ANTHONY

Anthony, Dec. 13-The shower
Monday night was refreshing to the
young lettuce plants.
Christmas will soon be cn US. We
are already beginning to sc the effects
of the Christmas spirit. Two young
men who are not living more than SO
miles from here came in town not
long ago, as tight as Dicks hatband,
and not on buttermilk, either, and
acted very much like they had been
where there was plenty of booze. But
we will not tell what happened if they
will just promise not to do so again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Neff and baby
spent a few days here visiting old
friends and relatives. They were
from Jacksonville.
Mrs. A. P. Baslzin has been very
sick but we are glad to know she is
convalescing and will soon be able to
he among US again.
Conference is over and the appoint
ments and disappointments have been
read. Rev. C. A. Saunders, who was
appointed to this place will be here to
FIJI the pulpit next Sunday and every
body is invited to come and hear the
new preacher. But don't come with
spirit of criticism. Let us examine
and see first If there isn't need of i'm
provement in our selves and get the
beam out of our own eye and then it
may be we can see more clearly. Then
we will be more anxious to know how
we will suit him and not so much
about being satisfied with the preach
Ell, as we are all human and cannot
expect to see perfection in any one.
The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Louis Lang was a dreadful shock to
this community. Miss Sue, as she was
called, lived among US, was married
here and had taught school several
terms here. She was loved by all who
knew her and was faithful member
OF the Methodist church. She was an
attractive, pleasant young lady. The
Lord works in mysterious way. We
cannot understand why a mother
should be taken from a little family,
when she was so capable of bringing
them up in the right way. The par
ents and family certainly have the
sympathy of their many friends. We
all have these heartaches and have
gone through the some sore trials, SC
can weep with those that weep.

.BREAEING THRU THIS POSITION MAJ

Berlin announced today the capture
by German troops of the town of
Buzeu just south of the Buzeu river,
where the o-Rumanian forces
have been expected to make a stand.
Possible serious consequences both
for Russia and Rumania are seen. If
the capture of the town breaks the
Buzeu defensive line,. the whole Rus
so-Rumanian line along the western
Moldavian border seemed endangered.
1t has been stated the Russians must
hold this line if they expected to pre-
serve their front in the Southern Car
pathiahs, and even in Galicia. 1t has
also been indicated that the falling
back of the Russian front beyond the
mouth of the Danube would open
Ressarabia to invasion.
Buzeu is near the center Of a line
between the Moldavian frontier and
the mountains and the Danube at the
junction of the railroad from Ploechti
to Ibraila and Galata.
Berlin reported French attacks on
hill No. 304, on the Verdun front, the
Pepper ridge and east of Fort Haud-
remont failed.
