prise party, it being the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of their marriage. Their two sons, Prof:
Guy e. Snavely and DIR. Earl Snavely, had
come home and having been apprised of
the coming of the folks. had, with the aid
of Miss Daisy Hofmeister, succeeded in keep
ing the matter a secret and bad engaged the
bride and groom in game OF dnminoes so
that the crowd was at the front door at about
8 o'clock and it proved genuine surprise TO
them. To be intruded upon by fifty people
swarming into your house with baskets and
parcels is enough to take ones breath away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Snavely were told that they were
the guests of the evening and after SILVER ser.
vice had been presented to them. on oehalf OF
those present, in a neat and witty speech by
Mr.. Elmer R. Halle, a bountiful table was
spread by the ladies and all did justice to the
good things Mr. Halle, in his address, COM
plimented the bride on her young looks and
said if it was not for the bald spot on the top
of the groom's head he would say to them, get
married all over again." DR.. Snavely is one
of the physicians at the State Insane Asylum
at Sykesville and is very much pleased with
the work being done there for the patients.
This institution is conducted on much better
plan than Spring Grove, as the patients are in
cottages and are not restrained by cells or bars.
They are allowed the freedom of the fine farm
of 700 acres.

farmers who held back until after the cold

usual way and planted early. The cold, late
