SILVER WEDDING.
The 25th Anniversary of the Marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman McCombs.

The 25th Anniversary of the Marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman McCombs.
The Pembroke Criterion gives thi.
account of an affair at Pembroke OF
which the KENTuCKIAN could get but
a meagre report at the time:
"One of the most enjoy able occasions
that has enlivened the New Year was
the silver wedding reception at Mr..
and Mrs. Lyman McCOmbs' on the
18th inst. A more beautiful day
could not have been selected, and We
thought as we looked at the bride
and groom of twenty-five winters
how like the day had been their lives
so comparatively free from clouds
aud tempests, and how lightly the
years had dealt with them. The
guests began to arrive about | o'clock
aud were received by Miss Daisy
McComb, who did the honors of the
occasion with great credit. Her three
handsome brothers We'd with each
other in their untiring attentions to
the wants, pleasure and entertainment
of those present. Several delightful
hours were spent in the beautifully
decorated plrlors and when the order
was given to march the doors were
thrown open and We repaired TO the
spacious dining-room where such a
vision of good things met our eyes
as has seldom been our pleasure 10
witness. The beautiful china and
silver were almost eolipsed by the
equally elegant array of delicious
cakes, and in fact, everything that
would please the eye and tempt the
appetite. After many beautiful con-
gratulations and good wishes to our
genial host and hostess, we departed
to our several homes, all feeling that
\ more delightful afternoon had new
er been spent. We sincerely wish
the happy couple may live to ce'e-
brate their golden wedding with
their large family circle unbroken."
