SILVER WEDDING
3 ANNIVERSARY
Celebrated BY Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. L. Parker, Ncvem-
Der 81.
Welded rs YEARS.
Many Friends Present And
J. Numerous Valuable Pres
y ents Receeivd.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Parker enter
tanned charmingly at their hospita-
BILE country residence three miles
east of the city Saturday evening,
Nov. 21st, it being their twenty-hfth
wedding anniversary. -
There were about twenty five fam
ily and individual invitations issued
to very close relatives and friends,
and large. merry crowd it was,
when all. assembled.
The hours were from seven to
Aleleven o'clock.
4 The residence was beautifully IL
Illuminated and tastefully decorated.
Lovely potted plants and beautiful
cut flowers, in rich profusion every
where, and in every room, lent their
added charm and fragrance to the
festive occasion. n
Mn the reception hall just beneath
Ne glowing light, was suspended a
large wedding bell. Passing on be-
meath the grille to the rear hall, at
the lefc just back of the portieres,
was large, brilliantly lighted table,
covered with spotless drawn linen
eminently suited as an appropriate
background to the glittering, shining
silver thereon, so beautifully dis,
played. The spacious dining room
was a veritable dream of beauty
with its potted plants, trailing spren-
geri, and graceful ferns. The man
tel was banked high with lovely flow
ers, and suspended from above to
meet these, trailing sprengeri. The
window draperies of white lace were
beautifully adorned with Boston
fern leaves arranged to simulate in
tricatc lace designs.
The cherry sideboard had its share
of graceful floral decorations.
Above the center of the table was
suspended an immense chandelier
adorned with silver white festoons
hanging between the several brilliant
lights, and these with the other dra-
peries and windings made it indeed
thing of beauty. Diagonally across
the room stretched one long heavily
burdened table. In the center OF
the table was large lace center
piece upon which stood tall cut
glass vase filled with delicately tint

people and no less than four marri
ages have occurred between soldiers
and young ladies in the Night Rider
districts.
Last spring Sergt. John Owens, OF
Middlesboro, was married to Miss
Campbell, of Golden Pond.
In September Amos Winstead, of
Madisonville, was married to Miss
Sarah Nabb, of Cerulean Springs.
The same month Floyd T. Brooks,
Of Henderson, and Miss Cosie Hicks,
of Golden Pond, were married.
On Oct. 9,J.J. Sweeney, of Owens.
boro, and Miss Ruth Smith, of
Princeton, were welded. How
many other marriages will result
from the acquaintance formed du-
ring the campaign of year, re-
mains to be seen.
1t is worthy of note that not a
single shot has ever been fired at a
soldier during all this time, though
they have made many arrests and
performed their duties with utter
disregard of possible danger. In
some places urgent appeals by wire
and mail were sent to the Governor,
begging him to keep the troops or
duty, representing that they were
the only guarantee Of liberty, lives
and property. 1t is said that some Of
the appeals were sent by persons who
formerly had protested against the
employment of soldiers.
The jacksonville troops on duty
at Gracey, under Lieut.. Utley, have
madefriends of everybody and many
expressions of general regret over
their departure are heard.

Thanksgiving Day was very gen.
orally observed in the city. Practi-
cally all of the business houses closed
a part of the day and many of them
did not reopen in the afternoon.
The union Thanksgiving services
were conducted at the Christian
church and the sermon was preach

services were held at Grace Episco-

No Less Than Four Roman

ed in Weddings.

Maj. E. B. Bassett, who is in
charge of the troops in the western
division, is putting into execution
the orders of Adjt. Gen. Johnston
for the withdrawal Of the larger
part Of the soldiers.
The detachment of the Pineville
company, stationed at Hickman and
Cadiz, broke camp yesterday and
will come to Hopkinsville. They
will deposit their equipment here
and then leave for their homes. The
various detachments at Princeton,
Dawson, Gracey, Cobb, Star Lime
Works and elsewhere will also be re-
lieved Of duty at once, and on next
Monday there will be no camps of
soldiers in Western Kentucky, ex-
cept at Murray, and Eddyville,
where the officials still regard con.
ditions as critical.
The Golden Pond detachment
J was ordered home Wednesday, but
the order was countermanded al
Cadiz and they were ordered back
! to Golden Pond.
The soldiers here will probably
be the last withdrawn, but it is &
matter of but few days until al
| will be called in.

The soldiers have been taken from
