pupils of the schools, and a fair number
of citizens, gathered at the NJ. E. church
and formed a column at 0 a. m. in the

orders and Lincoln's Gettysburg address
by Adjutant Chandler, recitations of ap-
propriate, patriotic selections by the little
folks and an unique superbly executed
flag drill by the school in the village
taught by Miss Cook were rendered.
The Rev. E. S. Vradenburgh delivered
an address far out of the beaten tracks
of such efforts, that attracted and held
the closest attention for a half hour,
We may say without being guilty of
flattery that it was one of the best of Its
kind we ever heard. 1t was so good
that the Post by unanimous vote asked
for its publication. Interspersed through
the exercises choice music was furnished
by the choir. The singing of America
by the choir and audience and benedlc-
/ tion by the pastor closed the exercises.
/ Graves of veterans in the Calvin, Gee
and Cushman cemeteries were decorated
/ by details made by Post Commander

The Band Concert.

There was very large crowd out
Monday night, notwithstanding the bad
weather to listen to the first concert by
the Middlebury cornet band, who played
in the bandstand in the park. The
selections were good and the work for a
new band especially mertorious. y tray

anything but proud of her band even If
it was new band and had had but
little practise. Give the boys the en-.

Golden Wedding.

On Wednesday, December 81, L.
w. Neatherlin and wife celebrated
the fftieth anniversary of their mar
rage at their home northeast of the
city. We believe that this is the
J first golden wedding wei celebrated
in the Pecos Valley, and they are not
numerous in any land.
On this happy occasion Mr.. and
Mrs. Neatherlin had with them their
eight children, all grown, nearly all
of their grandchildren of which they
have twenty-five, and one great
grand-child: Mesdames ]. P. Stone,
Alice Angel, Albert Lee, Jessie Lee
and Dorsey Champion and Albert
Spiva and Earl Neatherlin, while the
only invited guests were Rev. and
Mrs. S. r. Twitty and Mayor j. F.
Hinkle. They were the recipients of
many elegant and appropriate pres
ents.
The wedding dinner was all that
could have been wished, and was du-
ly appreciated by all. Seated at one
table were Mr.. and Mrs. Neatherlin
and their eight children, the first
time in a number Of years that they
had all beer together. At another ia
BILE were the invited guests and sons
in-law, while the grandchildren wait
ed upon the tables.
After dinner the grandchildren en-
tertained the elders with songs and
recitations that were both appropri-
ate and well rendered. Miss Emma
Stones rendition of 1.-The Diamond
Wedding" is deserving of special men

are few who so much deserve such

very enjoyable dance last evening in
honor of their young gentlemen

Schumaker's Orchestra had been en-
gagged to furnish the music: but on
account of Prof. Schumaker's inabili-
ty to return to the city, the remain
ing members of the orchestra failed
to keep the engagement. This was
certainly a nice predicament to leave
the young ladies in, but they hustled
around and secured Westberry's or

music from Ii until 2.30 O'Clock.
