Surprise! Golden Wedding!

FIFTY years ago, On the lotn day OF
August, 1886, John J. Jones and
Elizabeth Cherington sought welded
love by taking the holy VOW, thus
blending their hearts and fortunes in
one fate. Doubling their pleasures,
and dividing their cares, they launched
out on life's pilgrimage. Notwith-
standing the newness Of the country
and the many discouragements at that
period, they went forth with the
motto that Labor is noble, economy
is wealth."
During the half century that has
past, well-to-do family of children
have been reared, and with grand
children, and host of friends, joined
for the purpose of giving the old folks
a grand surprise on their golden we'd
ding day, which took place August IS,
1886, at Mr.. Jones residence near
Vega, Ohio. Mr.. Jones had gone in
the morning to the home of his SON
in-law, ]. E. Lackey, to help him cut
briers, and on being sent for he quit
his work and came to the house with
his sleeves rolled up as if he intended
to make US get-up-and-get, but we
were too many for him and so he sur
rendered. Mrs. Jones had been sent
to her daughters, Mrs. J. E. Lackey,
and on returning home and meeting
friends whom she had not seen for
years, was more than she could stand
without letting the tears roll down
her cheeks to betray her surprise.
To describe the dinner would take
too much space They had almost
everything in abundance. After din
ner, in which about two hundred
heartily engaged, Andrew Henson, of
Jackson, called the merry crowd to-
gether and in quite an appropriate
speech set forth the object Of the sur
prise, after which came the presenta-
tion of the presents by Andrew Hen
son, Hattie Cherington and w. W.
Davis. Knowing that it would take
up too much space in your valuable
paper to give a list Of the presents, we
would just say that Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones received presents amounting to
about $75.
Mr.. Jones was born in Wales, Oct.
II, 1913, and came to America when
twenty years Of age Married Eliza
beth Cherington, daughter Of Thomas
Cherington, of Gallia County, Aug.
IS, 1886. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jones
have lived out more than the allotted
time Of man, but it is the wish of
many friends that they may be per-
mitted to live little while longer
with US, and that their last years may
be the happiest Of all.

this is a matter Republicans should look

There is too often lack of conception
of the true character of the Savior-even
many students of the Scriptures failing
to get the fullness of the idea that Jesus
possessed all the emotions of the man, as
well as the higher character of the Divine
one. Jesus suffered, as well as men in
the present day. He certainly had an
experience somewhat tainted by gloomy
emotions, on the occasion of the Supper,
referred to. He loved his disciples,
yet with the great power of reading their
characters, he knew that they would not
all stand by his teachings. He was to go
away, and leave them among enemies, to
fight the battle against all the enemies of
Christianity; but he would impress upon
them before leaving, that he still felt
that great love for them, and went to
prepare a place for them-even the home
of the chosen of the Father.
There is a lesson in the expression that
they, had they known him, should have
known his father also, thus indicating
that the lessons he had taught them had
not gone to the depths of their hearts.
They would see the father. The great
difficulty on the part of some who pro-
fess to love the Savior, is that they take
the material, rather than the spiritual
view of things. What is wanted, and
what everybody should do, is to give to
the Savior that implicit faith and trust
which looks beyond the visible, material
sign, and comprehends the true meaning
of the lessons he taught. The immediate
disciples in that time of danger and trial,
could not get the true idea that for all
purposes the Son was in the Father, and
the Father in the Son. The same idea
should prevail nOw-that whatsoever we
ask in the name of the Son, he will grant
it, to the glory of the Father. We must
exercise implicit faith, perfect trust, in
the Son, believing that he doeth the will
of the Father. We must look beyond
the mere material evidences of greatness,
into the glory and grandeur of the world
of truth and light beyOnd.

-. George Waller had little experience
as money-changer to-day. A number
of persons following the show, if not be-
longing to it, were going about town Of
fering to change small bills for larger de-
nominations. The trick is to get a man
to hand the swindler, say twenty dollar
bill, when the latter will hand back, say
seventeen dollars, then slip away and
mingle with the crowd. Mr.. Waller
very kindly consented to change three
twenty-dollar bills for smaller denomin-
ations. with a swowman-but the show
man forgot to hand him back enough
money by .forty.1foe dollars. Of course
every Snowman denied any knowledge OF
the transaction, and the money was lost.
