These are advancing along the three great highways*that lead into the heart of Germany. v Their advance is no holiday pa rade, but is conducted with ev ery dictate of prudence and caution to meet any possible treachery. If such should arise it will be handled asit deserves. It should be borne in mind that technically speaking the war is merely suspended, and not ended. These are glorious days for France as her troops enter the towns and villages of Alsace- Lorraine of which they were robbed by Germany in L870- The advancing troops are mot with every honor and evidence of delight from the inhabitants. They are French to the heart and are proud of their reunion agkin. The little Duchy of Luxembourg gave only a for- 1 mal protest to the violation of its neutrality by the Germans io 1914, and it was supposed that its inhabitants were so pro- (iorman until they would give at best, but a half hbarteibwel- come to tthe American troops.

But one exploit is novy the talk of’the army, and it seems to be as wonderful as anything that has been done bv these knitrhts- er.rant of the atr. It happened over the Forest of Alormal, in British hands since yesterday, and there, over .those dense woods with a queer kind of Eif fel Tower in the centre of them, tlew a Major of one of the Brit ish flying squadrons, searching for the whereabouts of the Brit ish troops and for any German fighting plane which he might challenge to a duel. . He saw a two-seater, flying at ‘Ar chies” and any other* trouble, and the major climbed up to it an a wide spiral and then from below fired at it. The German « pilot and observer fell; their ma chine breaking in the air, and one man dropping in a para chute. Immediately a Fokker bi plane came into view, and the major heard the whistling of bullets through his plane, and then felt harflmer stroke on his left thigh, i He had been hit, and for the moment was stun ned. His airplane began to spin Old Man Dixtoa and the Paint ed Pecans. r ' (By DuB ( ois) “The sun do move” was the subject that an illiterate moun tain preacher once took for his text arid it is‘said that the ser mon was a powerful one, mov ing many to tears and repent ance. And you know, it is tohi, that Rev. Dixson, father of the RED CROSS DEPARTMENT. The annual meeting of the Barnwell County Chapter ’ of American Bed Cross was held on Wednesday afternoon, the 20th inst., at four o’clock at the Red Cross Work. Room, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year and the tran- ac tion'of other important busi- well known writer, Thomas* ness. Quite a lagre crowd was Dixson, preached a sermon, j present. BlaekvilLe, Martins, taking for his text that part of Lynhurst and Healing Springs scripture stating that “The Master raised his voice in the Branches were well represent ed. On account of sickness temple and cried in a loud several Branches had no repre- » voice.” Old man Dixson in terpreted that to mean that the Master really wept, shed tears, moaned, etc., but it was * a sentatives present. The meeting .was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. L. P. Wilson, and was opened with searching-intercourse and those 1 prayer by Rev. L. E. Peeler, who heard him shouted and took on as never before. Of course every thing moves on in some way.
