the 25th anniversary OF their wedding.
They were invited to the Hotel OF
Geo. IL. Chalfeld, where they were
provided with supper. Dancing was
the order of the evening until three

was subscribed for Mr.. Pierce.
"A party assembled at the house

wedding Of their daughter and Mr..

retired to Grange Hall and tripped the

comodate such large assemblage but
it is said that Socrates the ancient phi

filled with friends is better than large
