ANNIVERSARY AND RECEPTION
A PIeanant Party.

A Pleasant Party.
On the 14th of April, 1916, Mr.. u. {.
List, of this city, and Miss Heiskell. Of
Jefferson county, were united in marriage.
Last night number Of friends of this
worthy and happily married pair as
sembled at Mr. Lists residence on Main
street, to do honor to the
twenty-ninth anniversary of what
has proven to have been
u most suspicious marriage, and, at the
same time to greet with good wishes
Mr.. Harry w. List. who has lately re-
turned to the psternal mansion with his
chosen bride nee Miss Lily Creel. The
bride of twenty-nlne happy years ago and
the bride of but yesterday received con-
gratulations. The one with motherly
counsel and example, showing
the path of happiness, and the
other just stepping upon the threshold Of
wifcly duties, made the occasion one OF
more than usual interest and gave to the
GOOD wishes eff the assembled friends
more fervOr aud sincerity than is usual
upon such occasions. For many years
past Mr.. D. G. List and his accom-
phshed wife have been foremost
in every good word and work
for the advancement of the interests OF
the city of Wheeling and the welfare OF
the citizens. By prudence and probity
they have accumulated handsome COM
potency of worldly riches, and their ears
have been ever open to the calls OF the
needy, and their hands have fed those
that cried tor hunger. Their charity
has relieved many that were sick and
many that lacked for bread. And while
thus caring for the wants OF
their fellow creatures-they have trained
an admirable and happy household of
children to follow in TIER footsteps and
initiate their virtues. May they live
many more years of equal usefulness and
enjoy many equally pleasant celebrations
of the anniversary of their mar
riage, as was that of last night.
To Mr.. Harry W. List and his
bride the fondest good wishes were ex
tended by the entire company. They
need but follow the home example to de-
serve and to win equal success in life.
The company assembled was probably
the largest and finest that has ever grac-
ed private house in Wheeling. The
elite of the city was there and there were
numerous guests from neighboring cities,
and from the adjoining country. The
toilettes of the ladies were superb beyond
compare, and the array of beauty was
such as has been rarely witnessed in this
city.
Every appointment of the whole affair
WAS in good taste. The parlors and re-
ception rooms were handsomely decorated
with flowers. In the front parlor on one
wall was the floral inscription, "lS4G--
1875 the dates connected by a splendid
wreath. On the opposite wall was
beautiful monogram formed CT the letters
l.. and {. in honor of the recent marriage.
a number of very handsome and costly
presents of gold and silver plate, tokens
of regard to the old and new pairs, were
inspected and admired by the guests,
and Mr.. Zinn furnished refreshments
that did honor to his already well eStab-
lishcd fame as u confectioner and caterer.
Kramcr's orchestra discoursed bewitch-
ING music and the more youthful guests
heartily enjoyed the dance which the
music almost compelled.
Taken altogether the reception was a
very gratifying success, and We feel that
the prominence which Mr.. List and his
cstimable family have long enjoyed in
this community, and the large number of
our foremost citizens who were present
last night have deprived the affair of its
otherwise purely private character, and
have made it a Legitimate topic for this
public note.
