GOLDEN WEpDING.-Sudrick and Lucy
Clemens of Hiram, celebrated the fiftietl
anniversary or their marriage May LIST
They were married in Hiram, April 18th
1888, by Rev. Daniel Bracket. Theil
golden wedding was postponed from Apri
18th 10 May lst, on account OF the baC
condition of the roads at that time. May
day was fair and pleasant, and thirty-siS
persons, relatives and friends of this ven
cradle couple gathered at their home and
made the occasion one OF much enjoyment.
The meeting of friends long separated, the
greetings of family circle unbroken by
death, the Joyous merriment of the great
grand children, and the excellent dinner,
all combined 10 make il an event never to
be forgotten. They received in money
and other valuable presents s30.57, and
they wish 10 return their thanks to all
present. Mr.. Clemens will be II years OF
age the 10th of July, 1888, and is still en-
loving good health, has never been sick
but one day since his early childhood, so
IS 10 remain uRdressed-on that occasion
he had the measles. He is the grandson
of John Clemens, who settled in 1850 on
the farm of which Mr.. Clemens now occu-
pies a part; the remainder of it is owned
by Col. Aldrich NJ. Clemens, being one OF
the only two farms in Hiram that have de-
seconded from sire to son in unbroken sue
cession for 100 years. In October 1880,
the Clemens family celebrated their CEN
tennial II appeared from the census rolls
that one hundred and fifty-two citizens of
Hiram were related TO the said John Glenn
ons, who was about the first settler of
Hiram. 1t is remarkable fact that there
have been but six deaths in the Clemens
family, in this town, for some forty years.
Two occurred by accident, two infants
and two aged men, IS and 81 years old.
The family is noted for industry, frugality
and persevering habit of attending to their
own business. Mr.. Sudrick Clemens and
his wife have ever been peacable, obliging
neig hbors, kind and indulgent parents, and
have won the respect and good will Of all
our citizens.

up promptly at four o'clock, in fair condi-

A short canter, positions were drawn, Lady
Norwood at the pole. The riders mistak-

heat without time, starting about ROD

lions throughout. At the second heat,
the horses got close start, meek anu

stallion Bonner, Spirit Of TO-" Mr.. Al.
Bucks light bay mare, and the two fine
PAGERS owned by Messrs. Holmes and
Horne. The fifth and last run was soon
called, with the mare at the pole. Doctor
got the advantage at the start, took the
pole near the first turn, and after fine
run brought in the finish in Los with a
lead Of some ten feet. Considering the
track was spOnsy and not yet in repair for
the season, and the horses not in perfect

one Of the most exciting ever held here.

An OLD SAW DULLED. - The old adage
about the certainty OF breeding political
corruption by keeping one party continu-
ously in power is not carried out by the
experience of Kansas. The Republicans
have had possession Of the State Govern
ment for twenty-five years, and yet the
first Democratic Governor can ind no ir-
regulsrities out Of which 10 manufacture
party capital. There is over 5000, 900 in
the tresury, the taxes for last year have
not vet been spent and the State debt is so
small that tax Of four-tenths Of mill on
the dollar meets the interest. The perma-
nent school fund is growing aud the in
come from it meets all the expenses for
school purposes. Governor Click had
nothing 10 ind fault with and so had TO
content himself with growing about the
prohibitory amendment.
