to learn that he is again to resume
business in Millersburg.
The funeral of Miss Betty F.
Vimont, who died suddenly at her
home on Main street Monday about
4:30 p. M, was conducted Wednes-
day at $50 p. M, from her late res
idence, by her pastor, Elder C.. O..
Cossaboom, of the Christian church.
The remains were placed in the vault
Of the Millersburg Cemetery until
the weather moderates. Notwith-
standing the intense cold weather,
a large number of friends and rela-
tives were present at the services
and followed the remains to the
vault.
The recent cold weather came
on us as surprise. Many of our
people were much surprised Satur-
day morning when they found the
earth shrouded in snow. However,
this was but the beginning of the
surprise which followed Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. Water pipes
bursted everywhere, potatoes and
other vegetables froze in cellars

before. The heating plant at M. M.
i. was put out of commission, and
stoves were hastily put up, until
the breaks could be repaired Many
hands and feet were frostbitten,
some rather badly frozen. However,
Providence had favored us in some
respects, as in the midst of all this
suffering the Millersburg coal deal
ers received two cars of coal, which
did much to relieve the situation.
The many friends of Lieut.. J.
w. Miller were surprised last Satur-
day when it became generally
known that he had gone to LeXing-
ton, to be united in marriage to Miss
Frances Oney. Mr.. Miller is one of
our most prosperous young farmers,
son of Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, near
town. When the call for volunteers
came he was among the first. About
three months ago he went to Fort
Benjamin Harrison, at Indianapo-
lis, where he distinguished himself
for his promptness of duty in every
thing imposed on him. Some weeks
ago he was made Second Lieutenant
and was assigned to Fort Riley,
Kansas However,, before going
there, he was granted a few weeks
furlough. On his return the we'd
ding was arranged, taking place at

the time mentioned. Miss Oney is
an attractive and accomplished
young lady. a daughter of Presiding
Elder Oney, of the Maysville Dis
trict, and sister of Mrs. Chas
Martin, of Millersburg, and a grad
uate of the M. F. G.. No definite
ranged by ting happy young couple,
since Lieut.. Miller is in the United
States service.
After several years of courtship,
in which both have proven loyal to
the other, Miss Matte Christine
Butler became the bride of Mr.
Priest Kemper, of Hopkinsville, the
wedding taking place Monday at
1870 p. m. at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
A. Butler. For a number Of years
Mr.. Kemper resided in and around
Millersburg. Some years ago he and
Miss Butler became sweethearts,
and while they had to some extent
drifted apart, yet their love has al
ways been loyal to each other. Mr..
Kemper is at present employed with
a road company at Hopkinsville.
Some weeks ago the announcement
of the engagement of this happy
couple was given out. The time,
however, was not definitely arrang-
ed until after Mr.. Kemper's arrival
in Millersburg last week. A part of
the early life of Mr.. Kemper was
spent in and around Millersburg.
He is a graduate of the M. M. l., and
for a time taught in the school. A
few years ago he moved to Alabama,
where he remained until recently,
when he secured the position which
he now holds. Miss Butler is the
oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Butler, an accomplished young
lady, a graduate of the M. F. c.,
and a granddaughter of Mrs. Amer
lea Butler, the first graduate of the
M. F. c. She is devout member Of
the Presbyterian church, a brilliant
pianist, and young lady Of many
rare attractions. The ceremony was
solemnized at the time named by her
pastor, Rev. A. S. Venable, of the
Presbyterian church. Both families
are prominent, with large circle Of
friends in this and other States,
who extend showers of congratu1a-
lions.

DRAFTED MEN FOR SIGNAL

The University of Kentucky has
been requested by the War Depart
ment to consider the matter of
training a quota of the enrolled
draft of the State for service in the
Signal Corps of the National Army
and the interest of the citizens sub
ject to the next call is especially In
vited to this proposed course.
The Signal Corps requires the SER
vices of thousands of trained men.
It is important that they be capa-
BILE telegraphers. Men who attain
proficiency as telegrapers and other
wise qualify for service in this
branch of the army are certain of
rapid promotion as the number of
officers and nopcommissioned officers
is large in proportion to the total.
High class men are desired be-
cause the work is confidential and
largely dependent upon individual
effort. This service IS responsible
for the transmission of information
and is a most important factor in
successful movements in the field.
The intention of the course is to
train citizens of the State who are
enrolled for the draft for higher po-
sitions than they will attain with
out such efforts and also to furnish
it's fair share of the large number
required in this branch of the SER
vice. Upon receiving a certificate
of proficiency he is entitled when
duly called to enrolment in the
Signal Corps and to assignment to
that branch of the service.
Classroom work in military
French will be offered, every effort
will be made to maintain high
standard of instruction. Apt stu
dents will not be held back by the
inability of others. Enrolment
will not affect the regular operation
of the draft. Certificates of pro-
ficiency insure placement In the
Signal Corps.
For further information, write to
Captain H. N. ROyden, Command
ant, University of Kentucky, Lex
ington, who is charged with the di-
rection of the class.

u. S. TO REFUND MILLIONS
FROM CUSTOMS DUTIES
Importers to Get Rebates on Goods
From Countries Whose Money
Has Deprecated

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.--Millions OF
dollars paid in customs duties by Amer
lean importers will be refunded, the
Treasury Department announced TINS
afternoon.
Because of tho depreciation in the
value of German, Austrian, Italian and
French currency a refund proportionate
to the depreciation will be given on all
goods imported from those countries
since the depreciation passed 10 per
cent.
The refund date on German importa-
tions will be September 10, 1915. Aus
trian currency depreciation passed 10
per cent in January. 1915, and Italian
In February. 1915. The depreciation In
French currency has been marked only
during the last few weeks.
The principal refunds will be made
on goods imported from France and
Italy. There has been little buying OF
, German or Austrian goods by American
importers since the beginning of the
war.
Whenever the depreciation In tho cur
rcncy Of any country is more than 10
per cent the same principle will be ap-
piled to imports from that country. the
Treasury Department announced.
