PICNIC AT WHITTINGTON PARK
NEXT WEEK FROM PUBLISHED
PROGRAM SEEMS TO BE GATH-
ERING OF SOCIALISTS.
It has developed that the great far-
mers picnic advertised for Whltting-
ton park next week is nothing more
or less than a gathering promoted by
the socialist party of this city and
county and the advertisement of the
affair as appearing in the last issue
of the socialist organ in this city
contained part of the program which
contained several well known social-
ist spellbinders who will address
the people on their pet hallucination.
It was the Intention of the candi-
dates for county offices when the af-
fair was first promulgated to be pres-
ent and contribute toward the festi-
vities of the occasion also they were
willing to bear their part of the ex-
pense but since the affair is gotten
up for the seeming purpose of giving
the kumrids a chance to unload a lot
of hot air the candidates to a man
have declined the kind invitation and
it Is within the bounds of possibility
that the only Farmers? who will be
present on this festive occasion will
be those of the red card persuasion.
Completed Two New Bricks.
C. L. Byrne and Homer Hinkle
have recently completed two one-
story bricks on East Main street and
both of them are occupied by ten-

In
the greatest single day's gain made by the Iiritish Kine their offensive began on July 1 they captured three vil-
lages on their way toward Hapaume the important railroad center which is believed to be the present Iiritish
objective. The map shows the Iiritish line as it wan before July 1 when the advance began and the gain
made by the strong one day's advance. The Hermans have consistently attempted since the war began to con-
ceal the names of the generals who command in various' sectors of the western f rent but it is known that
General von Einem whose picture is shown has a very IhrIi command perhaps the highest in opposing the
French and British offensive. He is a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war of 1S70-'71.

COMPANY IS IN CITY AND IT IS
BELIEVED THAT A SETTLE-
MENT WILL BE EFFECTED.
Mr. Turner the partner to Mr. A.
J. McQuatter8 of the McQuatters
Plumbing Co. the contractors who
put down the main street paving is
in town in an effort to make some
adjustment of the repair work on the
paving here and avoid a suit on the
maintenance bond. The city officials
have had this question up for some
time and it is to be Sloped that they
will make some form of adjustment
that will enable people to pas3 over
the main streets at least.
The question of getting the streets
of the city repaired has been the
bone of contention between the city
and the contractors for several years
there seems to have been some con-
troversy over the bond under which
the streets were supposed to be main-
tained for a certain period.
J. S. Downard has Deen furnishing
material to the city for some recent
repairs which the city has begun and
some repairs have already been star-
ted on the streets. City Attorney
Drown and Mr. Turner will be in con-
ference with the city officials today
and he states that he is confident
that a satisfactory settlement will
be made.
