London, Nov. 22-That more pro
gress has been made toward cambrai
in the great British drive was report
ed by Field Marshal Haig today.
The capture of F'ontaine aud Notre-
dame villages and many prisoners
was announced in the smashing OF
the Hindenburg line The British
are using tanks, infantry and caval-
ry and are steadily closing around
Cambria
Two attempted counter attacks
we're smashed by the British infant
ry, one in tunnel trench near
Bullecourt, the other at Havrincourt
park, where one ompany Of Germans
essayed an advance. The tanks this
afternoon, followed by infantry were
continuing their journey into enemy
territory.
Prisoners admit ruefully chat the
attack was a surprise to them and
caught many OF them in their dug
outs. The secrecy with which the
British made their preparations was
one Of the most striking features Of
the offensive. Guns. tanks and
troops were moved into the Cambrai
sector at night and carefully hidden
during the day
Nearly score Of guns are report
ed to have been captured The Brit
ish are pushing toward canating
three miles southwest Of Cambria.
Northwest Of Marcoing the high
ground known as Premy Chappelle,
has been fought over and the Ger
mans have been forced to withdraw.
Up to the actual hour Of the Brit
ish attack, there ,ere moments when
great stiffness reigned over the bat
tie front, and it seemed impossible
that within short time the line
would be a seething caldron.

NEW SEATS
FOR DIST.
COURT ROOM

And finally it came to pass. New
seats are being placed in the district
court room. The old pench seats
that have been IN the Grady county
court house since the building was
completed have been removed and
in their stead will be placed opera
seats to accommodate the curious that
come to hear scandal barred under le-
gal rulings, in the future
For the past twenty years those
who have come to hear men display
their forensic and legal ability have
rested their tired forms on the old
bench seats II dumb wooden seats
could BY some miracle be made to
Tell of the affairs that have been
.tiied before them, strange and varied
would be their stories. The old
bench seats in the Grady county
could relate the tragic and comic
sides OF many a legal battle. The
trial Of such notorious characters as
al Jennings could be related with
more reality than it has ever been
displayed upon the celluloid string.
But these are all going to pass and
give way to the new order and the
frazier being Of today will be able to
sit in the lap Of luxury as they listen
to the monotony OF court procedure
