Wedding Anniversary

On Tuesday of this week the happy
celebration of an unusual event took
place in Louisa. 1t was the occasion
of the fiftieth anniversary of the mar
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. William Carey.
The sons and daughters arranged the
celebration without the knowledge of
their parents and it came to them as
a most enjoyable surprise. A mag
nificent turkey dinner served at the
home of the venerable couple was one
Of the features of the celebration, and
the following composed the gathering
who sat at the table with the guests of
honor: Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Johnson
jenkins; Lys Carey, Kavanaugh; Mr.,
and Mrs. G. w. Mcdonald, Oklahoma;
NJ F. Carey and Mrs. G. B. Roberts
and children, of Lexington; Mr.. and
Mrs. d. j. Burchett, Jr., and son, and
Mr. and Mrs. ]. l.. Carey and daugh-
ter, of Louisa; Mrs. George Parsons
and son of Ashland.
| 1t was hoped that all the eleven sons
and daughters and their children would
| find it possible to attend, but the fol-
lowing were detained: George B. and c..
j. Carey. of Lexington; Chas. w. Ca
rey, Wilbur: Mrs. Chas. Johnston, in
hospital at Ironton.
Handsomely engraved announce
ments, done in gold letters, were mailed
to friends and relatives at the con-
clusion of the event.
IL was on April 8. 1867, that William
Carey and Miss Emily Burgess Joined
hearts and hands for the journey of
life. Eleven children came to bless
their home and it is a remarkable fact
that all are living The parents are in
good health and bid fair to have many
more years of happy, peaceful exis-
tence. Not many couples are privileged
to enjoy fifty years of wedlock and
fewer yet of these are fortunate enough
to rear large family without the sad
experience of death crossing the thresh
old These good people are receiving
the congratulations and best wishes
of friends and relatives.

Hatfield Girl Gets $4,000

Huntington, March 30.-Miss Hazel
Hatfield, daughter of former Cover
nor and Mrs. H. d, Hatfield, of Hunt
ington. has been bequeathed a consid-
erable sum of money by her former
college chum, Miss Ethel Stanton, who
was one of the principals in sensa-
tional suicide pact enacted in Ports
mouth, N. H.
1t is understood, according to re-
ports from Cincinnati, o., that the
legacy which goes to Miss Hatfield IS
$4,000.
Miss Hatfield and her mother are
now in Cincinnati in response to a
notice from Judge Charles H. Mails
bury, executor of Miss Stanton's will
to the effect that Miss Hatfield has
been mentioned in the will. Miss Hat
field was in school in Philadelphia,
Pa, when the notice from Judge Mails
bury was received.
Miss Hatfield and the Miss Stanton
became acquainted while they were at
school together in Philadelphia, and
later they attended Bryn Mawr. Miss
Stanton, who was quite wealthy, vis-
tied not infrequently at the mansion of
Governor and Mrs. Hatfield in Char
lesion. They were accustomed to
spending Christmas at the Governors
mansion and Miss Stanton was quite
we'll known at the state capitol.
There is quite an interesting story
which leads up to the suicide pact in
which Miss Stanton was one of the
principals Miss Stanton is the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. 4. Stanton, her

in England, where Miss Stanton won
Ia victory receiving a. large sum Of
money. Judge Malsbury, Of Cincih-
matt, was Miss Stantons counsel, and
lin Miss Stanton's will Judge Malsbury
is also understood to be mentioned for
a legacy of $4,000. This legacy Is sail
to be in recognition of Judge Mails
bury's services as an attorney in a hard
fought legal case.
Miss Stanton for about year prior
TO her death, was attending school in
Massachusetts. She became acqnaint-
ed with Miss Peggy Spaulding. of New
ton, Mass, and they became fast
friends Relatives of Miss Spaulding,
according to reports received here,
sought to break up the friendship of
Miss Spaulding and Miss Stanton, ard
both girls Became despondent. They
went to a restaurant in Portsmouth
and after eating a hearty meal both
Miss Stanton and Miss Spaulding com
mitted suicide. Telegraphic reports Of
the affair We're to the effect that the
girls killed themselves through sui
eide pact. This was only week or SO
ago. For more than year prior to
that time Miss Hatfield had not seen
her former chum, Miss Stanton. Her
first intelligence Of her death was in
the newspapers, followed by the notice
from Judge Malsbury to the effect that
Miss Hatfield had been bequeathed a
sum Of money.
Along with the legacy to Miss Hat
field, Miss Stanton bequeathed $4,000
to another girl friend, Miss Margaret

were nowhere consulted by their ruler
and wars were provoked and waged in
the interest of dynasties or of little
groups OF ambitious men who were ac-
customed 10 use their fellow men as
pawns and tools.
Self governed nations do not fill their
neighbor states with spies or set the
course Of intrigue to bring abiut some
critical posture Of affairs which give
them an opportunity TO strike and
make conquest Such designs can be
successfully worked only under cover
and where no one has the right to ASK
questions.
II is a distressing and oppressive duty
gentlemen of the Congress-, which |
have performed In thus addressing you.
There are, II may be, many months Of
fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us. 1t
Is fearful thing to lead this great
peaceful thing into war, into the most
terrible and disastrous of all wars, CIV
ilization itself seeming to be in the
balance. But the right is more pre-
cious than peace. and we shall fight
for the things which we have always
carried nearest our heart-for democ-
racy, for the right of those who sub
init to authority to have voice in
their own Governments. for the rights
and liberties of small nations. for a
universal dominion CT rights by such
ia concert OF free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to all nations and
make the world itself at last free. To
such task we can dedicate our lives
and our fortunes, everything that we
are and everything that We have. with
the pride OF those who know that the
day has come when America is priv
ileged to spend her blood and her might
for the principles that gave her birth
and happiness and the peace which she
has treasured. God helping her, she
can do no other.

A Good Roads Organization

The good roads meeting held Tues
day of this week at the court house
was attended by number of citizens
from various parts of the county who
are really Interested in this great prob
lem. The State official failed to appear,
and no word was received from the de-
partment as to why he did not come.
Mr.. Wiley wrote several days ago that
he had found he could not be here, as
previously agreed, but that he would
send man.
The meeting was organized by elect
ing Judge j. B. Clayton temporary
chairman and Fred NJ Vinson secre-
tary A permanent organization was
effected by electing Augustus Snyder
president and F. NJ, Vinson secretary.
Mr.. J. +. Hatten presented plan for
an organization reaching to each vot-
ing precinct. This was amended by
making the eight magisterial districts
the units to work directly with the
president and secretary. Then each
magisterial district may organize by
precincts IL it so desire.
A committee consisting of j. H. Nc
Clure. S. H. Burton, +. NJ. Vinson and
r. G. Mcclure was appointed to draft
the bylaws or organization plan along
tho lines agreed upon.
The object of the organization is to
get everybody to help on the roads in
a systematic way and to develop a
greater public spirit in the work. Thru
organized effort there should come a
general disposition to help on roads.
If each citizen knew that every other
citizen was ready to do something for
the roads gratuitously he would gladly
do his part II everybody would fall
into line we could have good dirt roads
with comparatively slight effort. Stop
ping mudholes when they start and
keeping bitches open constitutes the
chief work to be performed. The coun-
ty officials can do the rest
1t is intended to work in conjunction
with the county officials. Great good
will result If the proper community
spirit is shown.
