that it was lark nf fighting effective*
that forced the enemy to ah'indnni
all he had gained In hi* drive of this

Unofficial report· from Dunkirk,
where Allied air patrols are bax-d, in

Sir Douglai Haig's men have a firm '
hold astride the line between Dou.ii '

it will be little abort of a military mi

can organiie a defense for Doom, ;

weight of the allied armlet.
If three towns fall, the llindcn

SPECIAL NOTICE
To the People of Dunn:
Wc. the undersigned Retail Merchants of the Town of
Jimn take this method of giving the public notice, that be
ginning next Monday morning, Sept. 16th, there will be
no delivery of - ny groceries, produce or any food or ferd
btuff of any kind whatever.
After thoroughly considering the matter we are con
vinced that taking this step will he bénéficiai both to our
customers and ourselves a· we will be enabled to cut
down expense» and sell to our customers for less money.
At this time when our country is at war and sufeh a
draft in being made on our manpower, we find it impossi
ble to employ help enough to conduct our business as we
have heretofore. In doing this we are only cooperating
with the Goyernment in winning the war. This rule will
bo followed tor the duration of the war and longer if the
wme good reasons continue.
