A Golden Wedding.
Reported for the Staunton V1NDIcAToR.l

reported for the Staunton VINDICAToR.]
Mr.. Adam Stephenson and his wife
celebrated their golden wedding at their
home, "Glenwood,' Highland county,
Va, on the 30th day of January, 1888. Six
children and twelve grandchildren were
present-A. Tyler and three of his chill
dren, Lucius II. and three children, Oscar
A. and four children, John w. and two
children, and James B. and Miss Sudie e.
Stephenson constituted the family. All
the children were present except Mrs. Col.
w. W. Arnett of Wheeling, W. Va, who
was prevented from attending by the ex-
IRENE cold weather. The only surviving
male witness of the marriage in16SS. David
G. Kincaid, was present. Mr. and Mrs.
Stephenson were married at the residence
Of James Brown. Esq, on Jackson River,
by the Rev. David Cunningham, a Presby-
terrain minister, who at that time lived in
the same house in which the golden wed
ding was celebrated. Mrs. Stephenson
was Miss Sarah Charlotte Wilson, daugh
ter Of VIM. Wilson, Esq, of Bath. and
great of Robert Alexan-
der of Augusta. Many friends of the
family were present. The presents were
numerous and elegant-among them, a
gold-headed ebony cane for the father
and golden rocking chair for the mother,
from the children.
An old-time Virginia dinner was served
in good style, and with hospitality chat
made me feel at home.
1t is 60 seldom that the husband and
wife live to celebrate their 50th anniver-
sary, that it was great pleasure to be
present on this occasion and hear the faith
er and mother and the children recalling
the many happy events of their past lives
in the old homestead; the joyous shouts
of laughter called forth by the recital of
practical jokes practiced by the children;
the many acts and sayings of the children
and servants, and all the little events of
family history SO familiar to all families,
and 80 common that we forget how much
they contribute to tighten the great bur-
dens Of life.
It was certainly a delightful reunion
and greatly enjoyed by all present.
We heartily joined in the wish of a
friend, who was not present but sent greet
lngs, and wished they might live to cele-
brate their centennial,

81; George, who died at the age of Sc, and
Gideon, who is now over so. These three
brothers have for half century been prom
inent and active supporters of the United
Brethren church at Churchvllie.
George Smith was very remarkable
man. Though man active in the affairs
Of life be had never been known to say a
harsh word; he never had law suit,
and was never in courthouse except
when summoned as juror. and he
might be said to have died absolutely with
out an enemy. He was the oldest sub
scriber to the INDICATOR and had taken
it from. the first copy. forty-elght years ago,
up to the time his eYesight failed,a year ago.
His last visit TO StauntOn was to pay his
subscription to it, which he did. remarking
that he couldn't live very long and he
wanted to die with everything square. His
funeral took place from the Churchville
U. B. church, Monday, and was conduct
ed by Revs. j. G. Dyche and Edward Rice.
Notwithstanding the bad weather, the
church was crowded. The pall-bearers
were Messrs. Benz. Lickliter, Noah knopp,

There are few men who could have been
taken from the business or social circles OF

First Presbyterian church on Wednesday
afternoon, and his remains, at his own re-
quest, were Inferred here. The services

Appointment of Special Constables by the
County Court.

County Court.
Col. Crawford of Augusta recently in
troduced bill in the House of Delegates,
the necessity for which came about in a
rather queer way. It was a bill authoriz-
ing the Judge Of the County Court to ap-
point special constables in certain cases,
and was framed on an application from the
Crimora works, in this county, which have
the population of small town, and where
on payday 1t is sometimes necessary to
have officers. 1t was thought the County
Judge already had the power, but it seems
he has not, unless he were to appoint
t.uezce constables. The law was intended
to read 1.-THE County Judge shall appoint
not less THAR two nor morel than twelve
special constables on application, dec. The
clerk in copying the law twenty years ago
omitted the words in brackets, so, as the
law stands on the statute book, a County
Judge must appoint twelve or none. There
is another law authorizing the Judge to
appoint special constabes. but that APP
plies exclusively to schools. Col. Craw
ford's bill cures all the errors.

All the space available in the Circuit
Court Clerks office for fling ended causes
is occupied, and there is no place to use for
that purpose for the next term Of the
court. This would look like we wanted
more room, if not a new courthouse. The
supervisors ought to look into the new
plan for building a courthouse and see
what there is in it.

It is probable that by Spring there will
be from three to six canneries around
Staunton. If those going into the business
will give their orders for cans in Staun-

can get them at New York prices with
the freight off. Any one of cur timers
here can turn them out at the rate of $50
an hour. The business is dull IN these
months, but when Spring opens the tin
ners will have i1iore profitable work.
