DINNER ON GROuND-MANY
ATTENDED

Those who were at Zion Hope Fri
day for the Sacred Harp singing,
were agreeably surprised at the large
number of people present and the
unusual opportunity for enjoying the
day. Those who went had prepared
a sumptuous spread of good things to
eat. They had a singing program
that was highly enjoyable and they
gave some of the day to plans for
identifying and keeping the cemetery
in shape for the coming year.
Mayor j. Gordon Jones, of Cordele

who heard him said he made a very
strong patriotic appeal. The Sacred
Harp singing was engaged in during
the time allotted to this and many
singers were present to take part.
The money with which to keep up
the cemetery for the coming year was
raised and now there is more than
800 in the treasury. About 900 peo-

The los of Mount KENNEL has evil
IDENTIFY failed to disorganize in any
way the allied resistance in the Ypres
region. The lin intact seems to have
stiffened since this isolated height
was taken by the Germans and the
enemy afr day of desperate strug-

everywhere.
Locre, west of Mount KENNEL, and
Voormezee1e, two miles south of 'Ypres
were the chief points under attack
by the Germans in their vain effort
to develop their success of the pre-
vious day, at each the enemy failed
to gain his detectives.
There SENS quite a general dispo.
sition on the part of military observ-

donment of the Ypres salient as a
result of the fall of Mount KENNEL
1t has been pointed out by British
war office, however but this result will
not necessarily follow. 1t is likewise
observed, however, that should tins
