Pioneer Women To Meet.

Baker-old-time residents of East
ern Oregon plan an organization. Al
a meeting held at the home of Mrs. M.
F. Harper it was decided to ascertain
the possibilities of having pioneer
society and to include the gathering OF
historical data of this part Of the coon-
try. Mrs. Harper has been in this vi
cinity 40 years, and has had several
gatherings of the pioneer women with
such success that the organization
seems assured. If Baker old settlers
take kindly to the plan, other cities
will be asked to cooperate.

improve a bee line route through
Terre Haute. Vincennes, Evansville
and Henderson on through Kentucky

Mayor Bosse was made president
of the meeting. He was authorized
to call meeting to organize Van

gether in Evansville representatives
of all the counties traversed. Ev-

The proposed roadway would trav-

This week in Vanderburg and Knox

be asked to join the counties which
have taken the initiative in the for

Each county will be asked to inn

At the meeting last night facts

London. June 1.-The suggestion
has been made in the. Evening Stand.
ard by Fred T. Jane. the naval au-
thor, that the steamer Princess Irene
was blown up by German wi'e ess
device. The Princess Irene. an aux
Hilary in the British navy, was blown
up last week in Sheerness hsrbor,
with a loss of o yer 300 lives.
The sudden and complete destruc-
ton of the Princess Irene in the Med
way" Mr.. Jane writes, lat no great
distance from where the bsttloship
Bulwark also was suddenly blown to
atoms may be a curious coincidence.
Italian experiments have proved it
possible to explode a properly attun-
ed charge by wireless from a short
distance. IL that charge be surrep-
titiously placed in a magazine every
thing ia the magazine will go the
same way. One spontaneous explo
sion is thinksble enough, but two in
the same district demand too much

MARRIED
A MONTH
DR.. Andrew Sargent Springs a
Surprise On His
Friends.

DR.. Andrew Sargent sprang sur
prise on his friends Tuesday evening
by appearing at the Elks Home on
the arrival Of the 6.45 train with a
bride. 1t was the first intimation
that he had been married since May
18th.
The story makes quite a pretty
little romance. Six years ago while
Or. Sargent was travelling in Scot
land he met Miss Isabelle Dora
King, of New York. They were
impressed with each other and there
was an exchange of greetings be-
tween them from time to time in
the years that followed. Last Jan
uary DR.. Sargent sent a New Years
card to Miss King that elected a re-
ply and a correspondence resulted
that grew in interest until it very
naturally led up to the subject of
matrimony. A few months later
DR.. Sargent obtained Miss Kings
promise to become his wife on June
10th. Last April he suddenly dis
covered that urgent business called
him to New York and he spent three
weeks in'the east. 1t was while
there that he became an impatient
lover and the result of his pleadings
was that the marriage took place in
the city hall at New York on May
5th. the officiating clergyman being
Rev. Madison C. Peters, of the
Presbyterian church. of which the
bride is member.
Mrs. Sargent is lady of impos-
ing presence, extensive travel and
varied accomplishments. She is a
talented musician and possesses a
a mind richly stored with a wide
range of literary culture.
Announcement cards have been
sent out by Mr.. Walter j. King, the
brides brother, and for the present
DIR. and Mrs. Sargent will reside in
the Fankel Flats.
II was intended that Mrs. Sargent
would come to Kentucky September
l, but that proved to be too long
time to keep the secret and so it was
arranged for her to come three
months earlier. DR.. Sargent met
her at Princeton, taking none of his
friends into his confidence until they
stepped off the train.

A STRAWBERRY
ASSOCIATION FOR
CHRISTIAN COUNTY

Hopkinsvi lie and Christian county
have come prominently into the
IimeIight within the last two years
as the most progressive community
in the State. When they go after
anything they get it, and they are
much given to go after things. This
is partly because We are naturally a
progressive people and partly be-
cause of the close cooperative spirit
that actuates the people of the coun-
ty and the town in whatever they
undertake.
AS witness the Good Roads move
ment with the large resultant num-
Der of King Drags in use. The Fox
Bros, big creamery and the biggest
County Fair in the State and the sec
ond largest of all. These are a few
of our very recent achievements.
In view of all which, it is matter
of astonishmeDt that " e have not yet
organized a Strawberry Growers
Association. Everything is for one
and nothing against it. We grow
finer strawberries here than any
where else in the world.
At luncheon | attended the other
day, they served the strawberries
with the caps on in large dinner
plates, full plates too, and there was
not a berry on that table less than
four and be inches in circumfer-
ence. Manv of them were much
larger. All raised right here. Could
not have been grown that big any
where else in fac.
Christian county could raise and
export, without much additional out.
