C. i On account of the European war, many are the wiseacres who predict hard times in this country, and especiall in the cotton states. If the women will wear cotton instead of silk "accessoi ies" and the men will lengthen their shirts, there will be used all the cotton made and Europe , can go han^. Death knocks at the door of the cottage and the portals of the mansion. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of ( the President of the United States, ? died last Thursday aftrnoon. an dthe interment was at Rome, Ga. The country sympathises deeply with the President in his bereavement. j THE WAR NEWS. S / ? There is really no news in regard to the Europea waf no win progresss. B The armies of the two contending sides are pnassing on the French . frontier and Belgium, several thousand strong, and a battle such as the world has seldom witnessed will no HB^Bdoubt take place in a day or two.

France, England, Servia, ? W^m and Turkey and Bulgaria arc still r neutral, but all three nave mobilize.i their forces to protect their neutrality., The., probably all three will yet talie sid .s. The English and French fleets have wrought much havoc upon the immanse German merchantmen, eaptu- ^ ring many prizes, but so far no na- . val eiigas *me.it has taken place. A big sea tight between the English and . German fleets in the Xo:th sea lias ^ momentarily been expected, and it ? may occur at any hour. The above briefly summarizes tljo situation. The finances of this country have been.,affected practically M very !itf!*-. and with the English and i French in absolute control of the! . se i r.-id their ports open to us, the j war should hurt us but little.
