Plans On Foot To Give Stanford

Notwithstanding the fact that the
local X. P lodge will not hold fair
under its auspices next year, quite a
number of the members of the lodge,
in their individual capacity, are bus

Kept Secret Well
Miss Anna Warren and George Kiser
Married Last December

The theory advanced that womer
! can not keep secrets has been explod
ed in Stanford one time at least. Or
December "a, 1915, at the home OF
Rev. P. L. Bruce, on East Mair
street, Miss Anna Warren and George
KiSer, were married by that
gentleman. Those who witnessed the
ceremony were Mrs. Walter Warren
mother of the bride, and Misses Ella
and Mae Warren, sisters of the bride
The father "Judge" Walter Warren,
and the rest of the family were not
let into the secret, nor did they know
a thing about it until a few days
since. The bride remained in Stan
ford and conducted her millinery
business with her sisters and the
groom returned to Winchester and
continued his work as head reporter
on the Daily Sun.
The "wise Ones" and they are
found in Stanford, as well as else
where, suspected nothing. At inter-
walls of month or six weeks Mr..
Kiser visited his wife here and the
fact the he was such an attentive
beau might have had the tendency to
prevent any suspicion that the two
hearts had already been made one.
Last spring Mr.. Kiser spent a week
in the Warren home but the gossipers
passed it up with the assertion that
Mr.. Kiser was trying mighty hard to
win Miss Warren. 1t has been a well
kept secret but the fact that their
friends were kept unawares will not
lessen the congratulations and good
wishes that will be given Mr.. and
Mrs. Kiser, who will spend a day or
so here and then go to Winchester
and make that their home.
Mrs. Kiser is a charming young
woman, very popular, and her leav-
ing Stanford is the occasion of sincere
regret. She is as pretty of character
as she is of face and figure and has
won her way into the hearts of the
people of her home town, who join in
cOngratulating the man who has won
her heart and hand. She is the third
daughter of "Judge and Mrs. Walter
Warren and with her sisters has sue
cessfully conducted a millinery store
here for some time. Mr.. Kiser is
fine fellow; ranks high as a news
paper man and is one of the indi-
SpeHSdDleS Ol the w lncNSSCer GUN.
He began his newspaper career at
Paris, but has been with the Sun for
several years. He is an excellent re-
porter, an easy writer and an excep-
tionally good all-around newspaper
man.
The happy pair starts life together
under most propitious circumstances
and that they may love each other
more and more as they know each
other better and that all of the good
things of life may come to them, is
the wish of their legion of friends
''back home" in Stanford.

Paid Off $4,000
When New Baptist Church At Camp
bellsville Is Dedicated

One of the handsomest church
homes in any country town in Ken
lucky was formally dedicated at
Campbellsville, Taylor county Sun
day by the Baptist congregation, of
which Rev. l.. G.. Kelly, who married
Miss Nan Newland, daughter, of Mr..
and Mrs. 7. d. Newland, of this city,
is the pastor. The building is very
handsome and commodious brick
structure and its cost as about $780,
900. There was a $4,000 debt on the
edifice when the dedicatory day roll
ed around, but so intense is the en-
thusiasm and liberality of he members
that this enormous sum was raised
Sunday,
Rev. Kelly has only been pastor of
the Baptist church at Campbellsville
for three or four years, but he has
done big things during his short stay
here. He inaugurated the movement
for new church building and has
done great work with the member
ship and along other lines.
The new church building was for
mally dedicated by Rev. j. w. Por-
ter, of Lexington, who preached the
dedicatory sermon. Thousands of peo-
pie gathered for the occasion, and
dinner was served to some 1900 peo-
pie. The new church is admirably
equipped for this or any other such
special work. 1t is built in massive
modern style of brick In addition to
its regular auditorium, it has 21
Sunday school rooms, kitchen, ban
quet hall, ladies' parlor, pastors
study equipped with telephone, and
all conveniences. That a town of 3d.
500 or 1000 people should be able
to build and support such a church,
is a wonder, indeed, and shows that
they must have the right sort of re-
ligion down in Taylor county.
Several auto loads of Lincoln
county people attended the dedica-
ton among them Mr.. and Mrs. T. ID.
Newland, Howard Newland, Miss
Jennie Newland, Mr.. and Mrs. r. NJ.
Newland and family, DIR. W. w.
Burgin, his sister-in-law, Mrs. l.. S.
Elder and three of his children.

Smash Nicholasville
Local Foot Ball Boys Defeat Visitors
So to o Here Saturday

In about another year the STAN
ford High School football team will
begin to approach the proportions of
the famous eleven of few years
ago which swept all opposition before
it; the eleven upon which the Cole
man boys, Wesley Embrys Mike Pen
ny, and others of that day were
stars. The team of youngsters which
has been developing for the past few
years showed that they have the
right ideas and the right stuff in
them, when on Saturday afternoon
they walloped the boys from the
Threlkeld High School of Nicholas
vile by score of 81 to 0.
Coach Todd had his youngsters
playing fast football all during the
the game and at no time were the
visitors able to penetrate their de-
tense. Exceptionally good work, of
course was done by Joe 7. Embry,
and Bryan Perkins, who are the
bright particular stars of the team
always. Others who did especially
fine work were Maurice Tucker,
Stith Noe, Henly and John Cash,
Club" Martin at center. Sam and
"Slim Hill. Morgan Baughman, play
ing his first full game on the "big
line" showed he has the right stuff
in him and did nice work. The visitors
fought hard but were outclassed
from start to finish and the scoring
of Stanford was almost a procession
after the local machine got to work
ing right.
A feature of the afternoon was
One-rOund fist fipht between Coach
Bowen and a youngster named lyle
hart, both Of Nicholasville. The
official put Inglehart
out of the game and the latter jump
ed him about it after the game. The
quickly came to plows, and
the youngster was giving the coach
all he could handle when the added
attraction was stopped by spectators.

Soldier Predicts War
In Short Time If Hughes Is Elected
President

Private Coleman Lutes, of Uncle
Sans army, stationed at Fort Nc.
Kinley, Maine, writes to his father
John Lutes here that in the event OF
the election of Hughes to the presi.
dency next Tuesday, you may expect
to see this country soon embroiled in
war. Lutes is in the army and knows
whereof he speaks when he says that
"war is hell" and he urges everyone
who does not want to see such des-
perate chance taken, to go to the
polls and vote for Wilson, who has so
far kept this country out of war
when all the rest of the world is
aflame with fire. A letter from young
Lutes' commanding officer to his
father here says that the Stanford
boy, is making fine record in the
service. He has just been promoted
to First Private. His term of enlist
ment will soon be up and a splendid
position has been offered him if he
wishes to accept it and not go back
to the army. In writing to his father,
young Lutes said:
Fort Mckinley, Maine, Co., C. A. C..
Dear Father
| just got your letter and l am
always glad to hear from home. 1t
has just turned cold here now. Well.
| guess old Kentucky will go Demo-
cratic, at least l hope so. If all of the
soldiers had vote, Wilson would be
elected. He has kept us out of war,
and l know he has. The way Hughes
talks, he wants war. / think Wilson
will get lot of votes in Maine. A
man is fool not to vote for Wilson.
Well, if Hughes is elected, look out,
we will have war. Just wait and see.
He will plunge this country into war
at once and the people are seeing it
too. l never did vote the Republican
ticket and l never expect to. but if
Wilson was a Republican, 1 think I
would vote for him and l think 1
would be doing my duty, for war is
hell, and know the people who vote
for Hughes don't know that in a few
days or few months their boys may
be sent to war. Hughes is worse than
Roosevelt. Let the people vote for
Hughes, if they want their sons to go
to war. They can be made to go, and
a man that is trained is worth a half
dozen not trained.
1t takes two years to make a SOL
der and man in the army has got
to do just as they say. 1t is a pity
did not come to the army when 1 was
18 years old. They sure do make
man out of you. Everything has got
to be done one way in the army, and
you have to do it, or die sure. If
man is man he can get along all
right, any place. l have served two
years and one month. The last con-
gress passed law, any man with one
years service can go on the army re-
serve, if he is an excellent soldier.
The President can call you back in
case of war. | will get $24 year, for
i've years. There are just three men
getting out of my company A man
has got to be superior drilled in ev-
cry respect, and an excellent char
acter, so my captain said l was one
Of the three. will have an honorable
discharge, which is more than lots of
hem can say. Well, l don't know,
papa, where l will go or 1 don't know
what | will do when / get out, but l |
am going to settle down and try to |
make man out of myself. Love to |
all.

Little Susan Fisher Woods, the

Gus. AS it was, the front of the lit
tie ones dress was badly burned, and
she was scorched in several places.
1t was a narrow escape.

A Beautiful Wedding
Miss Nancy Walker Becomes Bride of
w. B. Burton at Lancaster

One of the prettiest weddings, ever
seen in Lancaster, occurred at the
Presbyterian church at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening, when the marri-
age of William B. Burton and Miss
Nancy Walker, was solemnized. The
church was most deliberately deco
rated in ferns, southern smilax and
white lilies and chrysanthemums, the
white and green decorations being
tastefully and artistically used. The
entire chancel was concealed by a
screen of white lilies and smilax, in
the center of which, and on either
side upon white standards, were bas-
kets of white chrysanthemums, the
handles of which were tied with
green tulle.
For some time before the cere-
mony, a musical program was rem
dered by the musical faculty of the
Woman's College, of Danville, con-
sisting of a pianist, violinist and So
loist. The musicians were completely
hidden behind the decorations, which
extended across the church, and the
low, sweet strains of the piano and
violin during the ceremony made it
more impressive. The bridal party
entered the church to the strains of
the wedding march. The bridesmaids
slowly proceeded one by one up the
right aisle and the groomsmen, OPP
pOsite, up the left, crossing at the
altar forming a semi-circle. Messrs.
John Gill Kinraird, Clay Kaufman,
and Horace Walker were the grooms-
men, and the bridesmaids were Miss
es Martha and Edna Kavanaugh, of
Lancaster and Miss Annie May Wal
ker, of Richmond. The bridesmaids
dresses were white net and lace in
flounces, upon which were rows of
narrow green ribbon. They wore caps
and wells of tulle, and carried white
chrysanthemums tied with green
tulle.
The maid of honor, Miss Minnie
May Robinson, wore an empire gown
of light green messaline ruffled to
the waist, and carried pink roses.
Little Lucy Bates Denny, the flower
girl, carried basket of roses. Fol-
lowing her, came the bride, wearing
a superb gown of Duchess satin
V-neck and long sleeves, with court
train extending from the shoulders.
L1SI fSu was CduSHI lllIO d Cap Will
coronet of orange blossoms, and
she carried a large boquet of brides
roses and lilies of the valley. 1t was
conceded by all, that more beautiful
bride was rarely seen.
The groom upon the arm of the
best man, Or. Pontius, of State Col
lege, Lexington, met her at the altar,
where beautiful ceremony was pro-
nounced by Rev. Hugh Hudson, the
Presbyterian minister, the ring being
used to plight their troth.
Immediately after the ceremony
they repaired to the home of the
brides brother. Judge Lewis Wal
ker, where the bridal dress was
changed for travelling suit of brown
broadcloth with hat and furs to
match and the bridal party left in
autoes for Danville to take the train
for North Carolina, where they will
spend their honeymoon.
The bride is one of Lancaster's |
most charming and loved young wom-
en-, being as beautiful of character |
as she is of face and figure. The !
groom is a worthy young man of |
fine business qualities and is very |
popular both in social and business |
circles
