On the second day the bombardment overturned six guns, killing four men and wounding 14, but on the first day only an observation officer was killed and one man was wounded. "Of the overturned guns, three were again placed in position on the following morning. Outer Forts Weakest. "The outer fortifications are the oldest in Turkey and their speedy subjection always has been count ed on. The real defense line lies further in, where the difficult wa tt rwavs deprives ships of the pow er to maneuver freely and obliges them to move in a narrow defile which is commanded by artillery and mines. The real defenses of the Dardanelles have not been af fected in any way by what lias oc curred so far."

TWO COUNTY TOWNS ARE PROSPERING Homer City and Marion Center Are Working on Improve ments to Benefit Them THEY HAVE BEEN NEEDED Two Indiana county towns that heretofore had been living sort of quiet lives, with an occasional po litical light to cause a little excite ment, are having a grand awak ening and -before long we expect to hear a much better report from the two communities. Reference is made to Marion Center and Ilo mer City. A petition has been received from Marion Center residents ask ing for aid in the building of a new road through the borough. A strange matter in connection with the petition is the fact that it is the first appeal for state and coun ty aid for road making ever receiv ed from that section of the coun -1 ty lying north of White township, l The proposed new road would ex. : tend from the borough line, through the business section to Manor street, and then about 1500 feet along the Punxsutawney road. | A special election will be held in Marion Center on the first Monday in May to secure the consent of the taxpayers for the bonding of the borough in a sufficient sum of money to take care of the expens es. Coupled with the new road will be the electric light and water systems and the town will boom. Down at Homer City active steps are being taken for the placing of j a macadamized road over the main i street of the town, an improve ment that has long been needed. The electric lighting of the town will be accomplished within a short time and it is said that a wa ter system may be the next im provement to be placed. All this improving is costing money, but ! the taxpayers are evidently of the intention that it is a paying in vestment, as there lias been no very serious objections to them. Important Notice.
