THE ITALIAN OFFENSIVE Not since the outbreak of the European War has a more determined offensive been staked than that which the Italians are now waging against the Austro-Hungarians in the Isonzo region, which is just across the Adriatic sea from the boot shaped empire over which King Victor Immanuel reigns. Late press dispatches indicate that the offensive, which is yet not more than a fortnight old, will develop into complete victory for the Ita lians and utter rout and defeat ior the Austrians probably surrender. The forces of General Ca dorna, the Joff re of Italy, have been hurling thous ands of tons of powder and steel into the Austrian ranks, in some instances reducing whole regi ments and divisions to mere handsful of exhaust ed men. 1 On the Isonzo front the Italians are reported to have a large field gun every thirty-four yards for 'a distance of thirty-five miles something like five thousand cannon, belching forth death and destruction. The entire Italian nation is flushed with the prospects of victory, a long desired accomplish ment, and it now looks as if the sun-tanned peo ple of the Mediterranean will be accommodated by the God of War. At the same time, our Allies on the Franco-German front have been steadily gaining ground, but have had more stubborn resistance. The German is a more experienced fighter than the Austrian, and it might be said that he is more of a veteran, hence the apparently slow progress the Allied offensive is making. But the Teuton will be beat en and it will not be many months. CONCERNING THE CEMETERY No town in the state has a more beautiful or a more picturesque cenie- , tery than has the town of Greenville. ! Situated on a hill that slopes gently down to the cavine IkMow. it makes a picture ofquiet. serene, beauty such as the artists love to paint and of which the poets sing. It is indeed a fitting place in which our loved ones sleep their last long sleep. But why is "The City of the Dead"' neglected? Why, is it left to the mercy of the weeds and the rank undergrowth'1 Just now it presents a lamentable appearance. Weeds are standing so high that all but the tallest of the monu ments are obscured from views. Grass grows in such tangled masses that walk ing is almost impossible. Such con ditions should not exist. Is it really true that the life of a man is like 1111- NOTICE TO CREDITORS. Having qualified as administra trix of W. E.
