The tftieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs Milton Fisher was celebrated by
them and their friends at their home on the
18th inst. OF the three brothers and five sir
ters of Mr.. and Mrs Fisher now living, only
one was present; but the occasion was rich in
golden memories brought to mind by letters
from friends, who though absent in body, were
present in spirit, as we'll as in valuable pres
ents from those present and absent. MIR.
Fisher bought the farm where he now lives in
March 1898, on which, at that time but small
clearing, he erected cottage during the sum
mer to which he took his BRIDE in October fol-
lowing, and the same farm has been their
home during these fifty years, In place OF the
forest and aiders which at that time occupied
the land, is spread out before them broad acres
OF hne meadow land with bountiful supp
OF commodious buildings. During all these
years they have not devoted all their time and
energies to their own personal interests, but
have been closely identified with the religious
and business interests of the town. Mr. Fisher
has filled large share of the Offices of the
town and is at the present time to wn treasurer
In all his public positions he has been faith
fnl servant of the town, ever discharging hi,
duty with honesty and fidelity. It Is hoped
that many years Of comfort and happiness ar,
before them.
