hip, sustained several days ago
at his home by a fall.
Uncle John went out to the
horse lot one morning last week
to catch his horse, preparatory
to coming to town. The steed was
a little hard to catch, and in mov

landing on his hip, which was
badly fractured. He ha9 been
confined to his bed ever since and

MARTIN, - TENNESSEE
Tobacco Suit De
cided for Purchaser.
A case in circuit court last
week that attracted considerable
attention, principally in view of
the sales at present of the toqacco
crop, was that of Ezell & Buckner,
Dresden, prizers of leaf tobacco,
against Scott Nowlin. This suit
grew out of the fact that Nowlin
sold his 1915 crop of tobacco to
Ezell & Buckner, and latter, when
an advanced price was being paid,
hauled the crop off to another
prizer, selling for the advanced
price, and the suit wqs to recover
on commission. Judgment was
rendered in favor of Ezell & Buck
ner for $36.
A hog case was heard in circuit
court last Friday, before a jury,
the style of which was Otto Penick,
of the Fourteenth district, vs. the
I. C. R. R. Co. The complainant
showed that the railroad killed
two .hogs belonging to him; that
the cattle guard at that point on
the railroad was inefficient and
that by reason of the poor protec
tion cattle were frequently killed at
this crossing. Judment was ren
dered in favor of Mr. Penick for
$34.60.
Eight or ten divorces were
granted by his honor last week.
Child Born Minus
The Eye Balls.
Considerable interest attaches
to the child born a few days ago
to Mr. and Mrs. Bud Hall, re
siding on the Ed Alexander farm,
near Travis Chapel church, minus
the eye balls. Dr. Stephen's the
attending physician, informs the
Enterprise that otherwise it is a
healthy, sprightly child, but that
there is not a sign of eye ball in
either place, though sockets are
natural and well formed. The
child is thriving and bids fair to
develop into a healthy youngster.
un iuesaay aiternoon a num
ber of the local physicians went
out with Dr. Stephens to see the
child and examine it. This is the
first case of the kind that anv of
our physicians nave ever known
of, and, naturally, considerable
interest attaches to the sightless
child, especially among the medi
cos. Many persons have called
to see the little fellow, who will
have to go through life without
ever beholding God's beautiful
sunlight and other beauties of
nature.
Dr. Stephens reports that a few
weeks ago a child was, born in the
same neighborhood with two teeth,
which, however were removed.
Tobacco Crop is
; About all Sold.
The concensus of opinion among
knowing ones is that the 1916 to
I TIT 11
oaccocrop in weakiey county is
about all sold, and deliveries will
be made m large quantities the
Very first season, while some came
to Dresden during the present
week.
mi ii
mere are scattering crops in
almost every neighborhood that
are unsold, the owners holding
tor the high dollar, which
many believe will be paid. Still
there are those who say that to
baccc, like cotton, will take a tum
ble in price.
It is reported to the Enterprise
that the two prizing houses at
Dresden McCuan and Ezell
have made larger purchases than
for any previous year, and that
when deliveries are made this
town will be full of tobacco wagons
and haulers. This means there
will have to be provided accom
modations both for the teams
and the drivers, as many will be
forced to remain here over night.
Many who started out to hold
for 10 cents around are now re
fusing to sell for that price, which
is being pretty generally paid by
the buyers throughout the county,
believing the price will go still
higher. The last issue of the Paris
Post-Iutelligencer stated that 12
cents was being paid for the crop
in that connty.
School Statistics Cited.
Clarksville Market.
Clarksyille, Tenn., Nov. 11.
Light season last week brought
to the loose floors of the city
about 100,000 pounds of tobacco,
mostly of the common types,
which forced ready sales at prices
up to value, $6 50 for common
lugs and from $8.50 to 11.50 for
leaf. It is expected when better
grades are offered that prices will
be better.
The country buvers continue
their activity and are not failing to
pay liberal prices, paying at least
$1 50 per hundred more than was
paid three weeks ago. The com
petition eeems to be greater be
tween buyers than for many years.
all of the larger firms having a
large number of buyers, going in
all directions, not only in Mont
gomery, but in adjacent counties.
It is believed that fully three
fourths of the crop in the Clarks
ville district is already sold.
amounting to probably 30,000,000
pounds, which has averaged at
least $10 per hundred or more.
It is thought that the entire crop
will be sold loose to rehandlers.
Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 12.
Persons who believe there should
be some changes in the education
al system of Tennessee are calling
attention to statistics in regard to
attendance and cost of the edu
cation of children of the state.
Figures are also given as to the
number of pupils in the common
schools and high schools and
normal schools, together with the
cost of tuition and the number o
ill mi i
scuooi aays. inese statistics are
said to be approximately correct
in every instance, and are pre
sented to give an idea of the
growth of the state's educationa
system in various ways and show
how the state funds are distribu
ted.
This statement shows that the
amount expended for normals and
high schools is 30 per cent, of the
amount paid out for common
schools and the attendance of higl:
i i i .
ana normal schools is three per
cent, of the number attending
common schools.

Nation-Wide War
On Living Expenses
All over the nation, in almost
every city, town, . hamlet and
village, there has been organized
a war on the high cost of liv
ingwar on food stuffs and the
result is bound to be a reduction
of many commodities. Many
articles of food are two high for
the laboring class of people too
high for most anybody, unless it
be the editors, railroad presidents,
oil and steel and bond magnets
and millionaires!
But, mind you, this war is all
directed at the farm products.
Nothing is said rbout the great
increase in the price of shoes and
clothing, for which there is no
equitable, justifiable, honorable
reason, except that the manufac
turer is getting rich quick I
Where the war ought to be made
is on manufactured articles. God
knows the farmer is. entitled to
his. Recently a merchant told us
he was paying twice the sum for
overalls that he paid a year ago.
He said the manufacturer of this
overall claimed an increased cost
of production. Yet, two years
ago, when the buy-a-bale of cot
ton movement was being pushed
to help the poor farmer, this same
overall manufacturer said he had
enough cotton "in reserve to last
him five years. Now he claims
increased cost. He bought the
cotton when low. A St. Louis
wholesale firm cleaned up $10,000
profits on silk alone bv raising
the price on silks in its house to
conform to the advanced market
quotations. He, too, no doubt,
claims increased cost of produc
tion forced his price up.

A deaf and dumb man named
Acree from the First district, was
sent to jail on Monday by Judge
Jones for selling liquor, being
given a sentence of thirty days
and a fine of $50. Acree, besides
being a mute, is a man considera
bly advanced in years. The proof
showed that J Tie sold liquor and
he was sent to jail.
This was,, perhaps, the. first
case on record in this court where
a defendant gave his evidence in
writing and where the questions
were put to him in writing.
Even the sentence of the court
was reduced to writing and passed
to the aged man to read. His
attorney put all the questions in
writing and were answered by
the same method. It was a diffi
cult case for the court and iurv
w
to handle, but the proof was
sufficient, even from his own
evidence, to convict him. What
a pity these poor unfortunates are
taught to violate the law, instead
of being instructed to obey the
law I
