Along the Western front, there has
been little infantry activity. but the
artilleries continue to lombard i'm
portant points. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg apparently is convinced
that his armies cannot regain the
ground captured in the past six weeks
by the French and British and the
Germans for the present are resting
on their arms waiting for the next
stroke by the Entente troops.
North of Gorilla, the Italians have
captured the heights of Hill 652, the
key to the Vodice position, in a long
and severe action in which the at
lacking troops were compelled to ad-
vance from rock to rock. Despite
desperate resistance the AuStrianS
were driven from the stronghold with
the loss of nearly 400 prisoners.
Russia, unaggressive in the field for
several months because of internal
diSSensionS is making ready under the
leadership of the new coalition Gov
eminent to resume an energetic cam

poets are bright.
Prof. Abner, who Is teacher of ex-
perience and constant worker, will
not be at the head of the school the
coming year, he having rendered his
resignation some weeks ago. He will
be succeeded by Prof. R. r. Moss, who
has been co-principal of the Lindsey
Wilson since the latter school was sS-
tablished, fourteen years ago. There
is nothing IN the way Of a Graded
School prospecting, as it is supported
by taxation by the people living in the
district, and in this way many poor
children secure an education.
Columbia is proud of its two insti-
buttons of learning.
Prof. Moss, who will go to this
school, needs no introduction, as he
is known as competent teacher by
the-entire county.

Splendid Recital.

The music and expression recital by
pupils of Miss Alice Walker and Mrs.
Ray Montgomery, at the Graded
School Gym, last Wednesday evening,
was witnessed by large and appre-
ciative audience. So well did each one
of the pupils perform, the teachers
could not help but feel that their
efforts in instructing had not been in
vain. Certainly the audience was de-
lighted in seeing and hearing such
gifted pupils. Miss Walker is q
skilled pianist, and rapidly imparts
her knowledge, while as an expression
teacher, Mrs. Montgomery is one
among the best.
