AN OLD MoNTcoMEnrAN.


 Just twenty-five years ago this first of August. Mir. Thos. J. Burton was married to Miss Mary Hale. both of this city, and left for Texas, and has since made that his home. He was master car builder at the old Central of Geor- gia shops (that were here then) for nine years, and gave up his position to go to Texas, and is still holding respon- sible position with the Texas Central. No doubt his many old friends will read the following. clipped from The Fort Worth Register, with interest: 'Mr and Mrs T. J. Burton request the honor of your presence at their twenty fifth wedding anniversary, at their home on South Rusk Street, Thursday. August 1, 1901" Such were the invitations issued to a number of intimate friends of this most estimabIe couple. In accepting it, they found the cozy little home beautifully decorated with palms and cut-fiowers. and every where could be seen the artistic handi- work of the charming hostess. On a table in the hall was displayed the many beautiful presents, and standing amidst a group of palms was the love ly daughter of the house, Miss Mazie. who served nectar to each guest. De- licious refreshments were served on quartet tables during the evening by Mrs. Clare Wilson and Mrs. w. Taylor. Vocal and instrumental music added much to the pleasure of the occasion.
 Mrs. Burton was most becomingly att tired in dress of white chiffon. and the ladies of the house party were at tired in handsome evening dresses. It was truly a happy evening, and as each and every guest departed, they wished they might live to celebrate the golden weddingA
