From Lily.

The amiable postmaster of Lily, was
pleasantly surprised by a large part3
last Friday evening. The occa6or
being~the anniversary of HIS birthday.
About forty took possession Of Mr.
Esget's home and demonstrated to him
that he was f~orty-seven and that the
best wishes of the town were with him.
For fear he would think the next dag
that he had enjoyed a nightmare, the
party left something substantial behind
in the shape of an Office chair, an office
lamp, and other gifts.
Mrs. Esget spread a bountiful repast
and Publication reigned supreme until
the wee hours of morning.-Bradley

A Golden Wedding.

One of those pleasant but rare affairs
occurred yesterday when Ludwig H6we
and Friedrich (Krueger) Huwe cele-
brated the fftieth anniversary of their
marriage at the home Of their son,
Albert, three miles southwest of Bris-
tol.
The couple came from B~reitenstein,
Province of Posen, Germany, "a years
ago. Of nine sons who are living,
eight were present, II being absent on
account of sickness. Thirty-owo grand
children are alive and three are dead.
A short service led by Rev. e. @. I'll.
Peithmann, was followed by an address
in, English by Hon. j. H. Lund. The
occasion, as well as celebrating the
wedding anniversary, marked the COM
pletion of Mr.. Huwe's 10th year. Both
are strong and in good health, and with
q host of their friends we hope that
they may live to see their diamond we'd
ding chronicled.

Edward Gray, was arrested
charged with the killing of Mrs. Jewell
at Henry last week, he being the man
who set off the explosion to cause her
death. He was charged with man
slaughter in the second degree and held
to the circuit court in $500. 90 bail, which
he furnished and went home. 1t doesn't
s9em as though the charge and the
amount of bail were very much in
harmony. There is small show of ever
convicting him of the crime as itappears
to be a simple accident. -Watertown

We are informed by w. L. Gray, the

reduced to $3.50, and the boy put up a

The tWenty-third annual meeting of
the National Afro-American Press AS
ISOLATION was held at Pilgrim Baptist
church, st. Paul, Mimi, on Monday,
July 7th. and was one of the best
meetings of the association. The at
tendance was quite large, including
a number of the veterans who are al

the association which were made by
the members of the church, were very

After short informal discussion the

An address on the history of Afro
American journalism was delivered at
the afternoon session by John G.. Dancy
of the District of Columbia. Mr.. Dancy
gave an interesting account of the work

said that the colored writer's are doing
much to educate their people, as well as
to obtain for them a hearing before the
public. ~ 49,. s..... IT.

posed it's adoption or the ground that no
