With Great Success.

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Lille of this city, and there are few
who are not friends of the estimable
couple, rejoice with them in the cele-
bration of their golden wedding which
was held in the Methodist church. The
original plan of the promoters OF the
celebration was to have it in the home
of the couple, but with the assembling
of the names of those who would want
to be present and would feel sighted
if they were not, it was found that the
house would not hold even small
part of them, so it was decided with
the consent of the authorities OF the
Methodist church to have the celebra-
ton there.
Early in the evening the party as
sembled at the church and arranged
everything for the reception OF the
bridal couple and when they arrived
Mrs. Lille was decorated with
golden crown and Mr.. Lille was pre-
scented with a golden boquet and the
couple was then presented as guests OF
the evening, the entire assemblage
joining in singing ''Praise God from
whom all blessings fow.'
Several short congratulory adj
dresses were made, the first by Rev.
C. H. Sauter, pastor of the Methodist
2 church and then by a number OF the
3 visitors, all expressive of the sincere
+ regard in which Mr.. and Mrs. Lille
3 are held by this entire community II

BROWN COUNTY BOY IS POPULAR
Joe Cutting is Guest of Honor at
Minneapolis Function.

Probably as result of his success
on the girdiron this season and per-
haps as favorite of the young lady

more likely because he deserves it,

McCurdy gave a dancing party last
evening at her home, 1915 Seventh St.

Congregational church tomorrow even

what in advance Of the proper time but
circumstances have made it so that the
date was the only before or after
Christmas that could be suited to the
convenience of all.
There will be tree and the usual

Much is made of the Christmas season
by the people of this church and the
Youngsters of the Sunday School look

The beauty of the whole affair is
that it was a complete surprise to the
couple, though they knew that it was
the anniversary of their wedding and
were expecting some of their relatives
to be with them on the occasion there
was no intimation of the splendid tri-
butte to their long and useful life that
was being arranged for them and when
they were taken to the church and in
troduced to the people who had
gathered the exhibition of so much
love and the expression of SO much
good will from those who had known
the couple for lifetime, touched them
both and moistened their eyes with
tears that come only as the result of
an appreciation deep and sincere
though otherwise unsurpassed.
Mrs. Lille was born in Germany,
Feb. 81, 1884 and Mr.. Little was born
in the same country in June, 1885, both
came to this country in their early
youth and met in St. Peter in 1855 and
were married the same year. Previous
to this Mr.. Little had located a claim
the one on which his son now lives, ir
Lafayette, and to that he took his
bride and that has been the home o
the couple until in later years the.
have made their home in this city.
There are very few people, especially
in this western country who can sa,
that they have spent half century il
one place continuously and also fe,
who have lived to celebrate thei

of this couple rejoice with them in tn
fact that they can still look forwar
