That the French lines still are falling back before the German
advance is indicated in an official statement issued by the French
war office, which says the progress of the German right wing
has obliged the French to yield the ground.
A German avator appeared over Paris Sunday and dropped
several bombs, several of which failed to explode. The oAly two

deed the English Sparrow is the
only bird he has been known to
unsparingly condemn.
He says: “Birds, like human
beings, are not all bad or all

in at least 95 per cent of our
feathered population.
“The quail or bobwhite feeds
freely upon chinch bugs, boll

Dog Bit Child
James, the three-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Ray, was
bitten quite seriously on the face
and head by a dog at the store of
W. T. Roberts & Son at Pettus
last Saturday afternoon. The
child was brought here and Dr.
Stephens dressed the injuries. It
was not thought that the dog
was afflicted with rabbies, as he
had bitten other children in the
past and was known as a mean
dog. However, the parents be-
came uneasy. The dog was
killed and the head sent to the
Austin Pastuer institute and that
night Mr. and Mrs. Ray decided
to take the child there, as fear
was growing upon them. By
the time they had reached Aus-
tin the dog’s head had been ex-
amined and declared free of
rabbies, and the parents re-
turned, much relieved. The lit-
tle fellow is gitting along nicely.

Electrically Charged Wires Used
to Check the German At-
tack at Leige
Paris, Aug. 24.—The Petit
Journal publishes the following
details of the fighting around the
Leige, obtained by it from a
Belgian officer:
“German troops rushed on the
barbed wire defenses before the
forts of Liege in the darkness of
night. A very strong current of
electricity was being maintained
in these wires and as a result the
first rank of the German were
electrocuted.
“Unchecked, the assailents
followed in masses, but they were
blinded by the glare of powerful
searchlights. They hesitated and
started t o retire. At that
moment a heavy fire of rifles and
artillery was concentracted on
the mass of German troops and
they were cut to pieces. The
mass of bodies formed a mound
in some places many feet high.
To drown out the groans of the
wounded the German bugles
sounded martial airs and the
troops united in cheering.
“Near one fort two columns of
Germans, blinded by the glare of
Belgian searchlights, attacked
each other. This incident was
seen from the fort. When one
side seemed to have the better of
the struggle, the Belgian officers
go on to say our artillery fired
into both sides alike, thus mak-
ing the struggle more even.”

HE European war has been in progress for just one month, and
• while the markets of the United States have been seriously
affected, we are Very fortunate as compared to those countries
which are actually engaged in the fighting. We can certainly
sit by and wait for the markets to open; and even though our
products sell at a greately reduced price, our losses will not be
serious as compared to those of Europe. The financial situation
seems to be clearing up considerably in the East, and it is probable
that the foreign market for cotton will again become active as
soon as the means of transportation are provided. » .
Our merchants and banks and farmers are all working to-
gether, and all are showing the spirit of helpfulness. The banks
are in good condition, and though we have all the loans that we
want right now, yet we are continuing to help our customers
where it is necessary. We expect to continue to do this, and it is
for the good of the entire country that every body who has a little
spare money, should deposit it in his bank where it can be used to
help somebody else. Your money is absolutely safe in any good
bank, and unless you need your money there is no more occasion
for drawing it out than there is for asking some good man to pay
a note that he owes you when you do not need the money.
When lending money to an individual the question is usually
asked, ‘How much is he worth?” Everybody understands this to
mean, how much property has he after paying all he owes? In the
case of a bank the same question is put in this form: “How much-
Capital Surplus and Undivided Profits has it?” This simply means
how much is the bank worth after paying all it ows. And as we
judge an individual’s ability to pay his debts by his net-worth, so
we judge the bank’s ability,to pay its depositors by its net-worth.
This bank has a Capital of S50,000.00, Surplus of $50,000-00 and
Undivided Profits of more than $50,000.00. In addition to this,
our Shareholders are liable for another $50,000.00. Our Actual
Net-worth is therefore over 8200,000.00. The Safety of your
deposits lies in our strength, and the satisfaction of doing business
with us, lies in our earnest desire to please you,
