Golden Wedding.

On May 8 there was very pleasant
gathering at the residence of their SON
in-law, Mr.. E. H. Kemper, 2O9 south
Fairfax street, assembled to celebrate
the golden wedding of Major and Mrs.
John w. Green. There were present
all of the children and grandchildren
with the exception of their Oldest son,
Mr.. VIM. McA. Green and wife, who
were prevented from being present, much
to the regret of all. Numbers of friends
called during the day to wish the bride
and groom of fifty years many more
happy years before the last call should
come to break the tie so dear to those
who have for better or worse pledged
their lives one to the other. The best
wishes ofmany friends were accompanied
by golden tokens in various shapes and
designs. Among some to be mentioned
was large basket of beautiful golden
oranges tied with golden ribbon sent by
the circle Of Kings Daughters, of which
Mrs. Green is president. AT l p. m,
the procession formed, headed by
the "bride and groom" and followed by
the children and grandchildren and dear
intimate friends, to the number oftwenty-
two, passed to the dining room and sat
down to regular old Virginia dinner,
the room being beautifully decorated
with flowers, golden colorpredominating,
over the table being draped the Confed-
crate, British and American flags. After
partaking of the bountiful spread, Mr.
J. Johnston Green arose and in few APP
propriate remarks presented to the
father a golden-headed cane and to the
mother a golden-headed umbrella from
the children and grandchildren, with the
wish that the slight tokens to commemo-
rate the occasion might lend protection
and support during the remainder of
their lives.
