that the other fellows dollar is just as good
as our dollar and no one carries over 100
cents value.
We mean by tins that we buy goods just as cheap
as anybody and the .reason we save ycu money is, we
are satisfied on a smaller margin of profit. Make your

New Trustees for
Graded Sceool.
At a meeting of the Town Com-
missioners on last Monday night
the following Trustees of the
Graded School were elected: S.
u. Winstead, W. A. Sergeant
and T. J. Hatchett, for a term of
three years; J. S. Walker and W.
H. Harris, for a term of two
years, and L. M. Carlton and W.
H. Long for a term of one year.
This election took place in ac
cordance with an act of the last
Legislature changing the mode of
election, doing away with the for
mer perpetual mode of electing.
The above board is composed
of some of the best
men in the
town, men who have the
educa-
tional interest of the town
and
County to heart, and if they will
only give a small part of their
time to this work entrusted

ANGLOF RENCH SOLDIER
CROSS GREEK BORDER
urn
The Germans Claim Two Divis
ions Were Nearly. Annihilated.
Will Teutons Invade Greece?;
London, Dec. 13. The, British i
and French troops have ' su'cess;
fully carried out their retirement
1 1
from Serbia across the Grek
frontier, and by an arrangement
with the Greek government a
clear road has been left for thegcn
to fall back on Saloniki, whichfis
being organized as a base. t
The German official report bf
today claims that ' approximate) J
two English divisions were annihi
lated" during the retirement, bt
this is considered here an exag
geration. Accounts from Athens
and Saloniki say the retreat wjis
carried out in an orderly manner
and without heavy losses. By te
destruction of railway bridges afld
roads, and by stubborn rearguard
actions, in one of which two com
panies of the Inniskilling regiment, i
sacrificed themselves to save their
comrades, the Bulgarians were
kept at a fairly safe distance. !
The questin now arises wheth
er the Bulgarians and Austro-
Germans intend to follow the Bri
tish and French tro ps into Greece;
and what action the Greek gov ¬
ernment will take should they do
so. The impression gained from
dispatches emanating in Athens is
that neither the Bulgarians nor
the Turks, who'also are reported
to have arrived near the frontier,
would be welcomed in" Greece,
and that, therefore, if it k been
decided to follow the entente a!-
o.y.Ausinans anq uermans. t
However, with the railway de
stroyed, it may be some days be
fore Greece is called upon to take
action, and by that time the Anglo-French
forces should be safe
in the defenses of Saloniki and un
der the guns of their ships.
The remnants of the Serbian
army are still resisting the Aus
trians and Bulgarians in Albania
while the Austrians are making
very slow progress in their efforts
to overwhelm Montenegro, where
heavy fighting continues.
t Only small actions have taken
ir A . a -i
place on the eastern and western J
frcnfcs. On the Gallipoli peninsula
a full of snow is impeding the op
erations, although the entente al
lied ships keep things lively for
the Turks, whose attempt at an of
fensive List week seems to have
failed.
A British official reports says
that the Turkish attacks at Kut-el-Amara,
where British reinforce
ments are arriving, have been re
pulsed. The attacks were made
from all sides, but the British po
sition was so strong that the Turks
were unable to make any impres
sion on it.
Two Blind Tigers Caught.
On Monday Deputy R. W.
Morris, accompanied by Collector
Lifsey, Cash and Gates went
down near Helena and captured a
still of about 40 gallons capacity
and also took in two of the men, a
white boy named Ruth Ashley
and Gus Mitchell, colored. There
was another man at the still but
he succeeded in out running the
officers and made his escape.
Those who ljke their Christmas
cup say they do not think Bob is
doing the proper thing in destroy
ing all of the stills just at this
time, as they fear the Christmas
cnnnlv will be cut too short.
However,; Sheriff Thompson and
Bob Morcis are made of the right

,L vljee Memorial Highway
J On last Wednesday at 2 o'clock
Col. Benehan Cameron addressed
a good sized audience on the sub
ject of the .proposed highway
from the North to the South. Col.
Came ron is much interested in the
subject of good roads pnd gave
uis nearers a most timely ana in
teresting talk on the subject. t
After his address an organiza
tion to be known as the Lee Mem
orial Highway Association was
formed, with Mr. J. A. Long as
president and Mr. N. Lunsford as
secretary. It was agreed that the
townships of Woodsdale, Hol
loways and Flat River, be organ
ized and see what could be done
to secure this highway through
these townships.
The meeting was very enthusi
astic and it is hoped that the mat
ter will be kept before the people.
It means much for the the town
ships and the County and every
one should lend a helping hand in
securing the building of this route.
