General Haig Reports RepuIse
Of Several Strong Ger
man Counter Attacks

Paris, Oct "a. - Importance of a
French stroke on the Aisne front grew
today. General Petain's brilliant coup
was hailed as one of the greatest vic
tories achieved by French forces since
Verdun.
The suddenness Of the assault, it's
tremendous driving power and the ir-
resistible elan of the French forces
completely swept the Germans off
their feet. The powerful Malmaison,
depended upon by the enemy effectu-
ally to bar all progress down the plains
OF Laon was taken. Chavignon--tw0
miles from the point where the french
started their drive-was wrenehed
from the enemy's hands Along four
miles of the front on which the attack
was made the Poilus achieved an ad-
vance averaging considerably moro
than mile, taking 5000 prisoners.
such an important gain at this par
ticular points suggests the most dan
gerous menace toward the German-heId
city Of Laon. The ground from Nal
slightly rolling down hill and the great
french city is not more than six milcs
distant.
Laon Is the base point OF the so-eaII-
ed Siegffied line, part Of the general
line of the Hindenburg front. The
wedge driven into the German posi-
tions by the victory of the French yes.
terday is exactly at the apex Of tho
present German battle line. It is where
it turns sharply from the general east
to west line of the Chemin- des-Dames,
northward to Coucy, La Fere, st. Qnen-
tin, Peronne, etc The French advance,
therefore, leaves the German flanks to
this northern line in serious danger.

A combination of circumstances is
causing the South to forge rapidly
ahead in stock raising. The first
number of the combination to call at
tention to the possibilities of live
stock growing in the South was the
splendid live stock exhibits at some
of the Southern fairs, in which the
Memphis Fair was the real pioneer.
These exhibits served to interest the
public generally in good live stock,
then the boil weeyil, the second num-
ber of the combination, began to
wend its way eastward across the
Southern United States, leaving de-
vastation in its wake, and il became
necessary, for the time being at least
to quit cotton farming and look to
other means for employing the land
Live stock growing was profitable
in the West and North. Why not in
the South? All of the forces at work
attempting to solve the boil weevil
problem began to advocate livestock
growing. The time was particularly
opportune to make venture of this
kind successful. The demand forflive
stock for home and foreign consump-
tion was exceeding the supply, the
open cattle ranges of the West were
rapidly ceasing to exist, prices were
steadily on the increase. Then the
European war broke, sending prices
soaring, and the end is not yet So
those in the South who started right in
live stock growing industry are today
reaping rich harvest. No one

Attend the Fair

Our McNairy County Fair is
Oct. 9,12. Are you getting up
anything to add to the show!
If not begin to lopk around now
and see what you have that you
think is good. You cannot tell
whether you will get premium
or not, That is not the prime
motive Of local exhibits. You
would like to see if your neigh
Dor has a better COW, sheep, hog,
or chickens than you have. If
he has perhaps you should sell
yours and buy the superior.
Have you some magnificent ears
Of corn? Everyone can gather
from the field specimens of corn
that will surprise themselves.
We expect to,see such an exhibit
Of corn that each will be proud
of bis own. Not only corn, but
exhibits of scores of other things
raised on the farm.
Be sure to save a fine stalk of
cotton of varieties which are be-
ing tested.
The ladies will have exhibits
of fruits and canned goods ga
lore.
The fair is three weeks off.
You have ample time TO get up
your exhibits, and arrange your
home duties so you can bring the
whole family one or more days.
There are a number of fair
friends and acquaintances you
have not seen since last fair. AS
an annual social gathering, the
fair fills a place in our social
fabric which no other event does.

emphasized by all that each and every
activity of life should be carried on
with renewed earnestness and eff.

and the preservation of health and

were as important as battleships.
The visitors all stroled over the

were most interested. The livestock
received close attention. They have

signed, were present. Much impor-

restive, entered into most of the ad-
dresses. Songs, a band, and devo-

occasion. The ladies' activities, the

partments of the Executive building.
Addresses and demonstrations were
practical and instructive to the mem,

The leading theme of all branches
of the Institute was that of increas-

meet the demands of our army and
that of our allies. The position as
sumed was that the farmer and food

BATTLE WITH SUBMARINE

Two Merchantmen Sunk Before
British Destroyers Arrive.
Buenos Aires, Feb. 24.-Reports
Of naval encounter off Tarragona,
Spain, on Sunday between armed
merchant vessels and German SUBJ
marines have been fully confirmed,
according to a dispatch to the Prensa
from Barcelona, filed on Tuesday and
received today
The engagement began at s O'Clock
in the morning less than eight miles
from the coast between six OF seven
submarines and nine armed mer-
chantmen. The fight was SO near
Tarrangona that the residents there
observed the battle from the house
tops by means of binoculars.
When the submarines first began
firing the merchant vessels attempted
to approach the land, but were cut
off by an encircling movement by the
Germans. The commanders of the
merchant ships then began firing
with their light guns. At least 600
shots were fired by both sizes.
The Swedish steamship Skogland
was the first vessel sunk by the sub
marines, which then sank the Giusep-
pc. The submarines then conferred
their attack upon the British steam
ship Janeta.
The latter vessel probably would
have been worsted but for the APP
pearance of five or six British de-
stroyers. The submarines fired about
twenty shots at the destroyers be-
fore they submerged in the midst OF
a fusillade from the latter's rapid
fire guns. One submarine was SAID
to have been sunk. All the merchant
ships, in addition to the sunk were
more or less damaged.
The Swedish steamship Skogland,
the sinking of which was reported in
Fridays Post, had five Americans In
her crew, which, according to dis
patches received in Washington, had
only 10 minutes in which to take TO
the boats. The Skogland steamed
from Norfolk, Va, on January &c, Tor
Bagnoli, Italy.
