One OF the most important and inter-
esting social functions occurred Oh Satur-

Mr.. G.. T.. Marsh, of Bristol. The oc-
casion was the observance of the golden
wedding of his parents, Mr. and Mrs
Daniel Marsh, of Lisbon, North Dakota
The invitations were dainti1y printed in
gold letters, with the legend !" no pres
ents." Many regrets came from those
who were far away, but many guests
gladly accepted the cordial invitation and
were present and enjoyed the happy
event
The principal feature of the program
appeared to be the wedding feast which
was served about one O'Clock in the after
noon, and it was really golden event
Tables were set in different rooms and all
the guests were seated. The viands we're
toothsome and delicious. The tables
we're decorated with golden-colored
chrysanthemums and richly -hued autumn
leaves.
