The largest and most interesting
event of last week was the golden we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Silas
Rain. which was celebrated Saturday
evening at their home at 111s Van

delightfully."- cool that the numerous
electric fans scattered through the
rooms were scarcely needed.

were several couples who have already
celebrated their fftieth anniversary;
they were Mr.. and Mrs. George Bates.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Fisher, Mr.. and Mrs. T. L.
Ross and Mr.. and Mrs. Markley. Mrs.
Rains niece. Mrs. Chase of Elkhart,
Ind, also received with them.
The parlor where the guests were re-
ceived was decorated in green and gold.
Across one corner was a bank of palms
and ferns, dotted with incandescent
lights, and extending from the top of
the bank to the ceiling were strands of
smilax to the chandelier. The mantle
was banked with ferns and filed in
with vivid yellow nasturtiums. Mrs
Rain wore pretty costume of white
batiste deliberately trimmed with black
lace applique. Sweet peas were used in
the dining room and pink poppies in
the library. The banisters were wound
with garlands of smilax
over the porch entrance. nesting in a
bed of asparagus was the mum Der So
formed Of incandeseent lights. The
space between the Rain home and that
of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Crane on the
north, was carpeted and a row of chairs
placed down either side and there re-
freshments were served during the ev-
ening. The walls were almost entirely
covered with masses of asparagus ana
dotted with tiny lights, producing a
charming appearance. The back yard
was also prettily decorated; in one cor
ner Steinberg's orchestra played dur
ing the evening and near by was d
dainty punch table presided over by
Miss Helen Quinton Miss Fay Quinton,
Miss Louise Allison. Miss Ethel Morton.

who had Consumption in an advanced

ALL Souls DaY,

All Souls is in the calendar OF the
Church of Rome, but not of the English.
On this day, tomorrow, November 2,
they commemorate the faithful departed
this life, and special prayer is made for
those souls which are undergoing IN an
intermediate state such a purgatorial
cleansing from sin by means of punish
ment. Many members of the church of
England hold the doctrine in modified
form. A pleasing custom connected
with All Souls day, prevalent on the
Continent of Europe, is likely to become
a more frequent practice here, now that
cemeteries have superseded the old
church yards-namely, that OF placing
wreath's of flowers or immortelles on the
graves of the departed.

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. "A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning yell
low. His skin slowly changed color, al
so his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy, and he writes: CATER
