HANLTON-CARY NUPT|ALS
First Baptist Church the Scene Of The
Marriage Of Miss Addie Belle Hardin
Gary to MIR. David H. Hamilton,
of Chicago
BRIDE IS A GIFTED VOCALIST

At the First Baptist Church Thurs
day evening, June &c, in ceremony
simple, yet beautiful, Miss Addie
Bell Gary and Mr.. David Hamilton
were united in marriage.
The spacious auditorium was filled
with the friends of the contracting
parties and the decorations were
elaborate and beautiful.
The decorations consisted Of the
greatest profusion Of evergreens,
palsms, smilax and ferns.
Each Of the three aisles was spann-
ed half way to the pulpit by an arch
covered with smilax. Over each
the side aisles hung from the lofty
ceiling baskets Of ferns. The organ,
the pulpit and the spaces usually Oc-
cupied by the choir and orchestra
were all beautifed by the masses Of
green. On two stands were huge
vases Of white gladiOli; the only
flowers in evidence.
Promptly at nine o'clock the we'd
ding party entered to the sweet
strains Of the Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, played by Mrs. C, D Richards.
Mrs. A. B. Anderson, of Nashville,
the brides sister, was matron of hon
or and the groom's brother, Mr.. Lin
ton Hamilton, was the best man. The
attendants and bridesmaids entered
by opposite aisles singly and all re-
tired by the center isle IN the follow
ing order;
Mrs. A. B, Anderson and Mr.. Lin
ton Hamilton.
Miss Mary Neville Hancock and
Mr., A. B. Anderson.
Miss -SeprOnia Kelsey, of Okla
AonAa City and Mr.. w. O. Soyars,
Miss Mary 4,ouise Sandefer, of Alb
i4eme, Tex, and Mr.. Bruce Woodruff,
Miss Elizabeth Mcpherson and Mr.,
El,nNr Grant.
Miss G1ace Richards and Mr.. Cad
ler WiIlhtesaam.
Miss Martha Gary and Mr.. de For
est Hamilton.
THE 81oOm entered from the pas
tors private entrance to the pulpit,
The Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 191?-19??, 1919-06-28

as did DR.. Leonard W. Doolan, the
pastor, and Rev. George c. Abbitt,
rector of Grace Episcopal church,
who assisted in the ceremonies.
The ceremony by DR.. Doolan was
brief and impressive and was follow
ed by a short prayer by DR.. Abbitt.
Following the wedding there was
reception to a limited number of
close friends at the handsome home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gary, on South Main
Street, a c. winch Mr and Mrs,
Hamilton took train for the North
on a wedding trip. Il"
In all Of its appointments the we'd
ding was faultless in taste and ex-
quisite in its elegance Of detail.
It would be hard indeed to get to-
gether a more strikingly beautiful lot
Of girls than those constituting the
wedding party, from the beautiful
bride to the sweet little flower girl,
Mary Anne Forbes. And the young
men were handsome and distinguish
ed looking and the proud father as
he gave the bride away, looked his
very best.
The brides departure from Hop
kinsville will leave vacancy in the
social and musical circles Of the city
that will be hard to fill. Gifted as a
vocalist while her older sister, Mrs.
Anderson, was equally talented as a
violinist, the two daughters have
been the joy and pride of their par
ents' hearts, Only a week or two ago
Miss Cary's sweet voice was heard in
a solo at the First Baptist church.
The bride received many beautiful
and costly wedding presents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Manilton will max,
their honae in Chicago, where Mr.
HAMILTON is in bssiness.
ARAeag tire 0ut-of-town visitor
were Mr.. David Hamilton, ST., Mr.
de Forest Hamilton, Mr.. and Mrs,
Elmer Grant, Mr.. Luther Hamilton,
and Mr Calder Willingham, all Of
2oane, Ca, and Mr.. Shorter Hamil-
tom, of New York.

THE HUNS DYING HARD AND
TRYING THE PATIENCE
OF THE ALLIES
FREDERICK LEAVES HOLLAND
ROting In German Cities Add to
The General Turmoil and
Disorder.

While no official information was
at hand yesterday as to the appoint
ment by the German government Of
plenipOtentiaries to proceed to Yer
sailles to sign the peace treaty, the
latest unofficial advices arriving in
Paris from Germany were to the eff
feet that DR.. Herman Mueller, for
eign minister in the cabinet Of Herr
Bauer, and DR.. Bell, the minister Of
colonies, have been chosen for the
duty.
The time for the signing Of the
treaty also still was il doubt. The
German delegation, said the report,
would reach Versailles Saturday
morning, having been due to depart
from Berlin Thursday night. There
has been some talk Of the possibility
Of setting Sunday as the date for
the function and Monday also has
been spoken Of, Everything, how
ever, seems contingent on the actual
appointment OF the men who are to
act for Germany and their associates
in Versailles. ~ -~'"
No further news from any source
has been received regarding the re-
tur of the German crown prince
who had been interned in Holland
since hostilities ceased.
Another vote of confidence has
been given the new German govern
ment by the Prussian national Assem-.
bly, following a discussion Of the
peace situation.
The disorders, both in Berlin and
Hamburg, where there has been con-
siderable street fighting and looting,
apparently are on the wane. A news
agency dispatch from Copenhagen
says 1876 persons were killed in the
riOting at Hamburg. The casualties
in Berlin have not been made public.

Young George paid his respects to
his grandfather the following morning,
having been occupied with various af-
fairs and engagements on Sunday I'M
til after the Majors bedtime; and top
les concerned with building or exca-
vati0ns were not introduced into the
conversation, which was a cheerful
one until George lightly mentioned
some new plans Of his. He spoke of
his desire to extend his proficiency in
driving: IN fact, he entertained the
ambition to drive a four-in-hand. How
ever, as the Major said nothing, and
merely sat still, looking surprised,
George went on to say that he did not
propose to Ego In for coaching Just

theirs house. Lights were burning over
there, upstairs; probably his newly
arrived uncle was engaged in talk with
the Major.
Georges glance lowered, resting cas-
ually upon the indistinct ground, and
he beheld some vague shapes, unfa-
miliar to him. Formless heaps, they
seemed; but, without much curiosity,
he supposed that sewer connections or
water pipes might be out of order,
making necessary some excavations.
Not greatly disturbed. he pulled down
the shade, yawned, and began to IN
dress, leaving further investigation for
the morning.
But in the morning he had forgotten
all about it, and raised his shade, to
let in the light, without even glancing
toward the ground. Not until he had
finished dressing did he look forth
from his window, and then his glance
was casual. The next instant his at.
titude became electric, and he ran
from his room, plunged down the
stairs, out of the front door, and, upon
a nearer view of the destroyed lawn
began to release profanity upon the
b~reeZeless summer air, which remained
unaffected. Between his mothers
house and his grandfather's, excava.

houses were in process, each within q
