Peabody Closes.

The last public meeting of the sum
mer session of George Peabody college
for teachers was held in the large tent
that throughout the summer session,
has served as an auditorium. The
meeting was not materially different
from other assemblies, except in the
feeling that it was the last one, and
also in that there was no set speech,
but President Payne talking, as it
were, personally and confidentially
with nearly 1900 perons, who have
made up the school this summer. The
crowd was larger than ordinary, too.
Always heretofore some students found
It impossible to be at assembly. But
this time the assembly was practically
the school, both as to students and fac
ulty members.
Mr. Payne began by expressing his
appreciation for the faculty. Il am
certain it is a fact" he said, "that we
have here the largest number Of the
most thorough and typical instructors
ever assembled at one place in the
south. They came here at sacrifice,
voluntarily to help the teachers of the
south, at a much smaller compensa-
tion than they could have had else
where. If it were necessary | could
literally prove that statement as to ev-
cry single one of them. Probably the
most remarkable thing is that they
have put up with all the hardships
they have had to bear without a single
complaint. They have done everything
from janitor's duty up. In every sin
gle instance they have gone beyond
what they were invited here to do.
They came here from all parts of the
Union and, in two days after they ar.
rived, they displayed the same enthu.
siasm for this institution as for the
institutions in which they have labored
all their lives"

Great Stock Show.

An enthusiastic meeting was held
In the courthouse at Bolivar for the
purpose of providing for the free ex-
hibit of the live stock and agricul-
tural products of this county. The
date is to be set later.
The meeting was called to order
by the election of II. E. Carter, Chair
man, and Edwin F. Polk, Secretary.
Over one hundred we're present, and
addresses were made by several. Dan
B. Goock of Selmer made a very en-
couraging talk, setting forth the many
advantages McNairy county had de-
rived from the free exhibits held there
each fall.
Hardeman county can boast of the
finest herd of shorthorn cattle in the
world, raised on the Lespesdeza farm
of H. B. Duryea at Hickory Valley,
Tenn. He has given much encourage
ment to this move and promises his
hearty cooperation. The exhibit will
last two or three days, and will at
tract great crowds from all parts of
the county. The committee appoint
ed at the mass-convention Is actively
engaged in advertising the exhibit,
and some very fine stock is to be seen
there.

Brussels, via Paris.-Several thou.
sand dead and wounded is the toll paid
by the German army of the Mouse for
its attack on Liege. The Belgians
made an heroic defense, repulsing the
Germans after heavy and continuous
fighting.
The fortified position of Liege had
to support the general shock of the
German attack. The Belgian forts re-
sisted the advance fiercely and did not
suffer. One Belgian squadron attacked
and drove back six German squadrons.
Eight hundred wounded Germans
are being transferred to the city Of
Liege, where they will be cared for.
Prior to the attack on Liege, Gen.
Won Emmich commanding the German
army of the Mouse, issued a procla'
nation calling for an open road
through Belgium for the advance OF
his forces and suggesting that pru.
dence would show it TO be the duty of
the Belgian people to accede to this
to avoid the horrors of war.
The Germans committed aggressions
against the civil population of the town
of Wise, eight miles northeast of Liege,
burning the city and shooting many
residents.
Belgian accommodating parties locat-
ed three German army corps, the
Tenth army corps at Eysden, the Sew
enth army corps, 10000 strong, at Yer
viers, and the Sixth army corps in an
other locality not named. The Tenth
German army corps is operating along
the northern line and. finding unex
pected resistance, moved further
northward, invading Dutch territory at
Tillburg, and crossing the Mouse at
Eysden.
The Belgian minister of war, in an
official statement, says:
"The Belgians are successfully com
batting the German invasion. The Bel
gian losses are trifling compared with
those of the Germans"
According to reports, French troops
have already entered Belgium antGt
cooperating with the Belgian forces.
The La Peuple says that an early
landing of British trops in Belgium is
expected.
The government has invited the co
| operation of the French troops ant
has given orders to the provincial gov
ernors not to regard the movements
of French troops as violation of the
frontier.

FRANCE PREPARES FOR WAR

Paris.-With marvellous smoothness
and rapidity the French and German
armies are getting into battle array.
While Germany is now ruthlessly
throwing her troops across the Bel
gian border and openly inviting az
gression from Great Britain, France is
coolly and methodically but quickly
lining up her army corps to meet the
first shock.
There is no doubt the first great
land battle in this general war will be
fought on French soil, because Ger.

her western frontiers, while France Is

The third day of mobilization was
the big departure day. Men from
twenty-eight to thirty left by the

are barricaded to all but the military.
Five hundred train loads left in one

an absence of noisy manifestations.
