William II. Moody, secretary of the navy
in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, is
one Of the closest of the presidents official
advisers. During his service in congress as
a representative from Massachusetts he
drew to himself attention from the leaders
Of his party by his quiet but aggressive
measures, his clear reasoning and the
soundness of his position on questions be
fore congress. He is especially fitted to
deal with matters affecting the navy by
reason of his life having been spent in a
seaport town, where not only his sym
pathy but his faculties were enlisted for
those who go down to the sea in ships
He has proven already that his selection
was no mistake and that in him the navy
has an earnest but conservative champion
and advocate under whose administration
it's affairs will prosper and its interests be
safely guarded. Secretary Moody very
recently made a short tour of the west,
coming as far as Omaha, where he de-
livered an address to the voters.

Again The Bee has the pleasure of pre-
senting the pictures of two estimable
couples who have answered the question,
as marriage a failure?" Ripe Frerichs,
born May 81, 1881, in Upstede, Prussia,
Germany, and Eta Frerichs, born December
26, 1927, in Friedeburg, Germany, were
married at Friedeburg, Prussia, Germany,
September 2S, 1852, and came to America in
1862 and settled at Dixon, III. Here they
resided until 1868, when they moved to
Monticello, Ia, and from this place they
moved to Lemars, Ia, in 1873, and then to
Coleridge, Neb., in 1885, at which place
they are still living on a nice farm. There
were eight children born to them, of which
four are living, who were present at their
golden wedding, September 2S, 1902. Tween
ty-two grandchildren and one great grand
child were also present. They are MEMBERS
Of the German Lutheran church of Cole
ridge and, according to the rites of the
church, the golden wedding ceremony was
performed by Rev. f. Hefner, the pastor of
the church, who presented them with a gol-
den certificate. They are hale and hearty
and have the promise of many years to live.
John E. Gillespie and wife of Atlantic, Ia,
celebrated their fftieth wedding anniversary
on Tuesday, October Z, 1902. They were
welded in Ottumwa fifty years ago, Mrs.
Gillespie's maiden name being Miss Lydia
Hedrick. A son, Frank Gillespie of Colo
RADIO Springs, and a daughter, Mrs. c. c.
Lindner of Oskaloosa, were present at the
celebration. A large company of friends
called upon the happy couple during the day
to extend congratulations. Mr.. Gillespie
was born near Cincinnati in 1929 and is
70 years old. His wife was born near In
dianapolis in 1884 and is 6S years old. They
have lived in Atlantic since 1871 and are
counted among the most honored and re-
spected citizens of the community, where
they have long been prominent in society
and the affairs of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
