The sale of the H. F. Hammock
farm near Pembroke. which was to
have taken place Friday. conducted
by the Burton Bros Realty Company,

sale off was not reached until after
the crowd had gathered at the Ham
mack home. A fine barbecued dinner
was served and the Third regiment
band from the city was on hand and
gave a highly appreciated concert,
but owing to the unfayorable wealth
er it was thought best not to attempt
to hold sale.
Further announcement will be
made of the new date.

CARNIVAL
BIG SUCCESS
The High School Shows Cleared
More Than One Hundred
Dollars.
MISS MARGARET RIVES WINS.
Was Awarded Prize In The
Most Popular Lady
Contest.
Mss MARGARET RIVES WINS.

The High School Carnival closed
Saturday night, having proven one
of the greatest successes ever at
tanned by the students of the High
School.
In spite of the inclement weather,
the building was thronged both Fri
day and Saturday and the crowd was
delighted with the productions.
All the attraction were full of life
and ginger. The halls, rooms, booths
and shows were all attractively deco
rated and the whole high school
seemed to take on an aspect of mer-
riment.
The carnival ended with a bur-
lesque presentation of the Minstrel,
after which it was announced that
Miss Margaret Rives had won the
contest for the most popular young
lady. She was given the prize, a
handsome box of candy, which was
presented by G. N. Duffer.
1t would be impossible to give due
praise to all the many elements which
tended to make the Carnival one of
the most brilliant achievements in
the history Of the High School. 1t
suffices to say that in every way the
Fair was a great success.

Manager Wesley Dalton, who handled
the business of the Carnival with ex.

The Carnival was a great success
financially and from its proceeds the
Athletic Association will be entirely
freed of debt. The amount cleared
above expenses, was more than a
hundred dollars.

Along the Aisne and in the Cham
payne district the French artillery,
now probably stronger than the Ger
man, has been keeping the Germans
on the move, but in the Argonne
region it is the Germans who are on
the offensive, and they claim slight
advance.
The general opinion of military
men here is that some time must
elapse before the allies can expect to
make any very marked progress. Be
sides being in fortified positions,
which could only be taken after hav-
ing been thoroughly searched out by
the artillery, the Germans still have
more machine guns than the allies,
and, as has had been proved in pre-
vious battles, so long as they can be
successfully operated, make infantry
attacks too costly to he attempted.
The Servian and Montenegro arm
les again have Joined hands after de-
feat of the Austrians who invaded
Servia, and are now making their
second advance toward Sarayevo,
capital of Bosnia. The two armies,
with supplies replenished by cap
lures, have formed a junction near
Vishegrad, which the Montenegrins
have occupiud. They expect to be
berore Sarayevo within three or -four
days.
The first Boer rebel to pay the ex-
IRENE penalty was Captain Fourie,
a former officer in the union defense
force, executed at Pretoria yes
terday morning. This would seem
to indicate that any of the officers of
the union defense force who joined
the rebellion, especially the leaders,
will be severely dealt with.

BATTLE OF WARSAW
NEXT BIG MOVE
German INVADERS Advancing On Capital Are Subborny Op
posed by Reinforced Russian Army
BRIDGES BURNED BY CARS TROOPS
Two DeaChments of Pursuers Practically Annhiated Efy
Survivors Being Taken Prisoners Allies
In West Gain Ground

London, Dec. 21.-The Germans
advancing on Warsaw over wide
front between the Vistula and the
Pilicia rivers have reached the new
Russian positions, with the result
that another big battle is in progress.
The Russians retired across the
Bzura, destroying the bridges behind
them. Two German detachments
who followed over a partly burned
bridge are saidto have been practi-
cally annihilated, fifty survivors be-
ing taken prisoners.
This is only the beginning of the
great battle for Warsaw, from which
the Germans now are not more than
thirty miles distant. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg expects stern re-
sistance which the strongly rein
forced Russian army is certain to Of
fer. They are protected by the Wis
tula river, which the Germans have
been unable to cross.
The Russians are continuing OPP
erations against East Prussia as
though the capital of Poland were
not threatened. and by counter at
lacks are attempting to throw of
the Austro- German attacks in Cali
cha. An Austrian sortie in force
from Przemysl. according to the
Russian official statement, has entire
ly failed.
The offensive operations of the
allies in the west are being carried
out under conditions of siege war
fare, and are being stubbornly OPP
posed by the Germans. who IN their
entertainments and surrounded by
wire entanglements, make an ad-
vance of even a few yards very cost
| ly for the attacking forces.
In Flanders the all es have gained

Along the coast the allies warship;
continually are bombarding the Ger
man positions. The advance has beer
more marked from the Belgian Dor
dea south to the river Disc, where
the ground is not as wet as in thC
flooded regions of Flanders.

MORE CHANGES
in PROSPECT
Council Still Had Trouble Over
The License Ordinance
Friday Night.

But little was done at the Council
meeting Friday night. No attempt
was made to give the amended Ii
cense ordinance its second passage.
On the contrary, a new lot of pro-
testants appeared. The auto men
put up a strong objection to the
proposed license on automobile own
ers. E. H. Higgins. DR.. j. H. Rice.
and DR.. ]. G. Gather all had some
thing to say. Z. w. Glass also
appeared to enter objection to the
changes in the hack licenses, affect
ing many colored people. Some of
the councilmen expressed themselves
as favoring more changes in the or
dinance and an adjourned meeting
will be held to- night. The tobacco
license is apparently dead and it is
expected that the ordinance will be
re-considered and practically all
new features stricken out. The or
dinance as it now stands is practi-
cally a re-enactment of the present
one, excepting as to the tobacco and
vehicle features. Mayor Yost an
nounced that no slot machine privi-
Ieges would be granted saloons an
other year. Several of them have
been permitted to install slot ma
chimes this year.

.OWENSBORO
WATER co
Wins Over The City In a Fed
eral Court
Suit.

Greensboro, KY, Dec. 21.-The
Owensboro Water Works company
has won the first decision in its suit
filed against the city of Owensboro
in the United States court.
Judge Walter Evans in an opinion
handed down on Thursday in Louis
vile and received in Greensboro this
morning, sustained the contention Of
water company and made perpetual
the injunction granted several weeks
ago, prohibiting the city of Ovens
boro or any of its employees from in
terfering with its corporate rights
under its franchise to operate its
plant in this city,
The case was argued in Louisville
about one week ago by Messrs. Clar-
ence M. Finn, Capt. w. t. Ellis and
Jas. ]. Sweeney, representing the
water company, while arguments for
the city were made by City Attorney
Geo. S. Wilson, Ben d. Ringo and La
Vega Clements.
The suit grew out of the conten-
ton over the proper construction to
be given the ordinance of June 8,
1889, which granted to the Owens.
boro Water Works company. its sue.
cessors and assigns, during the cor
porate existence of the company. the
right or franchise to use the streets,
alleys and other public ways of the
city, for placing therein service pipes
and water mains.
1t was the contention of counsel
for the city that inasmuch as the life
of the old water company was limit
ed by its articles of incorporation tc
the initial period of twenty five
years, the franchise was limited tc
the same duration.
The attorneys for the water COM
pany argued that the general cor
poration laws of Kentucky gave tc
the stockholders the right by appro-
pirate proceedings to extend the cor
porate life by filing amended articles
of incorporation. which was done by
the stockholders of the company on
May 6, 1914. 1t was also commended
by the water company that the ex.
tention of its corporate life likewise
extended its franchise. and that the
ordinance of June 3, 1889. constitu-
ted an irrevocable and irrepealable
contract. that will continue during
the existeuce of the company, which
may, in the discretion Of the stock
holders be perpetual.
The decision of Judge Evans came
as great surprise to City Attorney
Wilson and his associate counsel,
who were very sanguine Of winning
