VALUABLE FARM
In Ohio Purchased by Mr.. L. 7. An
dersOn Saturday-StOck and I'm
plements Also Bought.

On Friday MIR. L. T. Anderson, deal
err in high-class horses, closed a deal
through Thomas L. Evan & Co, real
estate agents, for the 800 acre farm
of the late DR.. Guthrie, located near
Manchester, Ohio. In the deal Mr..
Anderson gets the entire herd of about
80 registered Poled Angus cattle, all
the farming implements, machinery
work stock, and growing crops that
are on the farm. This is one of the
best tobacco and stock farms in that
section of the country, as there are
four large barns and two or three
houses on the farm, also an abundance
of bluegrass and alfalfa on the place
MIR. Anderson has not decided yet
whether he will continue this herd of
fine cattle on his farm or whether he
will later offer them for sale. Tho
chances are however that Mr.. Ander-
son will continue the herd as he has
for some time been of the opinion that
the breeding of thoroughbred cattle in
this locality would pay and with this
high-class heard to start with we
would not be surprised to see him en-
gagged in the breeding of this strain
of cattle on large scale as he is the
owner of two large farms here in
Kentucky. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Anderson will engage in the breeding
of fine cattle as it would mean much
to the cattle industry of this section
as his success in the handling of high
class horses has been so pronounced
that should he engage in the cattle
business he would doubtless do much
to bring up the standard of the breed
ing of cattle in this immediate sec
tion.

The operators and employees Of the
Central Telephone and Telegraph Co.
experienced delightful time while in
this city and all we're made to feel
that they we're entirely welcome and
that they had in their possession the
keys of the city. About 65 out of
town visitors were present for the oc-
caslon.
The afternoon was visitors day at
the local exchange and hundreds
thronged the Offices of the company.
The Offices were decorated and all
were thrown open. To each Of the
ladies attending a beautiful rose was
given. Employees of the company we're
present to explain the workings of the
new system that has been installed
here. The system, simple in its com
plexity, is one of the best in the en-
tire United States. Those who watch
ed the operators, busy at their switch
board could not but feel impressed at
the way the calls were answered. The
visitors all saw that the time worn
chestnuts about the slowness of the
telephone opertors have about served
their time, for, not only were the
calls answered promptly, but the con-
nection with the party wanted was
given almost instantly. The formal
opening of the new exchange was also
held in the afternoon.
At 1880 o'clock in the evening a
sumptuous banquet was served to the
operators at the Central Hotel. Col
onel Daugherty furnished a menu
that a king would not dispise City
Attorney j. NJ. Calhoun made the well
coming address to the operators in
the absence of Mayor Lee. Mr.. w. M.
Paine of Louisville gave the response.
Following the banquet the company
adjourned to the Knights of st. John
Hall where a number of papers on
the various phases Of exchange WORK
were read. Following the reading Of
the papers dancing was INDUCED in to
a late hour by the younger operators.
The music for the banquet and dance
was furnished by a Victrola from the
Murphy jewellery Store and was great
ly enjoyed by all.
The following were the out OF town

GERMANY'S BAD GUESS
Baltimore American)


It has been remarked that no 9TH
er move in the war has been so thor
oughly ventilated as the new often
sive of the British. That this abun-
dant publicity was designed to de-
ceive does not appear to have en-
tered the minds Of the German Cen
eral Staff; hence, this governing
military body of the Kaiser made a
bad and fatal guess. If the Germans
had ample reserves they might not
have suffered severely from the first
miss as to where the offensive would
be carried on. But not having ample
reserves it was impossible quickly
to repair their mistake of judgment.
From copy of German orders
that the British found upon the field
it is clear that the German strate-
gists had figured upon the advance
being attempted between Roye and
Lille, Hence they masscd here great
batteries and reinforcement to meet
the offensive of th- foe with their
full forces, adequately disposed and
the best of its soldiers trained to a
trigger. The offensive made at the
point of conjunction with the French
was a surprise. And the British arc
still mystifying their foe by power
full diversions from the real center
none of which would be especially
disconcerting to the forces of the
Kaiser. if these were in ample num-
hers to meet the offensive where
over it might brak out. Hence the
first bad guess has quecred the whole
~amc for the Teutons.

THE AWFUL


Occasionally some one repeats the
story of Bismarck when he realized
that his earthly career was drawing
to a close. At that time, when vi
sion of his past life was passing be-
fore him, he exclaimed: ~ have
caused the death of eighty thousand
men. But God has forgiven me.
Job, when signing over the fact
that he had ever been born, cast his
eye into the unseen world and eX-
claimed: "For now I should have lain
still and been quiet with kings and
counselors of the earth, which built
desolate places for themselves"
The Chaldcan patriarch is supposed
to have referred to kings and con-
oucrers who devastate the earth in
order to crafty their aspirations and
sreed. Continuing JOB sald:' There
the prisoners rest together; they hear
not the voice of the opprcssor. The
small and great are there and the
servant is fire. from his master"
Death is trulE q great leveler.

ton:

THE REPLY
OF ChRRANZA.

1t is suggested that Secretary
Lansing would do well to hold to his
position as stated some time ago to
the Bolivian representative minister;
that the United States has nothing
to mediate in its relations with Mex
co, The Carranza note clearly states
the problem, and this should be cap
able of solution without informed
iaries and the sustaining of obIlga-
tons that might prove to be unfor-
tunatc. The note sets forth the glst
of the problem to be the presence
of American troops upon Mexican
soil, as both an infringement OF
Mexican sovereignty and as the
cause of the conflict. The statement
is neither accurate nor complete.
Conflicts were occurring prior to
the dispatch of the punitive expcdi-
ton, and the Carranza government
had shown neither power nor dis
position to abatc them. The presence
of the American troops in Mexico
NAV no longer he desirable, but their
presence was imperative, and they
went there with explicit agreement
of the Carranza government, despite
efforts to hedge in this later one.
Now that the United States has
masscd its total forces upon the boz
der. Carranza says he can sec to the
avoidance of further aggravatlng IN
cidents. Thus ignoring the money
outlay and use of men by the United
States, which alone can prevent the
recurrence of the disorders. Carran-
"a proceeds to take credit to himself
in advance and without the simplest
recognition of the services of the
United States in his behalf. The
note is conciliatory, but far from
satisfactory. Yet, as the United
States is now in command of the sit,
uation, it doubtless, by direct nego
tiations, can arrive at some under
standing by which Carranza will b
less arrogant and permit the unltet
States to complete its work. Under
no circumstances should this coun
try agree to any future limitations
upon its freedom of action.

are beng Whirled south the war
cloud which had hung. ominously for
some time, is disappearing, and the
Virginians after having reached
their objective point, may pass most
of their time in camp as in Rich
mond with nothing more serious
than the high temperature of shat
cline to combat.
Alexandria has hcr quota in this
little army, and their relatives and
friends will wait patiently to hear
from them after they shall have
reached Brownsville. But few days
have elapsed since they parted from
their dear ones, when the residents
of the city turned out in masse to
bid the members of the Light In
fantry goodbye.
Every city, town and village in
Virginia is interested. Recruits have
nobly responded in every section,
and they carry with them the earn
est prayers of the entire Old Dom
inion. Actual war with Mexico, sew
enty years ago, was of short dura-
ton, and most of the Alexandra
BOYS returned unscathcd. The skies
are much brighter now than then.
Let us hope the trip will prove more
of an outing than anything else, and
before autumn winds moan the young
soldiers will have returned to their
homes and dear ones.
