l MT. and Mrs. J. F. Haigler celebrat- eo the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding Saturday evening at their home. five miles southeast of Tempe. and about eighty guests were | present to assist in the festivities re- lative to the occasion. After the arri- val of the guests an hour was spent 1 in social conversation and in viewing and admiring the numerous presents. | following which all assembled in the parlor to witness the ceremony which was performed by Rev. F.. G. Decker of kingman. He began by stating that 1 there would be a slight alteration in | the ceremony from the one performed twenty-five years ago. the bride think l ing that she had lived up to the word ''obey' for twenty-five years was en- | titled to a change. The word obey was therefore omitted in the ceremony. | and MT. Haigler assented with falter- ] ing words and some hesitation, 'tis l true to the following obligations: T do solemnly promise that I will arise each morning not later than 4:30, will split the kindling, start the fire and prepare breakfast
 Mrs. Haigfer then joyfully assented to the following: q do solemnly prom ise that I will darn his socks, feed and | take care of the chickens and arise each morning in time for breakfast" | Key. Decker then congra tulated them | upon their twenty-five years of happy married life. and after few more re- marks on the subject called upon Dr. Mouer. The doctor, however, scarcely ! arose to the occasion. He said he could do better after supper. Carl Hay ! den then responded. He remarked that l he had come to the conclusion during the evening that some day he would | have a silver wedding of his own This i decision, however, was brought about ! by the presents received. This con- cluded the ceremony in the parlor 1 The guests were then escorted to the i dining-room, where lovely wedding | supper was served. The wedding cake 1 deserves special mention. It was made | by Mrs. Beck and was as large as sev- eral ordinary cakes and printed with colored icing on top were the years 1 "1S7S-1903.' .''
