The golden wedding of Mir. and Mrs. Jabez Collins, celebrated at their home, 371 Central-st., Springfield, last Tuesday evening, was the occasion of a pleasant gathering of friends. The company began
 to gather at o'clock. A bountiful supper was served, and there weref few special exercises, two pieces of verse being read, one of which was composed by the widow of Rev. Edward Clark. These were full of good feeling to the aged couple who were the recipients of so many congratulations, and the sentiment was further emphasized by Rev. Allen Hagen of Hartland, Vt., an old friend of the family, who was present with his daughter. Similar remarks were made by Joseph M. Griggs, who was best man at the original wedding. Among the guestsl were James Hurlburt of Somers, who attended the first wedding. The only shade cast over the occasion was the ina- bility to be present of Horace Fuller of Somers, 94 years old, father of Mrs. Col lins, who is confined to the house by ill., ness. There were many rich and beauti- full gifts. The wedding, of which this oc
 casion was the anniversary, took place in Somers March A, 1841, at the home of the bride, who was Sarah M. Fuller. The couple at once began housekeeping on the 1arm ID 0omeFs, where SIX SeuSrations ot the family have lived, and they remained there until IS years ago. They then moved to Springfield. The family of MT. Collins were among the first settlers of Somers. Mrs. Collins's ancestors also date back to early colonial days. The three children of the couple are living, B. F. Collins of the firm of A. N. Mayo & Co.,, Springfield, J. Frank Collins of St. Paul, Minn., and Mary E., wife of Archibald Ladner, of Springfield. There are six grandchildren.

SALISBURY, Mo, August 4, 1891.
DIR. Foy's lecture at the Methodist
chnrch last Thursday evening was
largely attended and fully sustained
the doctors reputation as an educa-
tor and lecturer. His comparison OF
the teacher of fifty years ago and to-
day was closely listened to and was
such as to make the teachers OF to-
day feel that while their qualifica-
tions are far superior to those OF
half a century ago, they are also eX-
pected to accomplish a great deal
more than did the teachers of old.
He vividly portrayed the RESPONSE
bility of the teacher and did in such
way as to give encouragement and
make the teacher feel that his pro-
fession is indeed noble one.
Ed. Caldwell at the Christian
church Friday night presented the
subject of psychology to full house
of teachers and citizens. Ed. Cald-
well appeared in his usual, natural,
energetic way, and held the atten-
ton of his audience throughout. BY
vote of the institute his lecture will
be published in this weeks Press

The following ex-governors of Mis-
souri, are yet in the land of the living:
Hon. L. L. Crittendon resides in Kan
sas City, and is practicing law. He
is supposed to be worth $4,000 or
$4,000. Hon. Chas. H. Hardin's s
home is in Mexico. Heis president of
the Hardin college, the principal
stockholder and president of a big
banking institution, and has an es-
tate valued at 100000. There is
Hon. Thos. Fletcher who must not be
forgotten. He is practicing law in
st. Louis, and while worth nothing is
always interested in some sort of
speculation. He will tackle pension
claims, sawmills, real estate or any
thing in which be thinks he can make
an honest dollar. Mr.. Clurg has
charge of the U. 5. land office at
Springfield, Mo. He was always an
impecunious chap, and has just about
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether. Ex-Governor Woodson, who
was a compromise candidate, is a
lawyer i'll st. Joseph. He is also
Judge of one of the circuit courts in
that city, appointed by Gov. Fran
els. None of the ex-gcvernors have
any political aspirations that we
know of.
