DRIVE GERMANS
 BACK IN NORTH
French Exect to Force Ger man Withdrawal From St. Mihiel By Advance To-
 ward Metz.

Paris, Oct. 19.-I'he three o.
 clock official statement says the French continue to drive the Germans back in the north. The Belgians, concentrating inside the Belgian frontier, have driven the Germans to Roulers, thir- { lteee miles northeast of Courtar. N The Allied left is advancing toward Lille and severe fighting is taking place at Labassee and in the small villages of Ablain and St. Nazairei in that vicinity, with the French advancing slow ly.
 There has been incessant fighting for ten days around Arras, with a German counter 1. attack at Chaulenes repulesed.
 It is expected that the Ger mans will be forced to evacuate St. Mihiel, because the French are steadily approaching. The French forces from Nancy and bul continue to advance a. long the Moselle valley with Metz as the objective but rains and cold are retarding their pro- gress.
 Severe fighting is occurring at Nieuport south of Ostend, and South Thourout, between Ar nNntieres and Lille. The gov ernment claims that the Ger man invasion through Southern Belgium has been definitely checked. :.

FIRST FAIR
 A BIG SUCCESS
While Association Is About S9O0 Short, With Year And Wea. ther Considered Show
 ing Is Splendid.

The Jackson County Fair has come to stay because in one of the worst crop years in the his- tory of the county and with a foreign war demoralizing the price of cotton, our chief staple, the first annual fair in the face of these conditions and cloudy, cold or rainy weather that con- tributed only one good day out of four, has scored a remark able success and great credit and praise is due the many loyal and public spirited workers, who contributed to this result.
 The fair association received about $3,200 in the sale of stock and the grounds were pur- chased at cost of $2,000; to this was added S1, 400 in perma- nent improvements, track, fenc- ing, grand stand and exhibit hall. All the purses and extra attractions including band, per- forming horses and dogs etc. have been paid for in full as well as the stock premiums. It is roughly estimated that about $500 in small premiums is yet to be paid and that about $250 indebtedness on small items is the total deficit about $950 or Outstanding. This would run about $75O not including the permanent improvements.
 These figures are estimated, a financial statement will be published later along with the winners of all exhibit premiums. Ehe adverse conditions under which this fair was staged if changed to favorable surround ings will make stock in the Jackson Count Fair Association a good dividendpayer and insure the permanence of a county fair, that will grow each year in val ue to the people and in public favor.
 /, Saturday, the final day, was all that could be asked. The gate receipts ran over $500 and the grand stand was inadequate for the crowd. The double rac- ing bill was thoroughly enjoyed. The three mile automobile race between Sheriff J. F. McCuis- tion in Ford and Walter Coe in Metz was won by the latter,
 In the 2:25 pace, for purse of $125, Hal Fuller won three straight heats, pulling down $75 with Victory and Bonnie Lane getting second and third money. Best time 2:20.
 Next case thme the 2:30 trot, in which Bonita took three straights, Nina Jarvin and Yachting Girl second and third, respectively, total purse $125. Best time 2:27.
 In the mile dash for a S100 purse, Ben Lasca won first, Ken meth Mack second and Oma J. third, upon whose driver the judges imposed a s, fine; time 1850.
