Rev. Richmond Twitty's many

will be glad to hear that he is inn

fering from a severe attack of
appendicitis for the past month.
Last week, In this part of the
country, was pretty cold for the
season of the year. We had frost
almost every morning. and one
or two of them ice. Tender vege-
tation has received a t-back,
and farming and gardening
operations greatly retarded.
Conductor S. A. Evans and
wife passed through this city
last Sunday for Ferridy, La,
where they will make their fu-

senger train of the Warren
Branch for long time, and has
many friends all along the line
who will regret to see him leave,
but will be glad to learn that the
change is made to accept more
lucrative position.
Crop prospects, in this part
of the country, so far as
we see, are not very flattering
at this time. Very little corn is
up and what is, looks yellow and
frost bitten. OF course there is
plenty of time yet to make a big
tcorn-crop, and we hope this will
be done, for there is no doubt
but that it will be needed here
for the coming year. The wide
awake farmer will see to it that
his corn-crop is not sighted.

 Tn the evening the artillery activity was revived on nearly the whole of the front between Arras and Albert and on both sides of the Somme. It con tinued lively during the night. The enemy advanced several times in strong reconnaissance, but was repulsed and left prisoners in our hands" "The fighting activity revived intermit- tently between the Avre and the Marne. West of the Disc we captured 10 machine guns in four field engagements. partial attack launched by the enemy north west of Chateau Thierry was repulsed.

VETS BENEFIT DAY
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU PROVES A SUCCESS
Substantial Sum Raised-House Is Packed at Each Performance.
 U. D. C.'s Present

Confederate Veterans benefit day at Loews Bijou yesterday resulted in packed house at each performance. Representatives of the U. D. C. Pel- ham chapter had the day in charge for the veterans and many of the old sol diers were present in their uniforms Although very little publicity had been given the event, from the great num- Der attending it appears that some Tit tie bird" had been busy.
 The representatives of the T.. D. c. expressed their gratitude to the man. agement of the theatre for the assist ance. It has been very generally known over the city that relief was needed in several instances and it is thought that the sum realized yesterday will do much toward this end. It was i'm possible to ascertain the exact amount at late hour last night, as per- centage of the total gross receipts for each performance was donated and the amounts had not been checked. It is known, however, that it will be sun- stantial sum, as the audience at each performance was even larger than the usual large ones which journey daily to this popular playhouse.
