FROM
EUREKA SPRING,
Graham, N. C.
A valuable mineral spring
has been liiscovered by W. H.
Ausley on his place in Qraham.
It was noticed that it brought
health to the users of the water,
and upon being analyzed it was
ofund to be a water strong in .
mineral properties and good
for stomach and blood troubles.
Physicians who have seen the
analysis and what it does,
recommend its use.
Analysis and testimonials
will be furnished upon request.
Why buy expensive mineral
waters from a distance, when
there is a good water recom
mended by physicians right at
. home ? For further informa

The dispatch says:
"There was severe fighting between
the poles and Germans in Posen Fri
day, which resulted In 38 women and
children and about one hundred Ger
mans and Polanders being killed. The
affray originated as a result of a Ger
man officer firing «n an allied auto
mobile which was proceeding to War
saw, carrying the American flag.
"The Germans insulted the flag and
the Polish guard was called out. The
fighting lasted several hours and the
Germans were defeated.
"A delegation fro mthe British mis
sion to Posen protested to the Ger
man commander in the town. General
Sahimmelfeng, but the German officer
declared that he had no control over
the soldiers."

THE SIQHT.
FLEET REEIEWED IT DANIELS
Rugged, Weather-Beaten Tan Headed
by Daniels And Mayo, Murch
Down Fifth Avenue.
New York. —'Hiding at anchor In the
Hud noil were 21 superdreadnaughts,
dreadnatights and ships of the line
which, with cruisers, destroyers and
a host of smaller craft, made the
mightiest American armada ever a»
sein bled.
Ten of the floating fortresses steam'
ed Into the hgrbor after 18 month*'
sorvlco overseas with fleatty's grand
fleet. The others are the flower of the
North Atlantic float. Qrim guardlam
of a great nation, they symbolized that
that the United States has Become th«
second naval power of the world.
In the teeth of a northwester, in
the chill of a driving snowstorm,
millions waited hours until the 10
battleships of the home-coming arv
mada appeared. This was New
Vork'B a«ri the nation's tribute to the
ships, fur more eloquent that th«
greatest din of whistles, bells and
humun voices. Tho vocal welcome
cumo later when the rugged weather
beaten tars who were debarked, with
Secretary Daniels and Admiral Mayo
at their head, marched down Fifth
avenue.
Lending civilians In the cheering
were wounded soldiers returned from
Franco.
Passing In rcvlow beforo the sec
retary of the navy, off tho Statue of
Liberty, the home-coming ships loom
ed suddenly out of the mist and as
rapidly They seemed
almost llko phantom craft, grim,
gray, nw Jostle in their silent might.
Hut as they dropped anchor rhe skies
cleared and they stood revealed in
holiday attire, ablaze from stern wltli
multlcoiorel pennanU. To many of
those who lined the shores this shaft
of sunshlno symbolized the light of
peace which awaltod the fleet after
Uio gloom of war from which it had
emorged.
