Letter From Putnam County on Dixie Highway Route
Editor Livingston Enterprise,
Livingston, Tennessee
Dear Sir:
Your article on the Dixie Highway is timely and to the point. The route along the Cumberland Mountains through Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Cumberland, across the eastern section of Putnam county and through Overton and Pickett or Fentress and Pickett is the logical route from the north to the south, and in the opinion of those who are more anxious to see a great direct highway from the Great Lakes through our Dixie land than they are to wind it around and cross both ends of the State in order to reach certain interests, is the one that will ultimately be built and be known in reality, if not in name as the direct route through Dixie.
Some two years ago, when the agitation for the Memphis to Bristol highway was at its heights, this county made a proposition in good faith, and had the route through this section been adopted, it would have now been a reality instead of a failure as now happens to be the case. The two routes selected through Tennessee, each of which is claimed to be known as the Dixie Highway, will end about the same way. It occurs to me that the decision, as rendered at Chattanooga, whereby the routes were divided and extended east and west, adding to the distance anywhere from 75 to 100 miles from the direct route across the Cumberland Mountains, has taken away from the enterprise the force and energy that would have been exerted, had one direct, or even one indirect route, been selected. Now the thing for us to do who are interested in this matter and are proposing to do the part that will bring about results is to begin meeting some time in the near future and call together at some convenient point men from these various counties and agree to build our route with the help of that wonderful road enthusiast in Chattanooga, Mr. C. E. James, who is the originator and promoter of the Dixie Highway project and who has been so badly treated in this selection, and there is no doubt in my mind but that we will ultimately get the route and the travel between the north and south, which is the result hoped for. Putnam county stands ready to do her part. What say you for Overton?
Yours very truly,
Jas. N. Cox

Painfull Accident-Ex-Sheriff Collins Gets Bullet in Leg
Ex-Sherriff J. O. Collins was the victim of a most painful accident last Saturday night, when he accidentally shot himself with a 38 revolver. Mr. Collins, who is acting in the capacity of deputy sheriff, was preparing to go out in search of some law breakers, and had borrowed a revolver for another party who was going with him; he was just entering the front gate of Elliot Copeland, and in reaching to open the gate with the same hand in which he held the scabboted revolver, the fire arm in some way slipped out and fell to the stone steps and discharged. The ball went through the leg of Mr. Collins just below the knee, it struck the edge of the bond, breaking off several pieces. Dr. M. B. Capps was called at once. He dressed the wound after which Mr. Collins was removed to his home. Late reports state that he is getting on as well as could be expected and that he hopes to be out before long. The accident will be deeply regretted by the people of Overton county, there is no better known or more popular man within its borders than “Jude” Collins.

Deck-Butt
Miss Mattie Burks Deck and Mr. Buford Thompson Butt were quietly married on Monday afternoon May 24th, at 1:30 P.M. at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Snoddy of Cook Place, a number of close friends being present. Rev. B. L. Lyle of Lebanon, performed the ceremony. The bride was attractively dressed in white satin messalin trimmed with oriental lace and carried a very beautiful boquet of brides roses and lilies of the valley.
The room was decorated with ferns, roses and other cut flowers.
After the ceremony the bride and groom left for the home of the groom near Franklin, Tenn., where they will spend a few days and will return to their home at Cook Place where the groom is connected with the Davidson Hicks & Green Co. at their lumber operation.

Kadell-Kritchfield
The Kadell-Kritchfield show now in progress is one of the best popular priced attractions that Livingston people have had the opportunity to enjoy in a long while. The show is under canvas, and the large seating capacity will undoubtedly be taxed to its utmost, if the weather clears up for the remainder of the week. It is a really good show, and well worth seeing.

Notice to Business Men
This is the last time that I am going to warn you to keep your business houses closed on Sundays. So do not be surprised if you have to pay a fine some Monday morning. If the law is not good have your aldermen to repeal it. Until it is repealed I intend to enforce it without fear or favor.

The secret is out, like all other truths, it has risen above all things else, and now the world at large knows the Louisville, Nashville, Indianapolis, and other towns along the western route of the Dixie Highway that-is-to be, are indebted to Tullahoma near the capital of Coffee county, for having placed them on the map of this projected thoroughfare. The little left our villages will have to make the best of it, for the present, but maybe some of these long come shorts, the Highland Rim metropolis, will agree for them to have a byeway if not a highway.

I will ring off. – The Happy Girl.

The Germans now seem to be undoing all the real work done by the Allies during the past eleven months by driving the Russians back from the Galician towns.

England’s conservatism no doubt gets monotonous to the allies, who are doing the bulk of the fighting, while the British Lion shakes his mighty main and roars unceasingly.
England, whose “Sun never sets: has innumerable “Sons” who prefer to sit idle, rather than work in the factories which are turning out munitions of war. It must be “Bally hard work, dontcher know”.
