And casts round the office halo of cheer!

Nor, "i'm getting more papers now than j

But always says, "Send it; the family like it
In fact, we all think it real household

How welcome he is when he steps in the

How he makes our heart throb. how he

THE GOLDEN WEDDING
OF Mr.. AND MRS. WIN. PUNTNEY
A Large Crowd Gathers to Assist the
Aged Couple IN Celebrating
the Event.

The golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Puntney was celebrated at
their home February 18th, 1901.
Mrs. Pun'ney's maiden name was
Bogue. They were married at dublin,
Indiana, and came to Winnesheik
county, in May, 1866, and have re-
maiLed here ever since. Their union
has been blessed with seven children,
three sons and four daughters. All of
the children with their families were
present, viz: Frank, of this county;
Clinton, wife and two daughters, of
Bridgewater, s. d.; Mrs. Eva Lange,
husband and son, of Canistota, S. ID. j;
Otto and daughter, of Savage, Neb.
Mrs. Dora Headington, husband and
three daughters, of DEBORAH; Mrs. Lucy
LANCE, husband and son, of Bluffton;
and Mrs. Cora Rose and husband, of
Monroe, S. D.; also MOritz LANCE, of
Button.
Fifty years of married life, journey
of fifty years with the same companion,
sharing each others joys and sorrows,
mutually interested in all things-that
is long time, and such blessing does
not come to many, and it is a pleasure
that the children of such couple
should all come home to share i'm the
celebration of the golden wedding
anniversary. There is something in this
anniversary that seems almost miracu-
lous; during the fifty years that
have interviewed since that first we'd
ding there has not been a death in
their family, nor their children's
families. AS one sees this joyous
meeting of parents and children it calls
to mind "only child again, just for
Tonight and we put away the cares
of life for a time, TO share in the joys
that come to too few on these rare
occasions.
This being golden wedding (not 1f
to y this estimable couple was re-
membered by being presented with the
following elegant and useful presents
One goldtrimmed silver tea set of six
pieces, one gold-trimmed silver cake
basket, four gold watches with chains,
gold wedding ring, one gold Masonic
watch charm, one gold breach set with
pearls, one gold clock, two golden oak
easy chairs, one box cigars, one sofa
pillow embroidered with gold, one
gold-trimmed china fruit dish, and one
box bonbons. With these tokens OF
remembrance cluster many pleasant
recollections Of the givers, and when
the shadows grow long they will look
back to this time as one of the most
pleasant in their lives.
Covers were laid for twenty-six.
The decorations were in green and gold.
1t is impossible to mention the many
good things to eat, or paint you a
picture of the table and it's contents.
Mr.. Puntney was heard to remark that
with so many good wishes he should
start toward the diamond anniversary
with more courage than ever. At the
conclusion of this bountiful repast roll
was called and each responded with g
