Back in the early part of 1898
when there was trouble between
the United States and Spain and
a demand for volunteers for mil.
itary service, the call was heard
by number of Young men at
Chesterfield. No enI1sting Off
Ger was handy SO they agreed to
wire the governor and find out
whether or not their services
would be acceptable. D. P.
Douglass, who is now sheriff,
wired the governor, and back
came the message, Come on,
and bring all you can get"
The prompt reply and the
wording indicated that there was
fighting to be done. There were
eight or ten of the boys, incIud.
ing w. ]. Tiller, and they
agreed to meet at the court house
at o'clock and ride in a bus to

The Marshville Home reprint
ed an article from this paper last
week about the change of man
agement of The Home. In the
article was a reference to the
days when this writer read "Our
Home" while resting IN the
shade on hot summer DAYS. and
when the article was reprinted
the following was printed below
in parenthesis:
I'VE don't think Carl meant
to convey the impression that he
didn't sit in the shade at any
time except at noon."
Well, we'll acknowledge that
there might have been just a
few times when we felt IT neces-
sary to crawl into a friendly
shade. But we have no recol.
lection of having fallen asleep
While on duty.
In connection with this we
would like TO enquire of Friend
Green whether or not he fell
asleep and tumbled out of his
chair during school hours one
day when he was teaching at
Union school back in the olden
days, as has been reported from
time to time. -----

German Soldiers Forced to Keep in Trenches for Three Days
 Without Food.
NO WATER, NO MUNITI0N
Germans Beaten Back by Deadly Artillery Fire but Reached Wire
 Entang|ements.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. '. (By Associated Press )-Hollebeke the Belgian town south of Ypres, was the scene of heavy fighting early yesterday morning and was again the object for German counter attack last night The Germans were re- pulsed by the British artillery fire before they even reached the wire entanglements in front of the trenches After the failure of the morning assault on Hollebe and the post just north of the canal, the Teutons continued to lombard po- sitions heavily throughout the day when the German infantry finally left the trenches and moved for ward. The forces were met with an intense artillery fire and with ering storm of bullets from machine guns and rifles. They continued ad- vancing but finally broke and re treated hastily before reaching the wire defenses.
 The German partial success of the mornings attack was when they gained a footing near Hollebeke due entirely to the heavy fog, preventing the British gunners seeing the sig nals from the front lines, indi- eating the German advance. With out the artillery assistance the Brit ish receded slightly but immediate ly delivered counter attack and drove the Germans back, caused con siderable losses and captured a num- Der of men.
 Evidences of the strength of the British bombardment before Fland- CTS battle continue to multiply. The Germans prisoners taken in the St. Julian sector say the deadly effec- tive fire prevented food, water and munitions reaching the front line. During the three days preceding the battle, the British barrage, be- fore the infantry advance, prevent ed the Germans manning the for ward trenches, and compelled them to remain in the dugouts.
