HUNDREDS
sign PLEDGE
Ladies in Charge of Campaign Are
Meeting With Splendid Success
in Undertaking.

Several hundred housewives of
Montgomery county have signed
the food pledge as requested by the
Government and it is rare sight
not to see the pledge card in the
windows of the homes. Those in
charge of the work for the Govern
ment deserve great credit for their
untiring efforts to aid in this crisis.
1t is expected that from LOO to
1000 signers will be secured. The
greatest trouble seems to be that
the people do not understand what
is asked of them but when it is ex-
planned they readily sign the card.
Mrs. c. A. Lindsey is chairman and
says she has not noticed any evil
dence of prof. German feeling but
rather the lack of information on
the subject. If for any reason you
did not get a card secure one at the
Rest Room, sign it and in this man
ner help do your bit to help the
boys in the trenches who are giving
up their lives that we may live.

ARE KILLED
Germans KIN Three, Wound Five
and Capture Twelve in First Real
Fight We Have.

Washington has received mes
sages stating that the Germans
stormed the trenches occupied by
Americans on the battle front in
France and killed, captured and
wounded number of our men.
The War Department made this
known on receipt of a dispatch from
General Pershing showing that the
German forces soon after learning
the positions of the new enemy
from overseas, had launched a des-
perate effort to overcome them.
The Teutonic attack came in the
form of a heavy barrage fire which
isolated salient of the American
trench and apparently left small
force of Americans at the mercy OIL
their enemies.
That the American soldiers fought
gamely is shown by Pershing's re-
port of prisoner being taken by
them. How some of his troops es-
capped, bringing this German back
with them is not told in ethe brief
dispatch Of the American command
er. The United States troops were
taken in charge of veteran French
soldires to quiet portion of the
long line that runs from the North
Sea to Switzerland.
w. P. Grigsby, Louisville boy is
among those captured.

contains from 40 to so acres of to-
bacco land. The farm of Mr.. j. w.
Douglas, lying in Bourbon county
and containing SO acres, was also
bought by the above parties. This
farm is also said to be fine one.

SHOOTING In
GENERAL ROW
N WiIlOughhy NeighbOrhOOd. One
Seriously and Another Fatally
Shot.

At a general family row Sunday
afternoon in the Willoughby neigh
borhood, John Martin shot and SER
iously injured his brother, Marion
Martin. and is thought to have
wounded his brother-in-law, Lee
WiIloughby, fatally. The trouble is
said 70 have grown out Of bad feel
;;;se due to, the belief upon the purr
Of John, Martin that his erother,
Marion Martin had caused num-
Der Of men in that neighborfood, in
Gliding John Martin, to be indicted
at the recent term of the grano
jury for gaming, which accusation
Marion Martin stoutly denied. Mar
tin was shot in the thumb and hip,
while Willoughby was shot in the
bowels. Willoughby was rushed to
the Good Samaritan Hospital at
Lexington, where he now is and is
reported to have slight chance of
recovery.
A few hours after the shooting
John Martin surrendered and claims
the shooting of his brother was JUS

Possibly the quietest election held
in Montgomery County in many
years was held Tuesday. As will be
seen by the figures less than 1000
votes we're polled, by both parties,
which is a falling off of about one
thousand. This was due, no doubt,
to the fact that only a few candi-
dates had opposition and the gener-
al belief that Democrats would win.
Hon. Chas. III. Morris, for Attor-
ney General had no opposition, but
received a good vote, as did Hon.
Geo. Hon, for State Senator. Judge
T. L. Caudel of Menefee county car
ried both counties for Representa-
tive, winning by over six hundred.
Though not first on the ballot and
without opposition, Earl w. Semi,
for County Judge, received the lar
gest popular vote of any candidate
on the ballot
A vote was taken in the Aarone-
Run precint whether or not cattle
should be permitted to run at large
ON the public roads etc. and the peo-
pie voted by two to one majority
that they should not. The Constitu-
tional amendment received a very
light vote owing to the fact that few
people understood it. However it
carried by a vote Of All to 143.
w. r. Mckee for Mayor of the
City of Mt Sterling had no oppesi-
ton. Democratic councilmen were
elected in the first, second and fourth
wards without opposition as were
the Republicans in the Third ward.
T. B. Rodman had no opposition for
City Assessor. We are very glad
indeed to report that the election
passed off quietly and so far as we
were able to ascertain no whiskey
or money was used anywhere.

Louisville Republican

The entire Democratic ticket was
defeated in Louisville in a Repub-

BuRcHETT FARM SOLD

Major d. j. Burchett last week
sold his farm of 1O2 acres on the
Paris pike to Mr.. r. S. Greene at
the reported price Of $40, 800 which
makes the farm bring little less
than 5000 per acre. Mr.. Greene will
get possession March LIST, and Major
and Mrs. Burchett will move to this
city to reside.
