SOLID SILVER.
TWenty-Fifth Anniv srsary Of the Mar
riage Of M. and Mrs. q. A.
Morris,
a Most Happy Occasion Full, I,., n,
the Presents.


IL mas been our pleasure since we
nave been connected with the "Great
Religious Weekly" to attend many
social gatherings-many wedding an
&C., &C. but the most
pleasant affair of the kind we ever
attended was the twenty fifth ami
versary OF the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. A. Morris, Of this city, last
Saturday night. Twenty five years
ago Mr.. Geo. A. Morris and Miss
Mary E. Belt were married at ,nde-
pendence, Mo. Time has dealt gent
ly with this couple. We have not
the space to follow this happy pair
through the changes of quarter of
a century.
Each anniversary has found them
nearer and dearer to each other, with
new ties to bind them to each other,
with new blessings to give thanks for,
and last Saturday evening, as they
stood side by side once more. as it
were, before the Hymeneal altar,
surrounded by their charming daugh-
ters and dutiful sons, they felt much
to rejoice at and but little to regret.
The accustomed service was solem-
nized by Rev. T. j. 6 'och, who was
followed with an. appropriate and i'm
pressive prayer by Ed. J. A. Brooks
1t is not our intention to note the
costumes Of those present, for we
have not room for even the most ele-
giant, and we do not wish to he par
tial to a few. A list of the guests
can be cleaned from our list of pres.
ents, as every one was represented
by present.
The guests enjoyed most delight.
ful evening. No one can entertain
better than Mrs. G. A. Morris, es
pecially when assisted by her accom-
plished daughters and sister, Mrs. 7
c. Ready, than whom there is not {
more pleasant lady.
| 1t would seem as though Natur
smiled on the occasion and, as
were, put on appropriate apparel
The ground, trees and fences all re
fiected silvery light from an ic
back ground.
> The supper vas not only bountifu
elegant and tastefnay arranged, b.
t it was served ia such a quiet, eas
manner that the guests enjoyed
e much more than is generally the cas-
on such an occasion
o The ''bride's cake" was most q
tistic in its app arance. 1t was vel
handsomely ornamented with BRIT
and groom in miniature.
The dates of their marriage and
this anniversary, as we'll as their II
tials, were BEAUTIFULLY arranged
e bold relief.
y. The presents were not only beau
;. full and costly, but were evidently
