( London, Spt. 27.—The great offens-
ive of the French and British forces
against both sides of the elbow joint
of the German positions on the west-
ern front has not slackened, but Gen-
eral Joffre’s afternoon bulletin re-
ported no new outstanding success.
The British official statement told
briefly of heavy losses inflicted on the
Germans northwest of Hulluch, where
heavy German counter-attacks were
carried out during the course of the
day.
Berlin maintains that by means of
counter-attacks the allies’ drives have
been checked, with heavy loss, but as
the Germans make no claim of having
recovered the ground taken from them
the indications are the allied gain on
Saturday and Sunday have been gen-
erally maintained and at some points
improved and that the fighting has
reached the state of vicious attack
and counter-attack which may per-
sist for weeks.
It is estimated that the prisoners
captured by the allies during 4he rush-
will reach a total of more than twen-
ty-three thousand, but this is offset
to some extent by the German claims
that nearly seven thousand French
and British fell into their hands.
Denied further news of the great
battle, England is awaiting develop-
ments with an oagerness not equaled
since the critical days when the Ger-
mans fell back from the gates of
Paris. In the meantime, the public is
warned to expect heavy losses and
that the Germans, already two million
strong from the coast to the Swiss
frontier, may throw reinforcements
into the line for a struggle the like
of which even this bloody war has
not yet seen. >
Optimists also are reminded that
the Germans are likely to put the
most dependence on their second and
third line defenses, relying upon ma-
chine guns and comparatively few
men to hold the front line, which
means that a difficult ta^k is before
the allies.
The fighting in the eastern theater
has brought no important change, but
England regards the position of the
Russian arms as improving daily,
which strengthens the hope here that
Germany dare not weaken her 700-
mile front in order to fill the gaps in
the west.
The Bulgarian situation remains
obscure, -resting as it did last week
on the oft-repeated assurance of Sofia
that the country intends merely to
maintain an armed neutrality.

Simmons, Texas, Sept. 26.—While
meditating on the present and review-
ing the past, I remember having prom-
ised several of my old Hopkins coun-
ty friends to write to the Gazette fre
quently. I will write a brief account
of our trip:
We left Sulphur Springs Sept..: 1st.
in our 5 passenger Xrit. Everything
went fine ’till . reaching Cumby we
found we had lost our ter.t, so .we
stopped and through the courtesy of
Mr. Graves we telephoned to Brashear.
They told us our tent was strapped on
the car at that place, but before
leaving the pohne a man drove in with
our tent on his wagon.
Leaving Cumby we traveled via
Campbell and Neyland and hired a
man to pull us out of a mud hole in
Sabine bottom. We arrived in the
city of Greenville about 2:30. Learn-
ing the road to Dallas via Rockwall
was impossible, v e started north to
Merit. Out 4 miles we broke i
spindle- and hired our car hauled
back to Greenville, where we had it
repaired. Leaving again the 2nd, at
10 a. m. we found some terrible black
land roads passing via Merit, Farmers-
ville, Princeton, McKinney and Plano.
We sjpent the night at Plano. On the
3rd we started-out on good roads,
soon arriving in Dallas. Leaving Dal-
las at 11 a. m. we passed Lancaster, 1
Italy and Waxahachie, reaching Hills-
boro at night.
On leaving Hillsboro we found
some bad roads. We passed Abbott,
Menlo, West Takio, Waco,; had only
two blow-outs before noon. We soon
passed Heuitt, Lorena, then had an-
other puncture. Stopped at Bruceville
to get some repairs then passed Eddy
and Temple. We spent the night 5
miles south of Temple. Sept. 5th
we started about 7 a. m. passing |

IN MEMORIUM
At the home of her father, near
Bethel, on Sept. 21 at 12:15 p. m. the
spirit of little - Clara Smith returned
to the God who gave it.
She was 8 years, five weeks and one
day old. Her little body was interred
in the Forest Academy cemetery, Rev.
Wood of Como conducting the funeral
service.
Her mother and little sister 4 pre-
ceded her to the spirit land, having
gone on some six years ago, and her
father, Mr. Jim Smith, is the last of
the once happy little family.
It seemed so hard to have to give
her up when her father loved her so
dearly, but God knows best, His will
be done.
All was done that loving _____
could do, for her grandmother was{eat.

changes to the extent of completely
reversing itself. We remember when,
we. were a small barefoot'boy—small
boy, not small feet, they constituted
the larger part of our anatomy—we
carried around with us an appetite
several times too large for us. We
had one consuming desire, one ambi-
tion which we determined to realize,
and that was to accumulate money
enough to go to town and buy us just
as much canned salmon as we eould
Later on, after nursing this am-

child as obedient and one that bore
her afflictions with such patience and
fortitude. Her sickness was of long
duration and her suffering intense, but
s}ie was never heard to murmur or
complain. We deeply sympathize with
the bereaved father and other rel-

know their loss is heaven’s gain and
what God does is surely done well,
for she is safe in the arms of Jesus
and free from every temptation in

FOR A GOOD NORTH
AND SOUTH ROAD
San Antonio, Sept. 30.—And now
“flying squadrons” are to invade East
Texas—in a line from Paris to Hous-
ton—in the interest of a Red River
to the Gulf Highway. The “squadrons”
or parties made up of good roads ad-
vocates will leave Houston and Paris
and work toward Palestine, at which
j place preparations' are going on for a
great good roads meeting to be held
in all liklihood Oct. 13. The object
of the meeting is to crystalize the
wide-spread sentiment along this
route for a hard-surfaced highway—in
other words, to get the people toge-
ther and tell them exactly what is to
j he done to get a road they have been
wanting for years.
The movement, of course, isn’t alto-
gether for getting a good road north
and south but is a part of the Texas
Good Road Association’s plan of up-
building all roads. The main line will
bring about the existence of
Watches, Talking Machines,
Clocks, Door Locks
Jewelry, Guns,
Spectacles, Pistols,
Typewriters, Bicycles,
Sewnig Machines,
Or anything else that Is broken.
I sharpen scissors. Give me a
trial.

THE EXACT TRUTH
“A train leaves New York,” sup-
posed the teacher, “traveling 40 miles
an hour. It is followed 30 minutes
later by a train running 80 miles an
hour. At what point will the second
train run into the first?”
The class seemed at a loss; that Is,
all except Willie Green, who was
standing in the aisle vigorously wag-
ging his hand.
“Well, Willie,” said the teacher.
“At the hind end of the rear car,
ma’am,” answered Willie.
Acute Indigestion.
"I was annoyed for over a year by
attacks of acute indigestion, followed
by constipation,” writes Mrs. M. J.
Gall&gheK Geneva, N. Y. “I tried ev-
erything that was recommended to
me for this complaint but nothing did
me much good until about four months
ago I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets ad-
vertised and procured a bottle of them
from our druggist. I soon realized
that I had gotten the right thing for

two bottles of them I can eat heartily
