DR. Hoch and his bride were at the
Continental Hotel this morning. but
stated that they expected to leave the
city later in the day. Both were very
angry at the account of their marriage
published this morning, and said that II
would do them great harm in Atlantic
City, where both have pupils under them.
DR.. Hoch denied the published story
of the marriage in all its details, and
pointed out specifically many points
which he said were absurd and false
He said that Ion his word OF honor as
gentleman the marriage was not per-
formed at Boulder Dr1uSe, III Roch STeeh
Park, as stated
Blames the Newspapers.
The newspapers in Atlantic CITY are
to blame for this said DR.. Hoch. We
came here in May, and at that time they
tried to make out that we were married.
The only thing true about this ride
through Rock Creek Park is that after
ha ving supper we did take a ride"
He refused, however, to say just when
and where the ceremony was per-
formed. saying that was not the pub
lies business.
Rev Macleod. who was stated to have
stood up in an automobile and mar
ried the couple. also denied the truth
of the story, but referred all questions
to Theodore Sloat. proprietor of the
cafe at the Congressional apartments,
who was said to have been best man
and master of ceremonies.
Mr.. Sloat stated this morning that he
was so wrought up over the story that
that the published story was untrue.
but refused to say what really hap
pened.
"All 1 can say is that the couple were
married yesterday said Mr.. Sloat.

Hoch and Miss Childrey was issued
here Saturday, according to the rec
ords.

The Dixie Minstrels

The hit" of the season was the

and heard at the Opera House
Wednesday and repeated by re-
quest on Thursday evening.
With an all-star-cast and such
soloists as Keller, Nelson, Bax-

notable entertainment for Rich
mOnd opera goerS.
Indeed the stage sitting, cos
tunes and acting generally would
have done credit to Al G. Fields
and his knights of color. Mr..
George presided most gracefully
as middle man" while Messrs.
Green and Nelson distinguished
themselves as end men by their
ready wit and laughable antics.
Mr.. VIM. Elder was one of the
starriest stars" his dancing and
singing being characterized by
the ease of an old stager, in fact
the entire performance was par
excellence and Richmond is to be
congratulated on having such a
number of talented young men.
The entertainment closed with
three excellent pictures making
an evening of pure enjoyment.

HOME ENTERPRISES
The ]. w. Earring Grain &
Mill Co.

The citizens of almost every
town, and of the County also do
not generally give proper en-
couragement and praise to the
commercial enterprises, located in
their town. Right here in Rich
mond is an enterprise the magni-
tude of which probably half of
the citizens of the town and coun-
ty are not aware.
We refer to the ]. w. Earring
Grain & Mill Co., one of the big
gest and strongest commercial
enterprises in the cou nty. The
daily output of this company is
two hundred and fifty barrels of
-four a day, besides hundreds of
bushels of meal. The product of
this mill is classed as AL, and is
shipped to hundreds of points in
Kentucky, most of it however,
going to the eastern section of the
state. Within the last few days
they received orders for seven
carloads of flour, meal and ship
stuff from as many firms.
The company employs about
twenty men, operating a day and
night shift. The men employed
get paid every Saturday evening
and most of the money is spent
with home merchants. Thus yol
see that business is largely, Of
should be, cooperative, therefore
it is the duty of each citizen t.
lend encouragement to every en-
terprise tending to- upbuild the
town newspapers included.
