1t will he seen from the following
notice, which we copy from the Mont
gomery ALA Advertiser of Oct. I'd, that
Lay Everhart, formerly Of this city, has
been enrolled as naval cadet: News
has reached this city that Lay Everhart,
son of Rev. DR.. Everhart, of Hammer
Hall, successfully passed the examina-
ton at Annapolis, and is enrolled as a
naval cadet. Out of class of eighty
four presented for examination forty
four were rejected. This young gentle
man stood especially high in mathema-
tics, and it is only just to say. that his pre-
paration in this branch watts confined al
most entirely to the instruction he re-
ceived from his father and Miss Addie |
Everhart."

event was well known to Mr.. and Mrs.

of a century had passed since their
lives were united. It became known in
some way, however, and preparations to
fifty commemorate the silver wedding of
the worthy couple have been in progress
