About ninety of the relatives and
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson Camp
bell gathered at their residence on
Monday afternoon and evening, Nov.

place for others, Mr.. and Mrs. Camp
bell were called into the parlor and
requested to be seated, whercupOn
! Nh. George +. Small of Morristown,

once asked why he built for himself so

many friends, that we have met here this /

congratulations on this. the occasion of |
the tortieth anniversary your marriage; I.
and to exchange the friendly greeting
with you, and to strengthen those ties OF
friendship NuICn Uuu heart to heart and I
friend TO friend. Forty years of married .
life have doubtless brought many changes. /
and there have been many shadows as
well as sunshine in your pathway, but on |
the whole. God has bleSt and proSpered |
you in good degree. You are favored |
with comfortable home. and no one /
seems to enjoy that home more than you,
and all who have visited you can testify /
to your mbOunded hospitality. You
have not lived for yourselves alone, but
have lived in part for those around you.
\ GU have ever been willing to lend 4
helping hand in all laudable enterprises
of the day, and acted the part of valued
citizens. There are comparatively few
married couples who are permitted
to live together for so long a per-
iod as forty years, and you have reason to
be thankful that God has spared your

During all these years, each has shared
the joy and the sorrow of the other.
and have ever faithfully maintained
the sanctity of the marriage vow, and
set an example worthy our imitation.
As the fruits of this marriage we see
gathered around you these children (and
not forgetting the dear departed One);
also these grandchildren. May these
children be spared to you, and when old
age shall come may they care for you
aud minister to your every want. And
these grandchildren, may they grow up
to manhood and wnmanhOOd and become
useful members of society in imitation of
their grandparents. We find here before
us a few articles, both useful and Orna-
mental. and, in behalf of these relatives
and friends, allow me to present to you.
hoping you will accept them, not for
their intrinsic value alone, bat rs me-
mcntos our kindcSt regards for you. and
as testimonials of our abiding friendship;
and may you live long to enjoy them and
live TO see many more anniversaries, and
when ten years shall roll round. may we |
all be here to celebrate your golden we'd l
ding; and may your last days be your ;
happiest days.
