BE Made ut Once.

Mr.. c. S. Jones, general manager of
the Liberty Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany, who has been on the southern
tobacco markets all of the summer.
is spending short time in Maysville
making plans for quite an improve
ment in the Liberty Warehouse for
the coming season.
Mr.. Jones made arrangements for the
building of good sized cellar under
the house which will be concreted and
put in first-class condition so that a
large amount of the weed can be han
died there He has also made ar
rangements to make another drive

CARRIED TO THIS CITY

news Fight With NelghbOr
Yesterday Afternoon.

Dewey Sweet, who lives in the
Plumville neighborhood, was arrested
here this afternoon on Market street
when he renewed a fight he had yes
terday afternoon with Robert Shoe
mate.
1t seems as though Sweet and Shoe
mate had quite a scrap in tobacco
barn in the Plumville neighborhood
yesterday afternoon and although
Sweet is said to have an open knife
in his hand, he is wearing several
rather bad bruises on the side of his
face where Shoemate is said to have
struck him several times with a to-
bacco stick.
When the men met on Market street
here this afternoon the fight was
again taken up. The officers were no
tilted by business men in the district
and both young men were soon taken
in charge and delivered to Squire
Fred Bauer's court where a warrant
charging Sweet with breach of the
peace was issued.
Sweet said he had friends in town
who would go on his bond for his APP
pearance and he was taken by officers
to locate the friends.

Germans Sacrifice Many Reserves -
British and French Near

Paris. September 2O-Hindenburg
has begun to hit back.
With his main line defenses every
where menaced, and facing a possible
second retreat far more disastrous
than the first, he is being forced to
sacrifice part of his precious reserves
in an effort to save himself
The latest news as this is cabled is
that the German armies have been
repulsed everywhere in their counter
attacks, while piles of dead boches lie
before the British lines between Cam
brai and st. Quentin.
Meantime, Generals Byng, Rawlin-
son and Debeney are enclosing St.
Quentin, one of the most important
pivotal points of the Hidenburg line,
which is exactly what Hindenbure
had hoped to prevent,
With the regularity of the swing Of
a pendulum Marshal Foch is hitting
the Germans hard all along the line.

digging themselves in from the sea to

next blow will fall, they are expecting

Fearing for Lille and Douia, Hin
denburg has been forced to cocen-
trate part of his available reserve
there. Cambrai and St Quentin arc
threatened, so another mass of men is
required in this region.
General Mangin's drive toward the
keystone positions northeast of Sois-
sons necessitates a third batch of re-
serves.
General Pershing's press toward
Metz and Briey and the very gates OF
Germany itself, calls for a fourth
group, while the fear that the allies
will strike toward the Rhine through
Alsace is keeping the Huns worried
there.

lows:

Dismissed for the lack of testi-
mony.
Upon inspection of the County Jail,
wish to report that We found same in

hole in the wall made by one Thorpe
over which we recommend that a steel
| plate be placed at once
| The sheriff's Office we found in very
bad condition due to plastering upon
same being very loose, so we there
fore recommend that same be replas-
tered and papered.
The plasterng in the Assessors Of
| flee is also in bad condition and
should be repaired at once,
The office of the County Clerk and
that of the Circuit Clerk we found in
good repair and first-class condition,
Upon inspecting the main building
wish to recommend as follows: The
hall should be frescoed and the paper
on same removed. The Grand Jury
room should be papered and toilet
placed on same floor. The Office of
the County Judge we found to be in
very bad condition and hereby recon-
mend that same be painted and paper
ed and a private office be made for the
use of the Commissioners and the
County Judge.
1t is also recommended that the Of
fee now being occupied by Squire
Bauer be taken over by the County
Assessor also that filing cases be put

come before this body 1t is hereby or
dered by said body that they do now
adjourn.
