BIG CROWD
FOR PARADE
Streets Crowded to Witness Big
Parade That Opens Third
Liberty Loan Drive

Saturday afternoon having been
declared half holiday owing to
the beginning of the big drive for
the Third Liberty Loan the streets
of the city were crowded with peo-
pie anxious to see the big parade
and to hear Mr.. John G. VIM, of
this city, and Mr.. William Rogers
Clay, of Frankfort, explain the de-
tails why, how and when to pur-
chase Liberty Loan Bonds and
these gentlemen did so in a most
convincing manner. 1t was without
doubt the biggest parade of any
kind ever seen in this city and the
people who planned it and those who
took part in it especially the chill
dren deserve great deal of credit.
We urge our people to save every
way possible and to buy Liberty
Loan Bonds. Isn't it better to loan
your money to Uncle Sam and to
help win the war than to be forced
to give up everything to the German
monster if we lose?
Be loyal and do all you can

MISS FROST LEAVES

Miss Margaret Frost, the popular
community nurse of this city, who
enlisted in the DR.. Barrow Unit
several months ago, was called for
duty last Friday and left here Sat
urday night in company with eight
other nurses for Camp Dix, near
Trenton, n. J. During her brief
stay in our community Miss Frost
has endeared herself to the people
of this county who with reluc-
lance give her up. Her work has
been most satisfactory and as a
token of the esteem in which she
was held by local admirers a purse
of 800 was raised and presented to
her. 1t is indeed a noble work in
which this young lady has enlisted
and we want her to feel that she
has the hearty cooperation and
best wishes of this entire communi-
ty in her grand and noble calling.
Her successor in this city has not
yet been chosen but probably will
be in the next few days.

ARE MARRIED
In LONDON
Brave Kentucky Girl Crosses Hun
Infested Ocean to Marry Man
of Her Choice

Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Wiseman, of
Danville, KY, have announced the
marriage of their daughter, Miss
Abilene Elizabeth, to Mr.. Lloyd l..
Frazer, of this city, but who is at
present stationed at London, Eng
land. The ceremony was performed
Sunday afternoon, March 30th, at
the residence Of Mr.. Theodore Stew
ems, cousin of the bride, according
to a cable received from the happy
couple. The courtship started a
number of years ago when Mr..
Frazer was attending Centre Col
lege at Danville, and although later
he attended Cornell, he still kept in
close touch with his Kentucky
sweetheart. After graduating from
Cornell he accepted a position with
the Standard Oil Company at Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa, but re-
signed his position to take a posi-
ton with the English Government
and when the United States enter.
ed the war he asked to be relieved
from his duties in order to Join the
colors of his country but was per-
suaded to stay with the British
government and now has a very re-
sponsible position as the purchaser
of steel to be used in the construc-
ton of parts of aeroplanes. His
position requires great technical
knowledge but Mr. Frazer has al
ways measured up to the high
standard required. AS his work will
no doubt keep him from the States
for number of years the young
people finally decided that as he
could not come to her she would go
to him and with the calm, determi-
nation to face danger and possibly
death in the attempt to join her
lover this brave Kentucky girl bid
farewell to parents and home and
through the providence of an all
wise God she was permitted to
make the journey in safety and we
are sure that every one that reads
of the brave deed of this girl
will send prayer TO heaven that
she and her husband will live
through the terrors of war and will
return to those they love in old
Kentucky.
The bride is a beautiful, refined
girl with those attributes of charac-
ter that have made her a favorite
with all her acquaintance. The
groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
John S. Frazer, of this city. The
writer has known him since he was
a little boy and more manly, hon
Orable gentleman he has never
known. The Advocate is proud of
the opportunity to congratulate the
happy couple and we feel sure that
they have the best wishes of every
one.

ance could be raised. BY noon
thirty tout Of thirty three asked)

property was bought. 1t required
5000 additional to pay for it.
Eleven other men were asked. Nine
responded. SO that, upon the day
of the sale, the money was all
pledged. Since then FIVE others have
joined the $4,000 club. Mt. Sterling
and Montgomery county can be
proud of their citizens. Those APP

The hospital will be named for
the beloved mother of Mr.. Chiles,

Immediate steps will be taken to
equip the building with an operating

necessary to an up-to-date hospital
plant. The cost will be several
thousand dollars. When the amount
is ascertained, the public will be
asked to give it; and the generous
people of our county are certain to
do it. The request for the purchase
money was met by a sympathetic
readiness, warmth, and quick gen.
crosby, such as to strengthen faith
in mankind, and in the breadth of
human charity.
The rooms need to be furnished
and supplied with linens. Mrs. Rob
ert c. Gatewood will equip a room
in memory of her mother. What in
dividual, church, church society, or

cause a number of inquiries have
been made along this line. The ply
