A GOLDEN
From the pouglas COUNTY chroniele.

From the Douglas County Chronicle.
One of the most pleasant social
events that has taken place in Doug.
las county was the celebration Of
the golden wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs.
6. 8. Mathews at their residence
north Of Armour, last evening. De-
spite the fact that the weather look
ed very dubious there were fully
one hundred neighbors and friends
gathered together to congratulate
the venerable couple who have tray
eled life's journey together for fifty
long years. Mr.. and Mrs. Mathews
were married III Brookville, Penn.
III the year 1889, and have had FIVE
children, all Of whom, with their
grandchildren, Of whom there are IL,
were present last evening. 1t is q
remarkable family and as Mr.. Math-
ews said, they have been unusually
blessed by never having had but a
small amount Of sickness to contend
with. Arrayed in pure white with
natural flowers for ornaments it
was hard to convince one that Mrs.
Mathews had passed the SEVENTEEN
mile stone. As soon as the guests
had arrived, Rev. Henry Wilson in
a few very appropriate words pre-
sented the couple with the presents
and Nr. Mathews accepted them in
q lent speech. After the presenla-
ton refreshments were served, which.
by the way, we're elegant, and owing
to the outlook for n storm the CONF
pany broke up after wishing Mr..
and Mrs. Mathews success and the
the hope that they would be spared
to celebrate many more a%nniyersa-
ries Of their wedding. Following is
the list OF presents bestowed by low
ing children and friends:
