DEADLOCK CONTINUES IN
F|GHT|AG IN FRANCE
FRENCH GUNS PREVENT IN
PANTRY ATTACKS OF THE
GERMANS.

Londan, March 21.--In their at
tempts to flank Verdun on the
West, the Germans, having succeed
cd in working their way through the
Malancourt Wool and the Avacourt
Wood, have begun a heavy bhm
bardment of the village of Es ,cs,
about eight miles northwest of Yer
dun, and hill 304, which lies about
a mile and half north of Esnes.
The French, however, are vigor-
ously contesting a further advance
eastward, which not alone would
bring the German line nearer the
fortress, but spreading fan-like
northeastward, would put in ieopar-
dy the French in the region of LIE
Mort Homme.
So great has been the counter of
fensive Of the French guns that, af-
ter debouching from the woods, The
Germans were unable to launch an
infantry attack and presumably are
being held hard to their newly gaia
ed positions.
To the north and east of Verdun
the cannonading has only been in.
termittent. In the Argonne forest
in Lorraine and in upper Alsace the
French guns have been active
against German positions and
marching columns.

Mr.. ID. S. McClanahan
Although Mr.. Clardy has been a

years this is the first time he has

the people as a candidate for coun-
Gilman.

grocery business, being the proprie-
tor Of a large suburban store in the
northwestern portion of the city.
He is largely self-made man. hav-
ing started out on small capital and

play the same sagacity that has en-
abled him to achieve success in pri
Ivate life.

PEOPLE WILL ASSEMBLE
TO HEAR BETTER HIGH.
WAYS BOOSTED.
TO VOTE ON BOND
ISSUE MARCH 30
Outcome Of Election is Impor-
tant and Great Interest il
Being Manifested Therein.

On next Thursday, March 30, the
qualified voters of the First super
visor's district are to decide at the
rolls whether or not they will issue
binds in the sum of $40 900 to i'm.
plove their highways, and a public
Teeting is to be held at Caledonia
at 2 o'clock tomorrow, Friday, af-
ternoon for the purpose of arousing
interest on the part Of citizens 1i
the district and urcin; them to vote
for the proposed bond issue.
The impending election is of far
more than local Importance, as the
only portion of the Mississippi route
for the proposed Jackson Memorial
Highway lying within the borders of
Lowndes county which is not COM
plete is short stretch of roadway
in the First district, and if the bonds
are voted this road will at once be
improved, and the route of the high
way which is to perpetuate the men,
ory of "Old Hickory" will, so far as
Lowndes county is concerned, be
complete.
There is some diversity of opinion
in the First district regarding road
improvement, and it is said that
quite number Of the best men in
the section oppose the proposed bond
Issue. This opposition is due to econ
omic views which they hold on the
subject. 1t being, in their opinion,
anwiae 10 make any expenditure of
public money that is not absolutely
necesssry. those who nave siuueu
the problem, however, are fully con-
vinced that the proposed expenditure
would be wise and judicious as the
improvement of public highways al
ways enhances the value of lands ad-
jacent thereto, and the increase in
land values in this instance will more
than offset the increase In taxes re-
sulting from the bond issue.
Several orators of we'll known for
ensic ability will deliver addresses,
and it is expected that large crowd
will attend the meeting.
