COTTON ADVANCES
 15 ID q POINTS
Early Gain is Followed by De- cline After Publication of Federal Report on Condition and Ginnings.

New York, Oct 2.-An early ad- vance due to somewhat lighter gin ming figures than expected was fol- lowed by declines after the publica- tion of the governments crop report in the cotton market today. After selling off from 32.9S to 32.15, how ever. December rallied and closed at 32.S0. with the general list closing steady at net advance of 15 to 27 points.
 The opening was rather irregular at a decline of : points to an advance of 10 points, but the market very soon firmed up on the census report, showing 3,719,915 bales ginned prior to September p, against 2,5ll ,65S last year and 4.OSl ,9S9 two years ago. This bulge met increased hedge sell ing and while the governments con dition report had no immediate effect of consequence offerings became heavy toward midday The selling was accompanied by reports of an easier spot basis in the South and there was a feeling around the ring that the increased crop indication might have disappointed Southern holders. Prices broke sharply with stop loss orders until covered on the decline.
 The market was st6adied then by trade buying and rallied later on cov- ering, which appeared to be inhu enced by the favorable war news. The

TURKISH PROPOSALS ARE MADE THROUGH
 FINANCIAL SOURCES
British Cabinet ConsiderJ Them and Developments Expected -Allenby's Forces Now Hold Ancient Capital of Syria.

London, Oct. 2.-Turkey has made further indirect approaches to the allies through financial channels. which are being considered by the British war cabinet, the Standard says it learns on good authority. Im- portant developments, the newspaper adds, are expected.
 More than 1000 Turks were taken prisoner when Gen. Allenby's forces occupied Damascus. the war office an- nounced tonight.
 Damascus, the capital of Syria, was occupied by Gen. Allenby's forces on Tuesday morning, according to an official statement issued today by the British war office.
 Damascus is the Turkish base in Syria and Palestine and its fall prob ably means the end of all Turkish re- sistance to Gen, Allenby in Palestine and Syria.
 The capture of Damascus marks an advance of 13O miles by Gen. Allen by's forces since Sept 20, the day he launched his victorious attack north of Jerusalem. In that time the Brit ish have captured more than 50,00O prisoners, destroyed at least three Turkish armies and driven the enemy from Palestine and a great part of Syria.
 Damascus is the junction point of railroads leading to the port of Beirut and Aleppo, 1S0 miles northeast
 Aleppo is the most important Turk ish base in this region of Asia Minor. as it is junction point of the rail roads from Palestine and Mesopo- tamla.
 Damascus is the capital of the Nilayet of Syria and has a popula- tion of about 150000. It is one of the holy cities of the Mohammedans, and the Arabs regard it is one of the four paradises on earth.

FRENCH HAVE CHASED HUNS ID A|SNE CANAL
 OVER 2O-N|LE FRONT
Whole of St. Quentin Now in the Hands of POilus-POcket Has Been Driven Into Hun Lines Near Rheims.

Paris, Oct. 2.-Gen. Berthelot's army this afternoon reached the Aisne Canal at several points. The Germans are retreating all along this front. This represents a German retreat along 20mile front to maximum depth of eight miles.
 Gen. Bertheot's forces in the. course of the night and this morning completed their conquests of St Thierry masif, northwest of Rheims. occupying Poullion and taking the fort of St. Thierry.
 The French now dominate the plain to the east and threaten the German positions all along the Aisne- -Marne Canal from Betheny to the north and including the fort of Brimont, where were posted the guns that accom- phshed the greater part of the de struction of Rheims
 The whole of s. Quentin is in the. hands of the French.
 The French lines were pushed slightly forward towards Betheny. The conquest of the important posi- tions around St. Thierry and the ad- vance of Gen. Gouraud's men in the region of Saint Marie-A-Py, in the. Champagne. increases the gravity of the situation for the German forces holding the heights to the east of Rheims
 Further slight advances by both Gouraud and Berthelot in those re- gions will make of the Rheims salient another pocket from which the Ger mans will find an exit with difficulty
 Fighting continued during the night in the suburbs of St. Quentin. The Germans were trying to repair the breach made there in the Hindenburg line by organizing a defense of the Crozat Canal, where they have massed a great number of machine, guns to prevent the French troops from crossing.

OUTPOURING
OF FARMERS.

The meeting of the Farmers Pro-
gressive Clubs at Martin last Satur-
day brought out an enthusiastic out
pouring of farmers who are members
of the clubs. Reports were had from
the three gentlemen who spent sew
eral days on the loose floor market
at Paducah last week-Messrs. Min
ter McAdoo and White. From their
reports it seems the tobacco market
is encouraging.
While the price was virtually fix
ed at Saturdays meeting, it is not
to be made public until next week.
But we are assured the price will be
satisfactory, both to the grower and
the buyer. 1t is based on prices paid
for the same classes of tobacco in
other sections of the black patch.
The growers seemed to be a unit
on this occasion, and it was re-
marked that for once the old clod
hoppers had got together.

To drop no stitch lest l be stung;

EVERY. FRIDAY: +
GOOD FRIDAY

Friend Joe:-It is always Good
Friday when the dear old Enterprise
makes its appearance. 1t is due on
that day and is usually on time, but
occasionally I am disappointed. The
issue of Feb. l was especially inter
esting-the one with the picture of
our brave boy, Herbert Jones.
looked upon it with tear-dimmed eyes
and read that letter to his mother
with emotion at high tide. Except
that mother, no one loves Herbert
more than his old friend, (of course
father and mother are one) to whom
he was always so attentive, so cour-
teous, so kind These things count
for much to tired traveller of life's
lonely road-lonely because the long
procession of the olden time has
passed into the valley of the shadow
of death-or beyond.
Herbert is not only a true type
of the patriotic soldier-he is of the
best sort-a christian, whose light
| doubt not will shine in that far
away land and his good works glo-
rify the Heavenly Father.
BY the way, | should enjoy hear
ing Richard Holiday talk about his
majesty alphabetically the most
fluent speaker | have heard on the
subject and the best informed.
Why" he wound up after talking
to me long time-"Why, Mrs.
Mooney, the kaiser has more tricks
than the devil and he wants the
whole world to fall down and worship
him." But" l said, "get behind
me, Satan" Let all say, Amen!
But / sat down with pencil in hand
to thank you and the "Fair Lily"
for the beautiful Christmas card
one of the many, but the first, re-
ceived from friends in the dear old
town. I could not reply individually,
as the list is too long and Uncle Sam
charges so much for stamps. Yet
/ am grateful for the kind remem-
brances.
Talk about snow in West Tonnes
see-today for the first time in two
months l look from my window and
see none. But the sun shines bright
and / do see Brother Bobbitt posing
and proving his point, as Cook did
that he had reached the north pole,
for where no shadow is there is no
light.
/ hope you have had many "hold-
ups" along the road, and every one
with money to hand over.
Cordially,
MRS. SUE F. MOONEY.
