connected with this anniversary that
are very seldom found, and these were,
that Judge and Mrs. Rhorer have six

all married, and ten grandchildren,
and that all the children and grand
children are living and all of them
were present at the anniversary, as
was also Mrs. Durham, of Louisville,

Ralph Garnett, son Of Mr.. H. B.
Garnett, made two attempts to get
into the navy last week. In leaving
home he overlooked the necessity OF
taking a certificate of his age, and he
could not convince the Board at
Louisville that he was eighteen years
old, and failing in this he went to
Lexington where he met with the
same result. He returned home and
will probably make another effort in a
few weeks.
