Dear Miller: This is my 5th Sunday in France and in that time I have seen more than one-half the country including Paris. The country is beautiful and- dotted with small villages, old and quaint. You are seldom out of sight of a village. The most of them are hidden in valleys. It is very much like the Western North Carolina coun try with no high peaks. The roads are fine, just perfect, avid a great many of them are bordered by of trees. All road forks and mads hare signs distances and you cannot get The farms are small and rultieated like gardens I hare not seen a tin gle farming implement that la Just khe ours, emrept the moving mark mo mad they mere made hp dm tioaal Haroeoimg Marti me Ca * « * * » BLACKVILLE GOES “OVER THE TOP” WITH $77,400.00 '• I m «»< tty Muftma m hdhmud hi hhnm odu tags* apum m»*m fmm Momuaeat MwaAumetooo I im»* mp lomhumm I tost nod tUN» ««msauomo la erne odhasu aod a mmguou as msdh sd hhe ohhee sdhnpm aoue,: I flm** am tnom* uuah omasta lame mom t «oahounahhl - ■ — I «s o PoaoA msaomodl and I maum vamam I am Idam am hMih am hau I adpmao ami dhssm usah lamm home I irf thd hmsa, hamm ihflhmam I i '«ehaa ami Commi fkom am as homi mumman I am Ismmu paasammMi am «g| mm uh>o in wmma suh hm am psuhs t osm* mao M* am sM mm omi t smo hmh fkuftip oasups hapan uhn iua a a %*% ami Caama i ssssssssS'sss The Red Cross Chapter has received onVhundyed ahd fifty garments, ready cut, to te mAde for the over seas des titute children.

Johns is Untiring in its efforts to se cure subscriptions and have succeeded so far in yaising $30,000, .jvhich is al-, I most one-third of Allendale's appor tionment. There was much disap pointment over the fact that the large community gathering and Libery Bond rally which had been arranged by the committee had to be cancelled on account of influenza. However, this has not put a damper on their . work and there is no doubt bub that Allendale will go over the top with colors flying as in the past This af ternoon the woman's committee will assemble in one of the parks in the center of town and solicit each indi vidual, white and colored, and aa great fra© the and T« Oct. ft.—Bniiah American troops, with the emtkm of a French army on their right, early this morning opened a terrific attack on a twenty-mile front from Uambrai southward and shattered the remnants of the Hin- denburg system of defenses on a wide front, advancing along the whole fighting line to an average depth of three miles.

Similar conditions prevailed in the rest of the District, and a similar report has been made to the other states. -The report of the Treasury Department shows that the SoutR responded to the Third Loan, a to the num©r of Bubscri©rs, to a smaller extent than any other part of the Country.
