The Rockford Register of last week
contains column write-up of the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. s. p.
Briggs, who for quarter of century
lived in Bloomfield township, this
county. We quote part of the article:
Fifty years ago this week, little
country paper published in Wisconsin,
had the following marriage notice:
'Married-At hartford, Wis, August
A, 1850, Miss Julia W. Palmer to
Seymour p. Briggs Halt century
has slipped away and the passing
years, after bringing the joys and the
troubles common to humanity to these
good friends, found them last Saturday
with fifty years of happy married life
to their credit, and in the enjoyment
of those calm and peaceful days when
the fret of living is over, life's heavy
responsibilities laid down and tn irs
all the pleasures of a serene and peace
full old age, cheered and frightened by
the affection of loving children and
the consultations of religion. To have
raised family of eight children
worthily and well; to have them all
occupying most honorable and respect
able positions in society, is no small
honor, and for these aged parents to be
the recipients of the loving sOlicitude
and regard of such children as the
hair grows silvered and the Steps grow
feeble is the most complete and fitting
reward for parental duty well done in
the years gone by.
A unique and pleasing feature Of the
occasion was the marriage at noon or
the same day, of Mr.. w. E. Briggs
the youngest son of the family, t.
Miss Lena Summers, the young couple
sharing jointly with the older ones
the congratulations of the friends
present.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Chas. COLI.

Sudden Death OF Mrs. ChaS. G0lz.
Mrs. Caroline COLI passed away at
her home in this city last Friday
morning at four o'clock from apoplexy
and paralysis Her health was as
good as usual until noon Thursday,
when she commenced to feel poorly.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
she spoke to her daughter about feeling
ill, and said she would lie down, and
started for her bedroom, but before
reaching it she sunk to the floor
exhausted. She was gently lifted and
carried to her bed and her husband at
once came to her bedside but found her
unable to speak. DR.. Barfoot was
Immediately called and found her left
side paralyzed, and nothing could be
done to relieve her. She passed away
at 400 a. m. Friday morning. Mrs.
COLI was nearly rs years of age, and
came to this country with her husband
in 1853, settling at Davenport. -Four
years later, in 1857, they moved to
DEBORAH, where they have lived during
all these years. The funeral services
were held from the home Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. M.
Willett officiating. The grief stricken
family has the sympathy of the entire
community.

TO ANOTHER PACKED HOUSE.
The Van Dyke & Eaton Company
Please Another Large Audience.

despite the hot and threatening
weather and the may other attrac-
tiOns in the city, there was large
audience at Greene's opera house.
which thoroughly enjoyed the very
excellent entertainment given by the
Van Dyke & Eat company. A Sec
ond night audience is taken as the test
of excellence. Measured in this way
it is evident that the Cedar Rapids
public has not forgotten this splendid
company and that 1t has lost none of
its popularity.
1t is an evenly balanced aggregation
of excellent talent, not conspicuous for
any individual brilliancy, but conspicu-
Gus by the absence of anything medi-
OGRE Indeed the smoothness of the
productions, the intelligent reading,
the unbroken sequence in the detail
of stage work suggest hat the plays
of Sheridan and Goldsmith might not
suffer in such hands.
The specialties last night were fully
up to the high standard of the previous
evening, without repetition of any
feature previously seen. This pleasing
variation the management promises to
continue throughout the week. "Across
the Trail' is the bill for this evening"
The above is clipping from the
Cedar Rapids Republican, concerning
the popular Van Dyke & Eaton Co.,
which played at Greene's opera house,
the finest theatre in Iowa, all last
week. They will be at the Grand in
this city all next week, and we feel
safe in stating that they are one of the
very finest repertoire companies on the
road. We congratulate the manage
ment upon securing this excellent com
pany, and hope that at the opening o
the season our beautiful play house
will be filled from pit to dome.
