Silver Threads Among the Gold
Mr.. and Mrs Jno. S. Mills celebrated
their silver wedding on Saturday eve
ming last, at their residence, five mile
back Of the city. The house which sit,
upon beautiful knoll, was one blaze o.
light The silver frosts oftwenty-flve
years of welded life have not taken the
bloom Of health and strength from ouI
host and hostess. Honor and respect Is
theirs both by right Of Inheritance and
daily life. They belong to grand old
trunk which gives off branches in every
direction. rich in the fruits Of Republi-
canism, for not ten buds of Democracy
feast upon its hardy sap. A blight In
its growth would change the politics OF
Gallia county.
Some eighty guests gathered here and
partook Of feast, which. were 1t not
famous as the spread of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
s. Mills, would be noted as the culinary
completeness OF the goodly farmers Of
old Gallia. The beauties of the country
side were there, with their. handsome
galsnts, and the spectator wOt not
of q picture more charming. Rev.
J. w. Mccormick, brother Of the
hostess, made some feeling remarks and
introduced the pair to whom all came
