curtain, the year 1875 in golden figures.

they had attained. and the golden harvest

aged parents, children and grandchildren

time coming.
Dainty refreshments were provided for
and partaken of by the quests. and at a
seasonable hour they bid adieu with a
warm bana-clasp to the Doctor and wife
and heartfelt wishes that their DECLINING
years may be happy and peaceful.
