ROBINSON'S SHOW
COMING TO HICKORY
Mammoth Enterprise Will Pitch
Tents in Hickory in the
Good Old Fall Time.
Friday October IS, is the date fixed
when Hickory streets will be crowded
with §cot only Hickory people but
people for.miles around. The country
swain will be on deck to bay his
"yellow haired, freckled face' steady
tlie usual amount of "red lemonade
and circus peanuts," for it will be
ci.cus day. The Robinson Famous
Shows will pitch its tents here for one
day, and the small boy will set up all
night to see the show come in. Next
day he will be in evidence around the
grounds looking for a chance to carry
water to elephants in order to get a
free pass. The sedate business man
will have a well disguised shiver of
anticipation, and he is found
wending his way to the show grounds
will excuse himself by saying, "I
didn't care about the show, but the
boy wanted to come." Oh, n£, he did
not care about the show. Children
come in handy occasionally to lay
things to.
The rural residents will have figured
cut long in advance that the dav of
Robinson's circus is just the day that
he has important business in town.
But what's the use? We'll all go, so
hurrah for the circus.
The Gaston Fair.

FRENCH ATTACK THE
GERMAN SECOND LINE
Seemingly, However, the Allied
Forward Movement Has Lost
Some of Its Impetuosity.
London, Sept. 29.—1n Cham
pagne the French are attacking
the German second line of trench
es and are making further pro
gress, but seemingly the allies'
offensive movement is not being
carried on with the same impet
uous that characterized the first
two days of the operations. The
successes won are recognized as
very important, but the main ob
ject, which is to break through
the German lines, has not yet
been accomplished.
Both the British and French
have greatly improved their posi
tions, and, by gaining the hills
and crests from which they can
dominate the German lines cf
•
communication, their next at
tempt to secure a decisive victory
should be made easier to carry
out, in the view of experts here.
The French continue to push
forward east of Souchez, aiming
at the heights of Vimy, which
command the plain to the east;
while the British to the north are
making secure their hold on the
LensLaßassee road and are beat
ing off the German counter at
tacks.
The battle in is
over a 16-mile front, where the
French are attacking and are
within less than two miles of the
railway which crosses the coun
try behind the German positions,
and which has been so useful to
them in moving troops and sup
plies to threatened points. With
the French guns within easy
range the railway is rendered
useless.
As usual there is a great diver
gence between the German and
French official accounts of the
battles. The Germans claim that
all the French attacks have been
repulsed and that a number of
prisoners have been captured.
