Dear Readers of The Courier: How thankful we are for a wise Christian President. Our hearts go out in gratitude to him and the Federal Council of the churches of America for urging that the first Sunday in Oct. be observed as, 8 day of special prayer for;peace;;in Europe and the world oyer Left us with one accord unite in eajii est supplication for a speedy peace, which may be quickly followed, by a disarmament of the nations. The fallacies of "peace through readi ness of war" and peace preserved by armaments have, ex plodjed disastrous effects. May our pray ers be vitalized by a deep abiding faith. Realizing that the "Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. He maketh wars to cease; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder." The more brutal and fatal im plements of war are as nothing compared to the might and power of prayer that touches the heart of Infinity. Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. Yours in Christian love, Mr. and Mrs. T. H.

The Fair management has agreed upon having a motorcycle race every afternoon at four o'clock during the three days of the Fair.

If you want to know the new way of casing up windows see Mr. Riley O'Briant who put the casing on his windows bottom sides up, and said that it worked fine. As Mr. Blace Yarbrough was passing he stopped and told him that he was putting on his casing with the wrong side up,' Mr. O' Briant, said that he didn't know but he thought it looked mighty nice. Uncle Jimmie. place, we would have been killing Mexicans' -and fliey killing our dear boys long since, but Mr. Wilson remembered that all these boys had; fond mothers and he would do nothing to precipitate a war which would break the hearts of thousands of mothers all over our land. And his two letters in reply to the Belgian commission, and Em peror William of Germany are models as great state papers. He wouldn't commit his Government in the least degree to either side, but said it would have to await the termination of the war when all these matters would come up for settlement, by the proper tri bunal. His great hand is steady on the helm of state and there is no danger of our rdning upon the rocks while he has the reins in his hands. One grand cause of his suc cess is the good people of the United States are upholding him in their daily papers to God for hiin, ; he can't fail, with- all these prayers going" up daily idr his suc cess. It seems he was providential ly raised up for these present em ergencies, I say God bless our no ble President and let all the peo ple continue to remember him in prayer at a throne of grace. Well the Germans are like the French King marched up within 30 miles of Paris, and then sud denly turned about and are now with their backs to their7 oppon ents 70 miles from Paris, doubt less this reverse is very galling to the German Emperor, and very humiliating to his pride, I thought when he met the old steady Bri tons he would meet with foemen worthy of his steel. Our farmers are mostly through with cutting and curing tobacco, some little out yet, it is. curing very well, mostly bright cures. Esq. Cuningham had a gathering of youpg people at his house last night and all experienced a pleas ant and delightful evening, it was given in honor of his neices the Misses Packard. Janel Powell our neighbor is in the hospital at Danville, for treat ment, and at last accounts was not improved. Our county ticket is the best I believe we have ever put out, and we must elect it by a big majority. Frank. been thrust back about seven miles during the last 48 hours as a se quel to continuous fighting day and night. Both armies, despite almost superhuman fatigue, show the ut most determination not to yie'd an inch of ground without a terri ble struggle but the fresher troops at the disposal of the allied com manders gradually forced the Ger mans to recede. Turcos are adding daily to their record of daring achievements. Late last night in a costly bayonet encounter they broke through the German lines without firing more than a few shots, recaptured and brought back four field guns the French troops had abandoned the previous day. They seemed to dis dain the murderous rifle and ma chine gun fire poured into them, refusing to listen to the officers who tried to keep them under cover. A Cold steel again played a con siderable part today in the battle of the enormousr hosts fighting along the Aisne, the Oise and Woevre. The most - remarkable point about the encounters is that the trooDS scarcely see each other oeiore tney. actually come nana to 5 Recklessness displayed at the beginning of the , hostilities with the resultant carnage through the machine guns, has almost disap peared and every movement of Mr. Wes.

The Germans have suffered most in these engagements, for the French troops from Africa and the British infantry are adepts with the bayonet, and they wait in the trenches until their adver saries are so close that a quick dash brings them together.
