THEIR CRYSTAL WEDDING.
Mir and Mrs. G. A. Dobson Entertained
 Saturday Evening.


 MT. and Mrs. George A. Dobson very i appropriately celebrated their crystal | wedding. the fifteenth anniversary of | their marriage. by entertaining in the i neighborhOOd of a hundred friends at | their lovely country home, southeast | of the city.
 The occasion was one that will long l be remembered by those who were for l tunate enough to be present, for MT. i and Mrs. Dobson spared no pains to
 make the evening pleasant for the l guests. and in this respect they were 1 highly successful. The early part of ! the evening was spent in music and l conversation, but about ten o'clock the | assembled guests were seated facing | the door that opened from the parlor
 onto the spacious porch. It was here l that the ceremony was to be performed by the Rev. c. P. Wilson. Rev. Wilson was in an unusually happy and jov- ial frame of mind. He is always happy and good natured, but on this occasion he was humorous to a degree where it was almost contagious, and ere the ceremony was over everyone was l laughing. At the appointed time the bride and groom of fifteen years ap- peared before the minister who an nOunced to the guests that in accord ance with custom he wished to know whether there were any objections to
 the ceremony being performed. 'If so.' said he, speak now, or forever after hold your peace" There were objections, strenuous ones. on the part of some of those present. One insisted that Mir. DobsOn had been neglectful in more ways than one during the past fifteen years. He had. at times, so far forgot himself that he left his wife to do the homework mornings while he went in the field to work; it was inti- mated that he was guilty of many other crimes of a nature equally as serious. It was said, almost in a whisper. that for the past two years he had been receiving letters-think of it. Post master Hodnett was called upon to corroborate the accusation. He was able to do so, and added that some of the letters were in feminine hand writing. There was much more of a like character; all good, wholesome fun. The bride and groom were prop eIly embarra assed, and the guests en- joyed it immensely. All objections having been properly adjusted, the contracting parties signified their will ingness to continue for the next fifteen years or more as they had in the past fifteen. They then received the con gratulations of those present, and sup per was announced.
 To properly describe that supper would take up too much space. It is sufficient to say that there was plenty of everything, and the second table fared equally as well as the first The table was placed outside on the porch and covered almost its entire length Those who partook the sumptuous spread were: MT. and Mrs. c.
