over and peace and harmony
: geigns again in our Town. Some are
satisfied over the election returns,
some are dissatisfied and some wear
don't car look" But only the mar
row minded and conceited fellow will
get mad over an election This would
be great country if verybody believ-
ed the same way. The election in
Barbour county might not suit some
Of us, but why kick? Why not all
pull together for the betterment of our
county?
T. B. Teter and wife, of Belington,
were down on the farm Tuesday and

One of our district candidates on
the Republican ticket, who was de-
feated in the election, is reported as
missing. 1t is reported that he fell
out of the boat on his way up "Salt
River and got drowned.
T. W. Goodwin and wife, of Sweet
Water, were visiting at J. ]. England's
Sunday afternoon.
Our 63rd congress spent $428, 000,-
SGT for war purposes, and at the same
time the nation was called upon to
pray for peace in Europe. That's fun
ny, isn't it? Not only the United
States prepares for war, but all ma
tons, even in time of peace they make
greater preparations for war AS
long as the nations prepare for war
they will have it. Why not vote for
the disarming of all country's?
The United States alone spends
$3,000,000,0O0 yearly for immortality
and social diseases. S250,O00,000
year for church work at home $12,-
100000 for church work in foreign
fields. More than ten times as much
money is now spent in debauching
womanRood and wrecking homes, as
there is spent in supporting religion
here and forwarding it abroad.
Why is it?
Charlie Kittle, of Valley district,
was visiting friends on Wolfe Run
Sunday past.
Miss Maud Wilfong was visiting at
j. B. Wills Sunday
A fellow that has a chance to vote
and then won't go to the polls on cleo
ton day, ought to be taken behind the
barn and curried with bed Stat.
(Note-Probably you did not offer
him enough for his vote.--Ed)
The citizens of the United States
have more freedom and liberty than
can be found in any other nation on
the globe and the right to vote is about
the only freedom that can be found in
this country. And then the fellow
that won't exercise his right to vote,
ought to be branded as an undesir-
able citizen.

REPULSE ATTACKS OF ALLIES
Berlin Claims Enemy's Assaults in Di'
rection of La 5oiseIIe Were
Failures.

Berlin, Dec. 28.--The following Off
cial statement was issued here:
Nothing of Importance happened in
Flanders yesterday with the exception
that English ships appeared off the
coast in the morning.
In the region of Albert, in the direc-
ton of La Boiselle, the enemy's ad-
vancing movement was unsuccessful
and we made a successful counter-at-
tack. At Meurissens in the Argonnes
and to the southeast of Verdun the
French attacks were broken by our
fire. 80
In Upper Alsace the French made
attacks on our positions east of the
line from Thann to Dammerlirch, but
were repulsed. During night attack
the French took possession of an inn
portant height to the east Of Thanh,
but were repulsed by a vigorous coun-
ter-attack, and the height is in our
possession. r

Villa and Zapata.

Mexico City, Dec. 28.-Provisional
President Gutierrez issued a circular
to all generals of the armies of the
convention ordering them in most ex-
plicit terms to cease all summary exc
cutions for whatsoever offense. A copy
of the circular was sent to Generals
Villa and Zapata. The statement said:
UNLESS some central authority is to
be recognized in the near future the
most serious crisis in the history of
Mexico soon will be reached Presi-
dent Gutierrez is tired of receiving the
brunt of all the complaints of the for
eign diplomats. Only yesterday an or
der of the president concerning the
safe conduct OF Eduardo Iturbide was
ignored by commanding general, who
insisted on the rearrest of Iturbide
and who severely criticized Leon Con-
ova, a representative Of the American
state department, who was accompany
ing Iturbide to the American border. -

NACO is SAFE AGAIN
VILLAS TROOPS LIFT SIEGE OF
BORDER TOWN..
Gov. Maytorena Takes Force Away
During the Night-Citizens
Praise Leader.

Naco, Ariz., Dec. 2S.-United States
citizens of this town came out of their
bomb-proofs, took down the steel plates
from their windows and joyously top
pied over the baled hay barbados
surrounding their bullet-riddled dwell
lings.
The siege of the Mexican town of
Naco was lifted Saturday night. Satur-
day morning it was seen that Gov.
Jose Maria Maytorena, the command
er of the Mexican besiegers, had evac-
uated his Entertainments under cover
of darkness and withdrawn his forces
a distance of five miles to the east,
south and west of the position he has
held for the last two months.
The United States side of the line
at Naco is now safe. Citizens of the
town are showering praises on May
torena for loosening his strangle grip
on the last large force of Carranzistas
in the province of Sonora.
For six months Maytorena has
chased Gen. Benjamin Hill, the COM
mander of the besieged forces. from
one place to another, bombarded him
from one position to another, and for
the last two months has had him
backed up against the international
border line here at Naco.
Brigadier General Scott said during
the day that Maytorena had partly
complied with the request made upon
him by the state department at Wash
ington. He refused to say that the
granting of his request would cause
The state department to equalize the
consequent disadvantages by closing
the customs on General Hill.
"The negotiations are progressing
favorably," said General Scott. 81
must submit the whole matter to
Washington and await instructions
from the state department l expect
that everything will come out in sew
eral days.
