GOVERNMENT NEW
PROVING GROUNDS
Much Has Been Accomplished on
the 35,000-acre Tract
at Aberdeen.

Much has been accomplished in the
shape of preparation at the government s
new proving ground at Aberdeen, Md.
Trench mortar proIcctiles have a most
effective fashion of cleaning up wher-
ever they land The explosion is loud and
satisfying, and the ground where they
land will not need blowing for several
seasons No special emplacements are
required for the smaller mortars. They
are light and easily carried, and are play
ing part of tremendous Importance on
almost every battlefront.
Several weeks ago while Secretary of
War Baker and other prominent Federal
officials were watching trench mortar
tests there was an accident that cost the
lives of two men and badly injured several
others Today the same kind of accident
is practically impossible. The accident
taught the lesson and changes have been
made In the ordnance that viii prevent a
repetition. The loss of those two lives
Will result in the saving of hundreds OF
others. The men who died met the great
adventure striving to place every pos
sihlc safeguard around their comrades in
the service.
That is the spirit of the proving grounds
Our ordnance must he 100 per cent right
and men at the post near Aberdeen are
making Il so. The work holds perhaps as
much danger as service overseas. Ii rs
thrilling at times. interesting always and
one Of the most important OF the army's
many departments.
An excellent idea Of the scope of the
work at the proving grounds IS obtained
from a comparison of the daily work
there and the work before the entry OF
this country INTO the war at the proving
grounds at Sandy Hook. During the
wear 1916 there were approximately
1000 rounds fired for the testing of
ordnance material at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds Recently at the Aher
deem proving grounds, >. 100 rounds were
fired in one day.
The tests ut thus time are divided into
two classes. mobile artillery gums from

artillery, there arc tests not only OF pilot
and experimental mounts, but also of

FREE SCHOOL FOR
WHITE MEN AND BOYS
First Session Of Night School
Will Be Held Friday
Evening.

The night school will hold it's first
session Friday, March 8, 1918, at 80
p. M, In the Sunday School rooms Of
the Presbyterian church.
This is free school for white men
and boys who have not had the ad-
vantages of the public schools. The
school seeks to supply long-felt
need. There are many, right in our
midst, who are fighting more or less,
losing battle in the struggle to
make living; simply because they
lack the very rudiments of an edu-
cation. The object of the school is
to do all it can to help men help
themselves.
It is gratifying to see the interest
manifested by those who have ex.
pressed their intentions to attend the
school as we'll as those who have vol
unteered to teach.
1t is not church school, but rath
er a community school, and as
school, Of which, we trust the com
munity will be proud.

LAST MONDAY WAS ONE
BIG DAY N PARIS
First Monday Crowd Was Only
Exceeded By Renowned
Barnum & Bailey.

Last Monday, which was the first
Monday in March, was record
breaker, the immense crowd only be-
ing exceeded in numbers by the great
Barnum & Bailey circus.
From early morning until evening
the streets of the downtown district
were packed with sea of humanity,
mostly men. At times during the
day, it was next to impossible to drive
through the mass Of autos, buggies
and wagons.
Early in the morning all hitching
room was taken surrounding the court
house and the streets were filed with
|stock-men and stock for sale.
1t is said that many mules were
sold. Only the choice stock selling
readily, but bringing high prices. The
heavy mules were in demand, leaving
the smaller ones which are too light,
for farm purposes.
The M. T. Hearn Mule Company,
of Lebanon, Tenn, bought 26 mules
and the buyer stated that he "paid
a plenty for them" H. V. Somer-
vile, of this city, also bought a car
load for shipment.
The stores in general were well
patronized but mostly by the men,
The hardware stores and implement
houses and haberdasheries did q
splendid business while the dry-goods
and ready-to-wear stores did better
