Wednesday morning. Some two
weeks ago Mrs. BARLEY went to Lou
isville for visit and few days be-
fore the end came she was taken i'll
and was removed to the above hospi-
tai. II was found that she had double
pneumonia, and although her physi-
clans did all in their power they
could not slacken the fearful grip
the disease had on her system. Her
father and brother were wired to
come to her bedside and her brother,
Mr.. Ewalt Givens, went at once,
leaving here Monday night. A very
close friend, Mrs. f. T. Pence, Jr.,
was also telegraphed for and she al
so went to be with her friend of

had already become unconscious and

/ their respects to the excellent wom-
an who had been cut down so early
in life and when she had so much to
/ live for. The words of Dr. Brazelton
and prayer Of DR.. Bruce were most
/ appropriate and must have brought
comfort to the aching hearts of the
/ father. brother and others who loved
Mrs. BARLEY so well. May they all
soon be brought TO realization that
! their loss is her eternal gain. Flow
ers brought by loving friends attest
/ ed to some extent Mrs. Bartlev's pop
ularity, and they almost filed a sim
gle room of the Beazley home. Mrs.
BARLEY was the only daughter of
Mr.. George c. Owens, who resides
out on the Rush Branch pike. Her
mother, who was Miss Neppie Moore,
of Bourbon county, died a number

NEXT OBJECTIVE.
Continued from page one,

The assault, which started on a
front of five or six miles, between Le
Cateau and Solesmes, resulted in an 9d-
vance Of mile, according to early re-
ports, and was still progressing well.
An advance Of three miles will carry
the Anglo Americans into the Normal
forest, which is the western defense of
Maubeuge. The forest is about five
miles across. Seventeen miles to the
northeast is Maabeuge.
Just north of this new attack, Brit
ish troops are unofficially reported to
have penetrated well into Valencienncs
which lies IS miles northwest of Mau-
beuge. This is the last sizeable city in
northern France to remain in German
hands. At the extreme right of the
long battle line, the Americans won an
important victory today by recapturing
Brieulles, IA miles northwest Of Verdun
On the Meuse. By holding this village
the Germans have held up the AmericiIi
advance on a wide front astride this
river. The next village of consequence
is Dun, three miles north, which is only
eight miles from the Steney gap,
through which the Germans must pass
in retreating through Luxembourg.
The Americans are thus only ii miles
from point which, in their possession
would permit them to cut off the ne
