SILyER.-On Wednesday evening last
about forty Of the intimate friends Of Mr. and
Mrs. W. W. Harding, West Ottawa, assem-
bled in honor of the twenty fifth anniversary
of the marriage OF that couple. Many sill.
very tokens were bestowed amid ibe con.
gratulations upon the happy union that has
existed for a quarter Of century. That the
golden wedding may be equally happily cele-
brated, and that the same guests that graced
the present occasion, and many more, may
be there is the wish Of the FREE TRADER
Ms.-Streator Free Press: "Few things are
80 grateful to a man % to know that through
years Of association, amid trials and among
cares he has endeared himself to the hearts
Of his co.workers. And few things show so
graceful and generous q disposition In his
associates in toll ~ tho act Of showing their
appreciation OF his good works on his depart
ure to another field Of labor. John c. Nc
Keen has been in the employ Old. Heenan
4 Co., in this city for many years but he goes
this evening to Ottawa preparatory to sssum-
ing the office Of deputy county clerk. On
Saturday evening the clerks of that store pre-.
pared q surprise for him and In token OF
their regard and appreciation of his worth,
presented him with an elegant ring of onyx
setting and surmounted by the letter "M'
wrought in diamonds and gold. 1t was a
beautiful gift although unexpected by
Mr.. McKeon. to whom it will doubtless be u
lasting momento Of the kind hearts md
faithful frienus nc has lei. behind hin Al.
Streator."
J.D. H.-The Republican says our genial
friend J. d. II. is preparing book on the
natural curiosities of this country. This is
news, but good news for if anyone can do
1t, 1t is j. d. H. However, the Omaha
Watchn,sn Nov. 4th, rather sizes the Repu6-
ican, when it says: "Mr. l.. kehoe, mana
ger of the Catholic Publication society Of
New York, and Deacon j. d. Hammond, the
itinerant missionary of that society, dropped
in on US on Tuesday Mr.. Kehoe has been
mistaken for John Kelly of New York, and
although an old time republican, received
democratic ovations in his travels. MI,
Hammond, from his striking resemblance to
the evangelist of that name has been
invited TO address the Christian denomina
tons wherever he goes" We have often re-
GREETED since we saw this that the cold
weather prevented Mr.. Kehoe's making a
visit to OTTAWA Just before election With
Mr. Kehoe's good looks" IN NINA we have
thought, in this good democratic city, what a
"time" we would have had!
