engaged this summer, Mrs. Gimmons."
Yes" admitted her hostess with a
pleasant smile. ETHEL is engaged to
a perfectly young man. His name is
George Winkum-of the indianapolis
Winkums, you know-and is so good
looking and polite and SO devoted to
Ethel! 1t was quite touching"
You must be relieved" said her
caller. Ethel has had so little atten-
ton here in town. 1t was clever of
you to figure out that change of
location might help. Sometimes
young men are caught in a hurry that
way before they have time to think
what they are doing. They have SO
much spare time on their hands at a
summer resort that they get engaged
before they know It just to kill time.
That's the reason that kind of en-
gagements never last long. l hope
Ethel won't go and spend lot Of
money on a trousseau that she may

mother, Indignantly. George is crazy

at San Francisco and purporting
to have been written by the eId-

ance the dire calamity some Of the
more panic-stricken population pre-
dict. Cotton has been selling since
the opening Of the local market for
eight and nine cents, and it has been
as high as 9la cents while il was
said by those who should have known
that it would hardly go above five or
! six cents. The market seems to be
steady there being only slight varia-
lion since the opening.
Halifax county is one Of the largest
producers Of peanuts in the State,
and with this product selling at a
normal price, with Il probability Of
the price going higher. there is being
developed among the people here a
great deal of optimism, and they
are hoping and expecting better times
just ahead.
Helping to relieve the distress cot
ton, the buy-a-bale spirit has taken
possession of the Scotland Neck peo-
pie, and every man who can possibly
do so is buying him a bale. All up
and down the streets one sees dotted
here and there a bale Of cotton pur-
chased at ten cents.
Some Of the merchants throughout
| the county are taking distress cotton
/ on account at ten cents, and have
announced that they will take all
! they can get in that way. As yet none
! of the Scotland Neck merchants have
done so, but they will yet fall in line
Because they can't afford to do less
for their customers than their neigh
bors, and they are just as willing to
assist as any merchant elsewhere.

gigantic battles and two fort bom-

men are in progress in the eastern
theater Of war today.
General Rennenkampf, with 1000,

leavoring to resist the efforts of
General Won Hindenberg's army to
cross the Niemen river between
Orusskeniri and Grodne. The fight
ing along this line is of the most
severe character. Up to the present
it has been impossible for the Ger
mans to break through.
Another German army is engaged
|with 100000 Russians in the big pine
forest of Augustowo, which is
twenty-four miles long and thirty
five broad and is filled with small
lakes and a canal that connects the
Niemen and the Vistula. This Ger
man army was driven from the vii
Flage Of Auqustowo and is now being
used to protect Hindcnburg's flank
and rear.
At no point has there been any de-
cisive results and it will be several
days before the fighting will reach a
crisis.
