Cemetery

The play given Friday evening
by the Eight Week Club of Camarge

S. 0. WOOD WEEDS
MISS GREENE
Former Local Editor WEEDS Lovely
Cincinnati Girl at Jeffer-
sOnvilIe, Ind

The announcement of the marriage
of Mr.. Stanley o. Wood to Miss
May Louise Greene, of Cincinnati,
which took place at Jeffersonville,
Ind, on last Tuesday, came as a
surprise to friends and relatives of
the contracting parties in this city.
The bride is the only daughter Of
the late Col. Thomas Greene, Of Gin
cinnati, and a niece of the late w.
B. Greene, of this city, and Mrs.
Maggie Grail and Mrs. Mclaughlin,
Of the county. She has frequently
visited in this city and it was while
on one of these visits to relatives
here that she met the man of her
choice. She is a lovely young girl,
strikingly attractive and gifted with
many rare charms which are essen
tial in the making of happy home.
The groom is a son of Mrs. John
C. Wood, formerly Of this city and
until a few months ago when he was
caught in the draft was editor of
our worthy contemporary, The Mt.
Sterling Gazette. He is young man
possessed with an exceptionally bril-.
liant mind and is gifted newspaper
man. Stanley Wood is an honorable,
upright young gentleman and dur
ing the years that he labored with
us in the Fourth Estate he was ever
ready to do his "bit." He is a big
hearted, jolly, generous fellow and
with his ready wit and humor has
become a close friend of all our
citizens. Many times before he was
drafted he had tried to enlist in
some branch of the service but was
each time rejected owing to a ply
steal defect caused by a recent ope-
ration, however we are glad to state
that he has recently been accepted
as an applicant to become an Off
Ger and will placed in an officers
training school within the next few
days.
The bride and groom arrived in
this city several days ago for brief
visit to relatives and friends and
while here have been, showered with
congratulations and best wishes.
The Advocate joins with Brother
Wood in his happiness and volun-
teers the wish that the war may
soon come to a successful close and
that he and his bride may become
citizens of our city and live a long
life of happiness and usefulness.

U-B0ATS OFF OUR SHORES

A German submarine Sunday at
tackled a tug and tow of barges just
off Cape Cod, sank three of the
barges, set fourth and the tug on
fire and bombarded the mainland.
The attack, which lasted an hour,
was interrupted only once, when air.
planes sent out from the coast
swooped around the submarine. 1t
submerged, expecting an attack, but
rose and continued Smelling the YES
sells. Several persons on board were
injured, one, an Austrian, severely.
A number of women and children
aboard escaped injury.
Germany has begun a campaign
of frightfulness against the United
States, Washington officials declar-
ed following the announcement of
the sinking of three barges off Cape
Cod The craft were given no warn
ing whatsoever and those on board
managed to escape chiefly through
the poor craftsmanship of the u
boat gunners. Heretofore subma-
rines on this side of the Atlantic
have allowed civilians on peaceful
vessels to man their lifeboats.

About that time his father, Dave

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS

Prof. Walter o. Hopper, super
intendent of the Mt. Sterling Public
Schools, left this city last Wednes-
day for a business trip to Chicago,
I'll. He was found Wednesday night
in the railroad yards at Indianapo-
lis, Ind, where he had apparently
fallen or had been thrown from a
passing train. He was in an uncon'
scious condition and unable for sew
eral hours to give any account Of
the accident. When found he was
clad in his pajamas. Relatives here
however, have received messages
stating that his condition has i'm
proved and that he will be brought
home this week.
Prof. Hopper has written home
that he talked to Mr.. E. E. Jones, Of
this city, for several hours and that
they separated to retire and that he
remembers undressing and getting
into his berth. 1t is reported that a
passenger on the train had been
robbed and that his berth was near
the one occupied by Prof. Hopper,
but we understand that nothing be-
longing to Prof. Hopper had been
taken. Prof. Hopper is widely known
throughout this section of the state
being an officer in the Presbyterian
Church, a prominent Elk and member
of the Masonic lodge. The news of
his strange accident caused consid-
cradle excitement for several hours,
and when the news was received that
his injuries while painful were not
serious, it was quite a relief to his
many friends.

old girl Lena B. bowed with grief
to whom the world is desolate and
dreary to look upon. Mrs. Wyatt

of Christian and died firm in the
hope of everlasting life. While we

ways of Providence, and often won

flowers from our homes we can look
forward to that day when we shall
be reunited over there where part
ings and sorrows are unknown.

EoR WAR GARDENERS.

Here are a few suggestions to war
gardeners.
Treat potatoes for scab before plant
ing.
Make a second sowing of peas, rad
ishes. spinach and lettuce as soon as
the first planting is out Of the ground
The first planting of peas should be
covered with about one inch of soil
Subsequent planting should be deeper.
If a heavy rain following planting
causes the ground to form a crust
over onion seed or small plants rake
II with a rake.
Carrots, beets and parsnips are slow
to come up.
A few breakfast radish seeds in the
row will mark it so it can be cultivat-
ed before the roots are up.
