Inspection at Wentworth.

The annual government inspec-
ton at Wentworth Military acad-
emy was completed yesterday,
Captain Simmons found it impos-
sible to remain over today and
so rushed things yesterday. He
passed up seeing anything Of
spectacular nature, such as bat
TALON parade and escort Of the
color, and confined his work to
the strictly practical particulars.
In the morning there was bat
talon review and inspection and
a partial inspection Of quarters
The detachments Of cavalry, en-
gineering and hospital corps drill,
ed in the early afternoon. Much
to the disappointment of a large
number Of spectators, who ex-
pected to see a parade, the IN
spector ordered the battalion to
the farm south of the depot to
execute advance guard work anC
attack. Guard duty was exhib-
tied in the evening.
Yesterday there was guard
mount and artillery drill. The
rain made Butts Manual impos-
sible. Captain Simmons left on
the Myrick train for Boonville.
It IS thought that the inspect
ion yesterday was the best in the
schools history, as there was
shown an unusual thoroughnes'
and attention to detail. The in
spector, of course, refraineC
from making any comment; but
he appeared to be satisfied OF
every point.

Davis-sellers.

A wedding of much interest to
Lexington. people occurred at Z
o'clock, Saturday evening, April
10th, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sandford Sellers, when their
daughter, Miss Marcia, became
the bride of Mr.. Tilton Davis, Jr.
This wedding was the expected
elimination of a happy romance,
but came as a surprise just at
this time. 1t had been planned
for the coming fall but an ex-
tended business trip of Mr.. Davis
caused the change.
The immediate families of the
bride and groom and a few of the
most intimate friends were pres
ent. The large home was at
tractively decorated with cut
greens and flowers. The mantel
and hearth of the music room
were by clever arrangement of
ferns, palms and candles, con
verted into an altar.
After the singing of three
songs, Sweetheart, ," II Love
You Truly" and Because" by
Miss Pauline Sellers, Mr.. Ovid
Sellers began the ever loved
Mendelssohn Wedding March.
Almost at once Mr.. Davis and
Miss Sellers took their places be-
fore the improvised altar and,
while many a heart chord was
vibrant with suppressed emotion,
made their marriage vows in re-
sponse to an impressive ceremony
by DR.. E. c. Gordon.
An hour of delightful infor-
mality followed, congratulation;
were offered, the presents ad-
mired and refreshments served
before the final good byes were
said.
Two of the towns most prom.

wedding. Both young people

Then, as the soft strains of
Schumann's Traumerei came
from the organ, Mr.. Briney unit

the Lords Prayer, and the bridal
party departed to the Mendel-

ED PATTERSON DEAD
Popular Young Man Passed
Away Sunday Evening.

away Ounudy 6Venlng.
Sunday night the community
heard the news it had been ex-
pecting for several days, but was
hoping against hope would not
come. Ed Patterson was dead.
Death came to him at seven
o'clock at his home, 1907 Frank
lin avenue.
Edward Lee Patterson was the
youngest son of Mrs. Maria Pat
terson of this city. He was born
April 10, 1886 and passed away
on his twenty-third birthday.
A month ago he contracted a
cold, which became so severe that
he was compelled to go to bed.
Typhoid fever soon developed and
there followed complications of
the most serious nature. He was
operated on last week. He stood
the ordeal with apparently no Ill
effect; but he gradually became
weaker and weaker until the end.
Mr.. Patterson received his edu-
cation in the public schools of
Lexington and eight years ago
entered the employ of Gratz
Brothers. He was an excellent
worker and a popular young man,
so that he soon became invaluable
to his employers. Indeed his
death causes them as much grief
as if he had been a near relative.
He was possessed of such excel
lent qualities that his circle of
friends was exceedingly wide
spread. Never has the city dis
played a keener solicitude in
watching the illness of one Of its
young men. The question,
"How is Box PattersonY" could
be heard at any time on the
street.
The bereaved mother, to whom
he was a great comfort and sup
port, and his brother, Hugh, have
the sincerest sympathy Of the
community.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at 2:3O O'Clock
from the Christian church. Rev.
R. B. Briney, assisted by Rev. R.
T. Mansfield, conducted the SER
vices.

with pearl trimmings, and car
ried boquets of pink Killarney
roses.
Next came the flower girls, lit
tie Miss Jeanette Asbury of
Higginsville and little Miss Mary

flowers down the right aisle.
They wore frocks of white lace
with bridal wells. After them
came the maid of honor, Miss

She wore a gown Of white chif-
fon cloth over messalaine, en-
train, with pearl and crystal
trimmings and carried a bouquet

The ring bearer, little Miss

a white lace frock then advanced
down the right aisle and took her
place at the side of the Rev. Mr.,
R. B. Briney, who had come from
behind the pulpit. She carried
the ring in a huge rose.
Finally the bride, on the arm
