The week has been marked with fierce fighting between the Germans and the allied troops of Belgium, France and England. Sunday the allies made fierce assaults upon the Germans but were driven back with heavy losses oiT both sides. The allies were forced to take the defensive and are contesting every inch of the ground as the Germaea hurl their immense forces ogatnet them in their efforts to march to Paris and capture the French Capi tol. The French have I?een forced to abandon their positions in Ala-sce-Larraine and the fighting is on French soil. In the meantime the Russians are advancing through Prussia toward Berlin and also are attacking the Austrians and dispatches from Vien na claim that a three days fight in Russian Polland the Austrians haive defeated the Russians and that the Russians are -in full fight. This report is denied at St. Peters" burg.

UNVEILING CEREMONIES AT WEBSTER The Woodmen of the World un veiled the monuments of Nathan Davis, and Frederick W. Moore last Sunday. The ceremony was beautifull: and impressively performed, and a; excellent speech was delivered b Hon. S. J. Kerr of Canton. I have not lately heard so good a speech, surely the unveiling ceremonies, and such an eloquent plea for the cause of Woodmen, will result in 'many a man in Jackson County, joining the order, and taking out in surance. Unmarried man join the order and take out insurance. If you should die, your mother, sister, or some one else near to you might need it. Married man, join and take out insurance. If you shovld die, you owe it to your wife and children, because it's a provision, you can make, and they will need it when you are gone. Look at the little boy or girl. Go and do something for the child while you can, next week might be too late. Sovereigns McFee of Canton, and Kenney of Balsam are working hard for the order. J. J. Gray, DEMONSTRATION. The electrical demonstration giv en Saturday evening at the audi torium by Jackson County's young electrician, Mr. George Cox, of Cul- lowhee, was an entertainment of a unique character and one that proved to be very interesting to the people. Mr. Cox made a short talk on electrical subjects and then de monstrated different phases of the wonders of that mysterious force. It was regrettable however that Mr. Cox was handicapped by the burning out of a fuse. It taking some time to remedy this .he was unable because of lack of time to complete his entire program. DO VOD KNOW THAT- Sixty thousand persons are ac cidently lkiled every year in the' United States. One death in every twelve is caused by accident. One person is killed every nine minutes. More deaths are caused by accident than by any disease except tuber culosis and heart disease. One person in every six suffers physical disability every year. Of all causes of physical disabili ty, only 5 per cent are fatal Accident and health covers the over 95 per cent. The United States Government tax on liquors and tobacco for' one year would buy ten billion dollars of life insurance? and the amount spent over the counter fot liquor and tobacco would buy thirty bil lions of life insurance.--W H. 0. in Pacific Mutual News. - -; .

PEOPLh WILL KNOW. ''What's the use? Nobody knows." How often have young men and meri Jiot s6 young a$d some Wo mendeluded themselves into a false security by the thought that nobody knows?" , But somebody does know often everybody knows. No matter what our imperfections may be, there, are those who know and what a few know, the people will know. It matters not what our aims and aspirations may be, the people will know sooner or later will always know. No mouth is so close but that a word is dropped here and there, and when two and two are put to gether brains will call it four. The man who totters on the brink of dishonor must reconcile himself to the fact that some will know many will know eventually every body will know and will judge as they know. The woman who perils her soul must accept the world as her audience, for a few people will, know and others will know and then all will know and again will judge as they know. The churchman Jwho bespatters bis cloak of religion is not immune. People know know him know his ways know him for what he is and judge him as they know. The man who swaggers through life with pride in his wickedness is also known known by his deeds by his sins by his lack of morality of sense and of brains. He,, too will be judged as he is known. No act is so small, no characteris tic so infinitesimal, but that the. people will know will always know And people' will talk some soft lyothers noisly with a shrug, here -a wink there or a grin. Tor the people will know will always know--and will judge us by what they know. What's the use? There's every use. . Make it a good deed here, a word of kindness there, a helping hand to the afflicted and the needy, for every little act has its -influence on each and every -one of us. And in this the people, will know will always know and will judge us as they know For people were born to know. J. 1 M r v 4 V , 1 9 - 4 -
