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

The farms are small and rultieated

Is any man who buys lands in these

If the country be not free and in

Allendale. Oct. 1*2.—The sale of Lib

factorily in Allendale. The woman's
committee, headed by Mrs. E. H. Os

Patterson, Mary Visser, John Dunbar,
William Oswald, W. T. Googe and W.
I. 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

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

Allendale will go over the top with
colors flying as in the past This af

American troops, with the

terrific attack on a twenty-mile
front from Uambrai southward and
shattered the remnants of the Hin-

wide front, advancing along the
whole fighting line to an average
depth of three miles.
The violence of the British ar

The assault was launched in a

We Southerners are fighters, BUT—we are not bond buyers, to our
Shame be it said!. Being Southerners, we can say it. Do you want the
proof? There are 7,882,000 people, old and young, white and colored, in
this District who did not buy a bond of either the Second or Third Loan:
3,730,000 of them live in North and South Carolina.. 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. This has been com
mented upon in a country wide publication.
