operations.
The German and Austrian war corre-
fighting In the streets of Belgrade was of
a bitter character and that the Serbia ms
displayed great courage until the order
came FOR them to withdraw. The CORE

the Austro-German artillerists were I'M
able to save the public buildings in Bel
grade during the bembardment and that

.WHILE MOTHERS THERE"

The postman has come and brought
me a letter,
The handwriting's shaky; it's al
most a scrawl,
But still, in my judgment, no pen
manship's better,
It's from an old lady who's feeble
and small,
The mother who loves me; the
mother who's yearning
To have me start homeward-
while she is still there,
Whose thoughts to cher boy" miles
away, are e'er turning,
The "boy" for whom, nightly,
she's breathing Dray'r.
1t tells me her roses are Just bit
tardy
The rain has been awful this year,
mother writes,
1t tells me that Rover, the dog, al
ways hardy,
Has lately been hurt in some ter
rible fights.
To you it's inane, gentle reader, l
know it.
To me it's a mighty sweet little
affair,
Some day 1 intend to just pack up
and go it,
And visit that home place-while
mothers still there.

DO LESS "CUSSIN."

II some of our merchants would
spend less time "cusSin" the mail
order houses and more time in
systematic advertising and en-
scuraging the people to trade with
them, there would be. less cause
TO complain of the interference of
the mail order houses.-Cadiz
Record.
This might well apply to Clay
City. Several Of our merchants
complain about the inroads of the
mail order house into their trade,
but they do not seem to notice
that the mail order people be-
lieve in advertising, and they must
think that a newspaper can be
kept going on "hot air." These
same men, when they are inter.
ested in a political campaign, are
always the first to urge the editor
to rub it into the other party, and
if they have any free stuff to run,
thty don't forget the paper, but
when it comes to paying for an adj
vertisement, it is against their
principles.

pay you. II you don't believe il :
