LAVENSTElN BROS.

One of the younger and most pro-
gressive firms that have in the last
few years opened up in Blackstone Is
the firm of Layenstein Brothers. A
concern which has SO successfully con-
Quoted stores in other towns and cities,
and one that has fully lived up to Its
reputation since opening its doors in
Blackstone. Mr.. Layenstein is himself
managing his store at Blackstone. and
the success that they have met with Is
largely due to Mr. Lavenstein's ex-
perience in buying. He knowing at all
times the wishes of the people of his
community and having at all times a
desire to please his customers, his
store has become popular with the
buying public of that section. They
carry In stock at all times a large
stock of ladies' and gents suits and
furnishings, and this. together with
their large line of dry goods and
shoes, gives them one of the most com
piete stocks in Blackstone. Agents
for one of the largest tailoring estab-
lishments in the country. they each
year make large number of suits for
a discriminating trade. Mr.. Laven-
stein is polite and attentive to bust
ness and has drawn many customers
to his store on account Of this fact.

WAR HURTS LUMBER TRADE.
Southern Operators Foresee Heavy
Loss Because OF Conflict.

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 17.-Because
the export lumber trade from the
United States has been heavy and be-
cause most OF these shipments would
be contraband, as all building of homes
in the war zone has been stopped,
southern lumbermen foresee q heavy
loss in their industry on account of
the European war. Already the ship
ment OF lumber from southern ports is
entirely paralyzed. Great losses already
have been sustained through the seiz-
ure of vessels which were on the high
seas when war was declared, or
through cargoes diverted to points at
which the timber cannot readily be
sold, because lumber intended for ex-
port to one country is very seldom in
such shape as TO be readily salable in
another. In actual figures. the coun-
tries directly or indirectly involved in
war take each year about 100000, 600
board feet OF American timber Of
which about $4,000, 900 feet is south
ern yellow pine.

U. S. ATLANTIC FLEET
ORDERERD Modified
President, on Navy Boards Advice,
Plans Neutrality Protection.

Washington, ID. G, Sept. 1S.--As a
result Of consideration given the mat
ter by the president, and Secretary
OF the Navy Daniels. an order was is
sued by the latter directing the mobil-
ization OF the lighting battleships in
the Atlantic ocean.
This action was taken in accordance
with the recommendation of the gem
eral board OF the navy.
The president was greatly impressed
by the boards argument portraying
the necessity OF providing adequate
means to defend the neutrality OF the
United States and pointing out that
the consequence of the scattering OF
the fleet is loss OF efficiency. The
fleet will assemble Immediately after
the withdrawal from Vera Cruz of the
military expedition at that point,
which is under the command Of Gen.
Funston.
IL is not deemed advisable by the
president and the secretary of the navy
TO order the battleships north until
after the evacuation of the Mexican
port. BY the practically simultan
eous withdrawal OF the soldiers and
the ships the president hopes to inn
press the Carraza government with the
friendly attitude OF the administration

IS A WAR HERO
Commander Of English Army in
Belgium Has Brilliant Career

London, Sept. lS.--General Sir Hor-
ace Lockwood Smith Dorrien. hero Of
the historic retreat OF the English from
Belgium. has long been known as one
OF the best fighting officers in the
British army. From his entry into the
service In 1876 down TO and through
the Boer war he saw almost constant
service in the field. extending from
Zululand To the northwest frontier OF
India.
Educated at Harrow, he Joined when
Is years old the Sherwood Foresters
Al the disastrous battle of lsandulas I'm
1879, he was one of the few officers
who by his athletic powers as run
ner and swimmer. escaped the Zulu
warriors, and lived To take part in the
battle OF Llundi, when Cetewayo was
finally disposed OF. He was mention
ed in dispatches, and since then hon
ors have fallen fast upon him.
Fought 80 Years Ago.
General Smith Dorrien was in the
Egyptian campaign OF 1882, in which
year he raised and commanded q
corps OF mounted infantry, and in
1885, with his mounted infantry, did
good work at Suakin. Returning to
Egypt In 1898, he took part in the Nile
expedition, and was present at the
battle OF Khartoum, and in the subse-
quent operations in the Soudan.
In the Boer war General Smith-Dor-

bringing about the capture OF Cronje
and his army. BY his attack upon the
Beers on the Modder River the Cor
| dons, the Canadians, and the Roya
| Engineers secured a strong position
from which they enfiladed the enemy''
trenches, and by preventing them from
drawing water, precipitated Cronje's
surrender He afterwards commanded
the lines of communication from Kron'
stadt to Pretoria. His work was three
| times mentioned in dispatches and his
reward was the Queens medal will
four clasps and promotion to majo'
general for distinguished service in thu
