HAZEL GREEN.


One of the most pleasant social events
of the season was the recent celebration
of the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. Jones.
Invitations We're quite general and
friends were present from Galena, Po-
tosi, Hazel Green and Waterloo, Iowa.
Assembling early in the evening, there
was ample time for enjoying the fine
display of silver, which consisted of the
usual presents of castors, cake baskets,
butter-dishes, pickle castors, knives,
spoons, napkin rings, ETC., with the adj
dition of a very handsome present of a
silver service of seven pieces from a
dozen OF more friends. Altogether the
table presented very silvery appear
ance, but had rival in the dining Ia
bles which were bountifully provided
with both substantials and delicacies.
Fine music was provided by Mrs. Will
son, flowers were abundant and the
feeling of hospitality and good viii was
quite evident.
Mrs. John H. Howe, of Lancaster,
was among us last week to attend the
silver wedding of her uncle, Mr.. W. ID.
Jones.
The Galena Gazette, calls attention
to the talked of Fourth of July celebra-
ton at Hazel Green, with Judge Glenn
entson as orator of the day. Nothing
could be more appreciated here than a
speech on that day by the Judge, as
we know no other gentlemen of our ac-
quaintance who could draw such crowd
or give as general satisfaction as the
man we have many of us known from
childhood. Judge ClementsOn has many
warm friends in this vicinity. having
grown up among us and always been
kind-hearted and agreeable. We hope
to see him here the coming Fourth and
we will have the most glorious time
Hazel Green ever had. We hope the
people of town and country will keep
the matter warm, and at no distant day
have ready for us agood programme for
the Fourth of July celebration at Hazel
Green.
