Twenty-nfth wedding Anniversary


A goodly company, mbering over 100
assembled at the hospitable home OF Mr.
and Mrs. r. A. Kezer Saturday evening
! June IL, to celebrate the 25th anpiversary
ot their welded life, taking Mr.. and Mrs
Kezer completely by surprise. However
they were equal to the occasion and ex-
tended most cordial welcome to all. After
the greeting and congratulations, there
was fine music and several selections from
GaIeH Fishs gramophone; this was fol.
lowed by remarks by DIR. Emerson OF the
Boston College OF Oratory to the bride and
groom, which were listened to attent-
lively and enthusiastically applauded.
mr. J. p. Stockwell read poem written
by himself for the occasion, which was
excellent aud is given below. Not the
least Interesting incident OF the evening
was the appearance OF the bride, who wore
her wedding dress OF white muslin, just
as II was made 25 years ago. We noticed
that the friends left them several substan-
tiai tokens OF their esteem in the way of
silverware, china, an easy chair, etc. Re-
freshments OF cake and ice cream were
served after which the company departed,
one and all wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Kezer
continued health and prosperity till they
reach the golden milepost in life's Jour-
ney.
