In the battle line, which extends
from Mons to the Luxemburg

tions in Lorraine.
The French have abandoned
those portions of Alsace and Lor
raine which they had previously
occupied, and now look for heavy
fighting in French territory.
Detachments of German caval
ry, operating on the extreme

week was attended by fairly good
crowds. The first day 'of the fair
a street parade under the direction
of Matthew Darnell was enjoyed
by both white and colored as sev

comical.
The young colored men that

given credit for the excellent or

the cxtremly courteous treatment
of the white people who attended.
The music was furinshed by a
Louisville Band, the best organi

VILLA DECLARES
HE IS FOR PEACE
General Francisco Villa has
issued a statement regarding his
relations with the Carranza gov
ernment at Mexico City. He
said:
"I have no personal feeling in
this matter against Carranza.
This country should not again
be under military government.
The armies by our constitution
arc secondary to the constituted
government and tis now time that
the country should be governed
by the people, for the people and
not as heretoore, governed by a
military clique, whose only object
is personal welfare and not the
welfare of the masses.
"I desire the moral help of the
American people in this political
fight I am now waging. I consid
er myself the moral champion to
procure by all honorable means
for the down-trodden countrymen
justice and at the same time
showing them their obligations
towards law and order.
"There need be no alarm what
ever regarding my standing in
this matter. I desire the Ameri
can people to understand once
and for all, that I shall now take
the part of silent moral pressure
on any government they may
emanate; this pressure is not
menacing by any means. I de
sire morality, the strictest moral
ity in government.
"I desire that my country in
view of its past sufferings by mil
itary dictators, should in this
auspicious occasion inaugurate
her government under civil auth
or! titics."

TEMPERANCE
A Very Large Crowd Hears
Gifted Woman at the Court
House Monday Night.
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor,
known as the "Georgia Whirl
wind" and President of thc W.
C. T. U., of that State, spoke
here Monday evening at the
Court House in behalf of the
cause of temperance. She has a
strong voice, well suited for
public speaking, is highly edu
cated and cultured and for about
two hours held the undivided
attention of her audience which
filled the court room, aisle ways
and gallery and many were un
able to get in. That she made
a fine impression and accom
plished much for her cause is
admitted by all.
A number of German-American
societies have adopted resolutions
calling upon the American press
to print the news of the European
war fairly and therefore, without
prejudice. It is needless to say
that the newspapers wilL do that
very thing without urging. If
there is any one thing in the pres
ent crisis that thc press is trying
to do it is to print thc news just
as nearly correct as possible.
With all of thc belligerants cen
soring- the dispatches forwarded
by correspondents it is almost im
possible to known whether the
news received in this county is
correct.

GOOD. TIME FOR
WEED CUTTING
The State Road Commissioner
is calling the attention of road
engineers and county officials to
a law passed at the last session of
the Legislature which requires
the cutting of weeds along the
right-of-way of county roads.
This law provides that county
engineers "shall cause noxious
weeds growing by the bounds of
the public roads to be cut down
in the month of August." Most
weeds mature in August and if
they are cut and burned during
that month the next year's weed
crop will be smaller. The cut
ting of weeds along the county
try, and the weeds are not by any
means confined to the country.
Drouth which destroy field and
garden crops have Httle effect on
weeds. Mt. Sterling has many
flourishing patches of this useless
vegetat:on and would have less
of it next year if the sickle and
hoe were used to good effect. Let
those who have weeds to cut in
town or in country go valiantly
and willingly to the work.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Paul, the 16-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mason, of De
Sota, Kan., formerly of this city,
had a narrow escape from death
August 15th, when the false work
of a bridge upon which he was
working collapsed, carrying hun
with eight other workmen, thirty
five feet to the ground below.
One of the workmen was killed
out-right and several others in
jured, but fortunate young Mason
escaped without a scratch. This
is the second narrow escape Mr
Mason has had on the same job.
Good, honest faithful endeavor
will nose out in thc end, al
though sometimes compelled to
go a few extra innings.
