Owing to the fact that you have so many

Silver Wedding Bells.

On the evening of Saturday the 18th inst
a large company of relatives and friends
numbering two hundred or more, Joined
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. s. Lemon In celebrat-
ing their twenty-6fth marriage anniversary
at their beautiful home on Beech street In
Bancroft.
On entering, the guests were greet
ed by the host and hostess with warm
hand clasp, and as they passed from room
to room, the word "Welcome" in silver
tinsel smiled down on them from above
each door. The decorations included pretty
festoons Of myrtle entwined with flowers
dropping from the center and caught
up at the corners Of the ceilings,
bouquets of cut flowers in which the
white leaved euphobia made an effective
contrast with its bright hued neighbor.
Ornamental foliage, and blooming plants,
also bespoke the artistic taste of the niece
of the host and hostess, Miss Fannie Card,
who was assisted by Miss Rena Green.
A short but pleasing program was rend-
on the piano by Miss Sackner and Miss
Rena Green, an instrumental duet by the
McCallum sisters, vocal duet by Misses
Jennie and Matte Kirker, vocal solos
given by John Kirker, M. B. Card and
Bush Moore. Miss Leila Kent rected a
we'll chosen selection and little Gladys
Whelan gave very taking recitation.
Mr. aud Mrs. Lemon were the recipients Of
many elegant presents, conspicuous anon g
which was q handsome side board from
Bancroft friends which was placed 10 the
dining room just beneath the dates 1876
| 1900, a beautiful silver tea set from the
Newburg Farmers Club, of which Mr.. and
Mrs. Lemon are members, an elegant sill
yer porcelain cake dish and pretty berry
| dish from the brothers and sisters OF Mr..
Lemon, and cake basket, bread tray, rose
| jar, salad set, berry spoons, several pieces
| of china and great number of small ar
ticles. A souvenir spoon Of unique design
brought by Mrs. Eddy from the Paris ex-
| position excited considerable curiosity. A
lawn swing chair from Roy Lemon, NJ B.
and Manly Card, and Clifford Roys was
much appreciated by the young people.
Supper being announced few partook
OF 1t in the house, but the greater number
preferred the open air and arranged them
selves on the lawn, which was brilliantly
| lighted and decorated with Japanese Ian
terms.
| Among those present from a distance
were Dr. and Mrs. Osborn, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Ingersoll, of Owosso, Mrs. J. Frank
and Mrs. l.. Butler, of Pontiac, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. T. Emme', Howell, two ladies from
England, visitors In the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. d. W. Lewis, of county line south.
| Having spent delightful evening the
guests bade the host and hostess goodnight.
wishing them repetition of the happy
event, celebrated In gold at the expiration

One lamentable fact In connection with
the diplomatic way in which President Nc
Kiney and Secretary Hay have handled the
Chinese question has been overlooked. 1t
all comes, however, from the fact that this
is campaign year. A false party pride
practically deprives about third or more
of all Americans of the privilege of rejoic-
ing that America, the United States, has
won the admiration of the whole civilized
world by the statesmanlike course, the
Straightforward, matchless diplomacy, with
which President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay have acted, and by the behavior Of
American troops under General Chaffee, as
well as bp the course of Minister Conger
1t Is really too bad that the force of cir
cumstancee, the need Of using every trick
to win votes, can prevent democrats from
rejoicing with all Americans who are sin
cere and are not more bound up In their
party than In their country, at the position
which the United States has won.

Then and Now.

A substantial farmer In Eastern Hillsdale
this week sold twenty sheep for 800. In
1894 he sold ninety sheep of about the same
grade for s125. This was a matter of busi-
ness, but 1t borders SO closely to politics
that one cannot help comparing the two
sales. Had the democratic tariff schedule
continued he would have been considerably y
out of pocket, and had the ninety sheep in
1894 been sold under the present conditi ons
he would have realized $3.50 instead of Sl25.

The democrats wish to apply the declara-
ton of independence to Aguinaldo and a
few of his lieutenants abroad but have no
use for its principles in the Carolinas at
home, and can even dispense with them In
their own national convention where they
thot less of their own independence than
they did of bowling meekly to the will of
the Imperial anti-imperislist Bryan.

President Buchanan was not afraid of
being called an expansionist. In at least
three of his annual messages he urged that
Cuba should be made part of the United
States. And In those days before steam
and electricity had brought distant parts of
the world as close together as they are now,
Cuba was as far away from as as are the
Philippines today. And Buchanan was a
democrat, too.

The residence portion covered by this
carrier will be as follows: ALI territory
west of Chapman street and west of the
river north of Oliver street except the
short streets Mack, Morris, and Rob-
bins, already assigned to Carrier No. 8;
in the second ward, Hickory street and
Summit avenue north of Abbott street,
Abbott, Congress from Abbott to King,
Elmwood street. King street east of
Dewey, Dewey from King to Queen,
Queen street, Randolph, Bell, and Gould
streets, Oliver street from Randolph to
city limits. The matter of whether there
will be one or two deliveries a day on
the residence portion of the mounted
carriers district will be optional with
the patrons served to certain extent.
That is to say, if the people residing in
this part of the district, the most of
which has had but one delivery day,
and portion none at all, heretofore,
care enough about having two
deliveries q day to place suitable
box near the side walk in front of their
house so that the carrier can leave the
mail without getting out of his rig, as
is the case already with the rural car
riers, they will be given two deliveries
a day. If such boxes are not placed
where the mail can be left in them
without compelling the carrier to get
out of his mail cart, he will not be re-
auired to make more than one delivery
a day to such places
The above arrangement, it is need
less to say, is as yet quite provisional,
and it is highly probable that when the
work is actually begun on the different
routes that there will have to be vari-
Gus further changes made to equalize
the routes and improve the service.
When the above changes take effect
on September 1st the appointment of
new second substitute will become
necessary, and it may be stated in this
connection that Mr.. Lee r. Clark has
been selected for the position from the
list of the three eligible candidates. Mr.
Clark is a graduate of the Owosso high
school, is member of Company H, and
is a popular and able young man. He
is resident of Shiawassee township
and is son of Mr.. Wellington Clark,
of that township.
