On Wednesday evening, February 9th,
Mr.. and Mrs. James J. Gilmer celebrated
their "Silyer Wedding" or the twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage. Their
home on South Main Street was beauti.
fully decorated for the occasion. At an
early hour the invited guests began to as
semble, and were gracefully received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilmer, who were heartily
congratulated, and many wishes expressed
that they might live to celebrate their
"Golden Wedding." Tho guests soon
made themselves at home, and enjoyment
was depicted on every face and the hours
passed quickly. Song and merriment
ruled the hour. At the proper hour came
refreshments, and every one was delighted
at the way they were served. Surrounded
by children, relatives and friends, the oc-
sion was happy one for Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilmer, and doubtless memory went back
over their marriage life-its joys and sor-
rows-but tonight only the joys are re.
membered, and bright visions Of future
happiness spring up in their hearts. The

hosts long and happy life.
A special meeting of the City Council
was held last Friday night to consider
numerously signed petition praying for
repeal Of the Ordinance against keeping
hogs in the city except during the months
OF December, January and February. Drs
Nardin and Orr and Sharpe, of the Board
of Health, were present by request of
Council and their unanimous opinion was
that if Ghe petition was granted the pres
ence III the hog within the city would en-
danger the lives of the citizens. Each
member gave strong reasons for his opin.
ion. Every day for eighteen months be-
fore the Ordinance was adopted, said Ir
Orr. Dr.. Esrdin and myself visited one or
more typhoid fever patients. But within
the last two years, he continued, we have
not had over q dozen cases of typhoid
fever, and they were of mild type. such
as would be found among the mountains,
on the seacost, or anywhere. The repeal
of that Ordinance would invite that dread
disease to return to our city. The Hon
John e Breazeale. the other member of
the Board, was not present, but he was
known to hold similar opiuions to those
of the other members. In the light of the
facts adduced by the Board the Council
promptly resolved to refuse the prayer of
the petitioners. Had the petition been
granted 1t would have been in order to
revise the old saw, root hog or die," 30
as to read, "root hog and let the other
fellow die.''
