An official communication relative
to the bnmhardmenr is published in
the newspapers of that city. according
TO q Berlin despatch. 1t follows:
"The enemy for several days has
been h0mbarding Metz with long
range gun. Such bombardment has
been always possible throughout the
war and has long been expected. Mod
ern guns have longer range than
for example. from south of Pont-a-
Mousson TO Metz. The present bonn
bardment. therefore is in no wise
connected with the fact the enemy
after our evacuation of st. Mihiel,
drew nearer to the town.
''It is only a concomitant phenome-
non of the present battles west and
southwest of Metz and will cease when
these battles come to a StandStill.
Regulations regarding entry and de-
parture from the fortress zone are un-

London. Sept. 21.-The battle for
st. Quentin is about to enter into its
final phase.
To the east of Holnon village, the
British are now but little more than
two miles northwest Of st. Quentin.
but their main efforts are now direct
ed toward swinging their entire line
to a level with the HolnOn position
and, by capturing lie Catelet, the
link between Cambrai and st. Quen-
tin. outfianking st. Quentin.
In this endeavor the third and
fourth armies made new important
headway in the first twelve hours.
The British line is less than mile
from Bellenglise, which lies four
miles northwest of ST Quentin.
Substantial progress has been made
toward LIE Catelet The strongly for
titled Malassise farm has been cap
tured. Between Lempire and Epehy.
southwest of lie Catelet, the British
also pushed their lines forward.
Scottish troops finally overcame the
resistance Of the Germans still TN the
village of Meeuvres. west of Cambria
where there has been much violent
fighting recently. and completely cap
tured the village. according 70 Field
Marshal Haig's communication.
German casualties in the battle
have been most heavy, owing TO the
close character of the fighting and
the sturdy resistance or the Teutons.
The principal centers of the fight
ing were around Epehy, where an Al
pine corps continued stout resist
ance. and between GOuZeaucOurt and
Fillers-Guislain. where the sixth Bra
denburg division was raked TO ShredS
by machine gun barrage.
The villages of Holnon and Lem
pire have been entirely cleared of
small pockets of Germans. North of
St. Helene the Australians pushed on.
The Germans were not disposed to
come TO grips. and only six were made
prisoners.

tween Gouzeaucourt and tk&Ansssse,
prisoners have been takens from at
least two further divisions of the re-

Withdrawn from Gouzeaucourt only Il
week ago, after losing 1000 in prison
ers. The other was withdrawn from
Nesle on September 8 after losing 800.
Neither of these units has been re-
fitted or rested

their position was virtually hopeless.
The chief importance Of the success

Save The 2% Discount
On County Taxes
During September.

The per cent. discount period having
expired on the 1st instant, this Office desires
to express to county taxpayers, and the pub
lie generally, its appreciation of the splen-
did spirit of cooperation, as evidenced by
the payment during the month of August, of
nearly one-haf of the entire Levy for 1918,
both State and county.
The total collections for the month are
S12s,2 2s5, and the record should be most
gratifying TO all interested tn the welfare of
the county.
To those taxpayers who were unable to
take advantage of the August discount, we
call attention to the per cent. discount on
county taxes allowable during September.

four weeks are left to grow to

band aud children Mrs Blakey
leaves five brothers to mourn her
death. They are Wm. Gum Of
Rozel, Albert M Gum of Plains,
X. L, Gum of Larned. l.. II. Gum
of Meade, and Max Gum Of

her bed side at the time of her
death and did all within their
power to alleviate the sufferiugs
that fell TO her sad lot
Mrs. Blakey was a mem ber Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, from her young girlhood
to the time OF her death. No
more beautiful tribute can be
paid her than the one given by
her devoted husband, 'Sbe was
a true Christian, loving faithful
wife and most devoted mother" "
After these words no other
eulogies need be written. They
tell more than pages could, of a
life well spent.
A large circle of friends in her
former homes and those here,
who have been very attentive to
her during her last illness, share
the grief OF the bereaved family.
The death of such a woman is a
great Gala nifty and our minds
cry out, "Why must it be?'
Then we find ourselves asking
with Abraham of old, "Shall not
the Judge of all the earth do
