London, Nov. AFTER week or
more Of doubt concerning operations
in the Dobrudja region of Rumania,
where the Teutonic allies had been
marching almost unimpeded north
ward from the Black sea to the Dam
ube, comes the report that the Ru-
manians have taken the offensive,
probably aided by Russians and COM
PEELED the enemy to retreat at sew
eral points.
On the Pennsylvania front, how
ever, the Rumanians in the jul val
ley, who for some time had been
holding the upper hand over the
Austro- Germans, forcing them to
give ground, have now been stopped,
the Teutons having brought up rein
forcements. In the Predeal pass re-
gion, after heavy fighting, the Ru-
manians also have met with re-
verse, being compelled to retreat af-
ter long and stubborn battles.
All along the battle line in France
between the Somme and Ancre riv-
ers the Germans are tenaciously dis
putting attempts by the British and
French to gain further ground. Ber-
lin says that in Sundays fighting ov-
er front of twelve miles the French
and British suffered heavy casual
ties and won nothing except local
gain in the st. Pierre-Vaast wood.
London admits that the British were
compelled to give back to the Ger
mans ground the British had prev
iously won at the Butte de Warlen-
court.
Bombardments and small infantry
attacks continue to feature the fight
ing in the Macedonia theater.

Uncle Press Halbert was in town
Monday wearing even a broader.smile
than usually adorns his face. He had
just sold thirty-four head of cattle for
the biggest price he ever received for
stock. When you consider that Uncle
Press has been a resident of the Coun-
ty for some seventy years and that
his profession has been that of farm
ing and stock raising, it is quite an
item to be able to state at this time
when the Federal government is in
the hands of the low-tarif Democrats,
that he marketed cattle at a figure
greater than ever received before.
But such is the case, and NO man who
knows him will doubt his word

Campaign is now under way. Through
the week they have been speaking to
large audiences at the Tabernacle To-
Gated on South Mill Street. The larg-
est crowds probably that ever at
tended religious meetings are attend
ing this meeting. The rain last week
caused them a little delay in getting
the tabernacle erected. The first
meeting was held in the tabernacle on
Saturday night. This Tabernacle
comfortably seats 1000 people and
has ten stoves going to keep the
building warm. A chorus of over one
hundred voices, led by Evangelist
Hobbs, assisted by Rev. Bambou adds
greatly to the interest of the services.

The Miners Supply Company Store
at Flat River, under the management
of A. @. Crew, was this week closed
by st. Louis creditors. The firm had
been in financial straits for some time
and reports were current last week
that the store had been closed, but it
was not closed>until Wednesday even
ing of this week. Frank B. Nolle, of
st. Louis, has been named receiver.
There seems to be different opinions
as to the real liabilities of the firm; at
least there are two reports by parties
financially interested. One is that
$4,000 will cover the liabilities and the
other is that the liabilities and assets
of the firm are about equal. The stock
at the store, we understand, recently
invoiced about $13, O00.-Farmington

Keep the Kidneys Well.
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some IrOnton People KnowhOw
to Save it.

Many Ironton people take their
lives in their hands by ~neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is an Iron
ton citizens recommendation.
Robert Hotson, Ironton, says: ~
suffered from kidney trouble in a bad
form. When the kidney secretions
were passing, they panied me terribly
and | had pains in my sides, hips and
over my kidneys. Ialso had rheumatic
pains. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me of the aches and palms."
