Two Real Estate Deals.

During the lull in business on
account of war, drouth and 9TH
err troubles, we have not been
able to do our usual amount of
business, but in the past thirty
days our business has been
about normal, and at present,
prospects are very flattering for
the future. We have closed two
deals the past week selling to
Mr.. Harding of Hillsboro, Ohio,
Mr.. Zimmerman's farm West of
Paris and Mr.. E. B. Cowan, of
Dickson. the Miss Laura Shouse

We have on file in our office
more applicants for farms than
we have ever had at one time be-
fore. Several from Ohio and a
number from Kentucky, where
our Mr.. w. G. Adams has gone
at this writing to interest buyers
buyers and do some advertising.
We have had a number of in
quiries lately about property that
is not listed with us. If you
don't list your property we can't
sell it. List it and if there is no
sale made it will not cost you one
cent. So if you want to sell now
is a good time to list while we
have a big string of buyers.

CATTLE PLAGUE

For the purpose of locating all
shipments of cattle and sheep
which have been made from the
Chicago Union Stock Yards to
points in Tennessee since Octo-
Der l, in order that a State or
Federal Inspector may be sent to
examine them for foot and
mouth disease, the State De-

the newspapers of Tennessee
seeking their aid in getting be-
fore the people the imperative
necessity of locating these ship

examined.
The letter follows:

only agency upon which we can

Again he paused and gazed steadily
at the fire. Again Magee noted the

Mr.. Magee tossed it on the fire. There
followed a shower of sparks and a
flood Of red light in the room. Through
this light Kendrick advanced to Ma
gees side, and the first of the Bald
pate hermits saw that the mans face
was lined by care, that his eyes were
tired even under the new light in
them. that his mouth was twisted bit
terly.
"Poor DEVIL thought Magee.
Kendrick drew up chairs for himself
and Magee and they sat down. Be

ed, dreaming perhaps Of her Reuton

and the professor talked intermittently
in low tones. The ranks at Baldpate
were thinning rapidly; before long the
place must settle back with a sigh In
the cold to wait for its first summer
girl.

", ''you have become involved in an
unkind, a tragic story. l do not mean

strategic considerations will force a
withdrawal.
The center from the Disc to the
Argonnes has witnessed no change
for more than a week. Here both
armies remain in strong entrench-
ments, their fate depending on the
battles in the west and east. The
army of the crown prince is still be-
ing pressed backward in the Woerve
region, while the French columns
advancing from Toul and Nancy
have forced the Germans to lift their
siege of certain of the Meuse forts.
Petrograd.-The Germans, defeat
ed along the Niemen, have now re-
formed just inside of the Russian
frontier and are endeavoring to re-
sumo the offensive, according to re-
ports received here today.
Fighting is also in progress all
along the Polish frontier, where the
Russians are delivering a series of at
tacks on the German entrenched
positions. At Kutnow the Germans
were defeated and forced to retreat
with loss of 1000 and two heavily
armOred automobiles.
1t is announce dthat the Cars ar
rival at the front was the signal for
patriotic demonstrations after which
the Russian soldiers, in a series of
wild attacks on the Germans, gained
decisive victories at nearly every
point.
The fighting in Galicia still con-
tinues with the Austro-German
forces remaining on the defensive.
Paris.-LieUt. Harold Pearson, son
of Lord Cowdray, noted oil financier,
who was taken prisoner at the battle
of Marne, was later shot and killed
by German sentry while trying to es-
cape.
Hon. Westman Harold Pearson

of China's neutrality. Chinese gov
ernment has notified Toxic that the
action is regarded as a hostile one.
Antwerp.-Despite the continued
bOmbardment of the southern forts
the general staff today in an official
statement denied the German con-
tentiOn that the fire of some of the
minor forts has been silenced.
THE situation continues eX-
cellent," says the statement. Every
single fort in the defenses of Ant
werp is in action. At no points have
the Germans made gains. We can
hold out indefinitely"
The German commander has been
approached by the American minis
ter, who remains in Brussels, accord
ing to reports received here, and ask
ed to spare as much as possible the
historic structures of this city. Ac-
cOrding to advices received here, the
German general stated that he would
do so as long as the Belgians do not
use them for military purposes.
ReinfOrcements have arrived in
the city and have been sent out to aid
the forts in TepelliGg German attacks.
