At O'Clock an attack on Marcoing
was attempted by the enemy. but as
IN the former case they were caught
In a heavy artillery and machine gun
fire and turned back after suffering
severely.
An hour later another body OF Ger
mans advanced on Noyelles. which
was held by one company of British
troops. Here some OF the stiffest
fighting o, the battle took place at
close quarters. Both sides rushed up
rcinforcemcnts. and for two hours
the battle Surged back and forth
through the streets and among the
buildings. II was melee in which
tho bayonet played the principal
part. The Germans fought well. but
they were not good enough to with
stand the fury OF the British assault.
and gradually they were forced back
across the canal 90 the east.
Among the prisoners taken by the
British were several officers who
were caught in the regimentel head
quarters. The regimental commander
was captured and II is reported that
his advent into the British lines was
particularly humorous.
He came tramping back clad in an
elaborate fur coat. followed by two
servants. who carried more OF his fin

turn OF events The sight OF COM
pany OF British cavalry threw him
almost into frenzy. and the Ian
guaEe which he directed at the Brit
ish drew a smile from even the hard
ened Tommy, who has a somewhat
picturesque vocabulary OF his own.
Hard fighting has taken place TO-
day at Crevecoeur, southeast OF Mas
nieres. The British were holding a
high bridge in. front OF this place and
some troops had forced an entrance
into the western part OF the town.
The Germans were still holding the
eastern section. A German battery
here which had been giving trouble
was charged and captured by dis
mounting cavalrymen. The battery
was surrounded BY heavy barbed wire

horses. so the soldiers stormed the
position on foot and aninhilated the

Mr.. Meeker arrived in Corunna a

in the county for the coming season
to secure it from outside sources.

Kent--Huckins

A very pleasant event took place
on Wednesday afternoon Of last week
at the home of Mrs. Ida Kent, south
of the city, the occasion being the
marriage of her daughter, Miss Oleta,
, to Mr.. Roland Huckins, son of MI.
and Mrs. Osgood Huckins, of Lennon.
Promptly at two o'clock, to the
strains of the wedding march played
by Miss Stella Snyder, cousin of the
bride, the young couple took their
place under wedding bell suspended
from an arch, artistically decorated
with green and white.
The bride was becomingly gowned
in creation of white crepc-de-chene
with pearl trimmings, and wore a cor
sage boquet of roses. The groom
wore a suit Of dark blue.
Rev. Purdy, Of the First M. E.
church, performed the ceremony in
the presence of about sixty relatives
and friends of the contracting
parties.
After fluctuations, a two-course
luncheon was served by Miss Juanita
Schaar, niece, and the'Misses Ida and
Sadie Snyder, cousins Of the bride,
and Miss Tillie Strauch, close
friend.
The out of town guests were from
Lennon, Flint and Bancroft.
The gifts were numerous and beau.
tiful.
They left at six clock for a short
wedding trip to Detroit, after which
they will be at the farm home of the
bride s mother.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERT.
Don Meeker, of Olivet, Accepts Place
as County Farm Worker.

The committee representing the
board of supervisors and the newly
organized county farm buread, met in
the supervisors room of the court
house last Thursday afternoon, and
voted to employ Don Meeker, of Oil
vet, as agricultural expert for the
county. Mr.. Meeker, as agricultural
expert for the county. Mr.. Meeker
comes highly recommended as a man
of plenty of experience and training
in the work he is entering upon.
Mr.. Meeker is a native of Eaton
county, where he was reared on a
farm. After having a years work
in the engineering department of the
M. A. c. he was recalled to the farm
by the death of his father. The work
of managing the large farm left to
his care was successful and after a
number of years thus engaged he re-
turned to the M. A. C. where he took
up and completed the agricultural
course. He has had some experience
in the county agricultural work, hav-
ing assisted the agent in Berrien coun-
ty.
An effort will be made to enlist
large number of the farmers and
others interested in farming in the
work of the county farm bureau and
help make it effective in cooperating
with the county agent.

will be held Friday, December ID,

PEOPLE WANT INFORMATION

Congressman returning from home
for the opening of the session report
almost without exception, find that
their constituents are waking up to
the war, especially to those phases OF
it which involve the expenditure of the
billions so lavishly voted at the last
session. No one begrudges money
representatives say, provided dollar
expended produces dollars worth of
results. But there is grave suspicion
everywhere that we are hardly get
ting fifty-fifty split for our money
and that the wastage cannot all be
explained by the fact that we neglect
ed preparedness for this "just and
inevitable war" until after we had
actually gotten into it. Most con-
gressmen say that their constituents
particularly want to know how much
less it would have cost us to prepare

PASSING OF PIONEER REPUBLI.
CAN

William E. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, whose death has just oc.
Cured at the ripe age of eighty-two
was one of the founders of the Repub-
ican party. An early Free Soldier
he was active in the organization OF
the Fremont campaign in 1856; and
his State was among those which
gave their electoral votes to the Path
finder. The friend of Lincoln, Mr..
Chandler came to Washington in the
days of the Civil War and was an
assistant secretary of the treasury.
He became secretary Of the Republi-
can National Committee, and his ac-
tivities in the disputed Presidential
election of 1876 are matter of his
tory. He served in President Arthur's
Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy;
and under him were taken the first
steps in the building Of the new navy,
the "White Squadron" of his day hav-
ing now become the second largest
naval force afloat. For fourteen
years he represented New Hamp-
shire in the Senate; and on his retire
ment from that position he became
president of the commission which
settled the claims growing out of the
War with Spain. For sixty years he
was active in public affairs, having
outlived nearly all of his contempor-
aries of pioneer Republican days and
having maintained his interest in con-
structive political work to the end.
