Fifty years is long time in prospect
but so short in retrospect. Such were the
feelings of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Newcomb
on the occasion of their golden wedding,
which occurred on the afternoon and
evening of July 9Th. 1t was fitting time
to review the scenes of the past half CEN
fury. 1t brought to mind the manly youth
Edwin and The shy maiden Meribah as
they commenced life's journey together
The years have sped rapidly bringing it's
joys and sorrows, but time has not fallen
so heavily as to leave many traces of age.
The step is not quite so elastic, the silver
is seen in the locks, but the eye has lost
none of it's lustre and the heart is as young
as ever. One of three daughters, the
wife of Alfred Rogers, survives to cheer
her parents by her daily presence, and one
grandson, George, is promising youth
of fourteen. With comfortable home,
good health, and the loving care of so
Ulldl daughter is all one needs TO make
llfe's declining days pleasant. Their en-.
tire married life has been passed on his
fathers farm which has become dear by
association.

ulate Mr.. and Mrs. NewcOmb on this rare
OCCASION for few live to celebrate their
golden wedding. Friends and nei ghbors
to the number of one hundred and twen-
ty-tive were present, among whom were
five brothers and three sisters of Mrs.
NewCOmb. The evenings entertainment

which the parties are held by the towns

Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, NC.
1t may be question whether the editor
of newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprie-
tary medicines which flood the market,
yet as preventive of suffering we feel it
duty to say good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a dose
of this remedy would save hours of suffer-
ing while physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administed at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided and
in very many cases the presence of a
physician would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during the
past, twenty years. For sale by j. NJ.
Taylor, druggist.

We come tonight at friendships call,
To take kind review
OF olden times d early friends,
The trusted and the true.
Where are they now, those cherished ones,
Who shared life, hopes and fears
Companions of this welded pair
OF hat hundred years.
Times frost has dimmed those loving eyes,
The dark locks turned to snow,
And some beneath the daisies sleep,
The loved Of long ago.
But, Oh times kindly hand to you,
Brings JOY instead of tears,
And lights with golden beams the track
OF half hundred years.
And friends and kind ed gather here,
To greet you while they may,
And bear their = fits of love to cheer,
Your golden wedding day.
And may you to the Master bring
When the harvest me appears,
The golden fruit of faithful toll
OF half hundred years.
Three children came to bless your home,
And fill your heart with cheer,
One still remains, but two have gone
To realms OF brighter sphere.
For many years may you abide,
Within this home of peace,
Till you reach your home at eventide,
Where joys shall never cease.
