, too. One important thing was to
tench them the value of relaxation and
to show them everything taught and
learned need not have an Immediate re-
lation to the job.
''The girls seemed to absorb these
ideas. From the standpoint of the
faculty and the students the experiment
was an unqualified success
