Mr.. and Mrs. n. Garrison In this village
to celebrate the 50th anniversary Of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. I. N. Cum

ct South Paris, Maine, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cummings were married. They came to
Wisconsin In 1885, settling in the south
part of the town of Plainfeld, where
they still reside. During these years
the quiet honorable lives of these old
people have won the esteem and friend
ship Of all who know them. Their de-
clining years are comforted BY the kind
ly acts Of three loving children; Mrs.
lnez Cook of South Hancock, Mrs. NJ.
Garrison of this village, and Edgar Cum
mings of North Lake, Wis. The latter,
though unable to be present, sent .
valuable gift of gold coin to which
friends made liberal additions until a
handsome purse resulted. Though
many other tokens were presented and
most heartily appreciated, the purse
showed the practical thOughtfulness OF
the donors. Mrs. Cook was also unable
to be present. Mrs. Herrick and daugh-
ter and Mrs. Thurston, of Plainfield,
were the only ones present from dis.
lance, though letters of congratulations
were received from absent friends and
read to the company. Exchange Of
