ters are In Richmond for the winter. Mrs.

A Delightful Evening,

Last night the upper 400 was invi- ted to the residence of Mr and Mrs. l.. E. Goldsmith to celebrate with them their tenth marriage anniver-
 sary. To say it was an enioyable af-
 fair would be expressingi it too mildly
 and with the editors consent I will
 relate few of the pleasures In the
 first place to look at the handsome
 couple, Mr and Mrs. Goldsmith, one
 would have thought last night was
 their wedding instead of a celebration
 of the tenth anniversary of tbeir
 marriage, so kind has providence
 dealt with them As we walked in
 we found them surrounded by their
 handsome mother, four sisters and
 two brothers of Little Rock, and their
 brothel-in-law. Mr. Gus Blass. To
 us it was q happy sight. At 10
 o'clock the jolly crow, started in to
 amuse themselves playing euchre and
 other past time games. At 1oo'clock
 We were invited 70 supper, no not
 supper but q regular wedding feast.
 The writer has attended many a
 banquet, but last night surpassed
 anything l ever attended, and from the way the guest all partook l
 know they are of the same opinion.
 Mr. Hanf was called on for a toast.
 and i'll his stately and easy way de- livered a toast that will long be re- membered. Whileit was an occasion of pleasure AIr. Hanf spoke with such solemnity that tears appeared in all eyes. In the course of his re- marks, Mr. Hanf said we see from this happy union of ten years three beautiful children, l hope when you invite us to your fifteeatIi anniver- sary we will behold six beautiful children, to your twentieth we will behold nine beautiful children. and to your twentyfifth twelve lovely children; about this time q wine cork hit Mr. Hanf in the eye, and the wine flew ill his mouth and shut him off. Mir. Goldsmith responded hv saying You can't bluff me, I'll be there. As the writer has tried the bluff on Mr. Goldsmith several times witout success-will take his word | for it. Mir. Louis Roth then with | his rich baritone voice sang beslutf- ful song which was certainly en- loyed The reeitationby Mrs. Eugene Fies was grand, and later on had to | be repeated. The comic song by Mir. M Cans, s.l love to play with the ladies was the event of Intervening. Alr. Cans possesses a rich tenor voice and 1t is always enjoyed by them so fortunate as to hear him. Mrs. Louis Roth sang several beautiful selections in her easy graceful way, and she is surely a Patti ill amateur circles.

Meyer to be an expert pn this instrument Nc all left Mr. and Mrs. Goldsmith this morning with the wishes that we would be invited to their golden wedding ***
