On last Saturday while Mr.. &.
Fl. Unger and his estimablc wife,
of Ayr township, were following
the even tenor of their ways-the
former blowing and the latter pre-
pairing the MONDAY meal-they
were little surprised to see
few of their neighbors approach
ing their home, but the real thing
was when from all points of the
compass, friends and neighbors ar
rived. 1t was about this time by
the clock, that Mrs. Unger recall
ed the Fact that it was their twen-
tieth wedding anniversary; and
she also recalled some unusual ma.
neuvers of their sister, Miss Jane
Unger, who had planned to cele-
brate their China Wedding.
So we'll was the plan laid and ex-
ecuted, it was truly a success in
every way. In a little while about
fifty guests had arrived, and soon
sumptuous dinner was served,
which 1t goes without saying, all
enjoyed. The social enjoyments
of the afternoon were lnterspersed
with many fine selections from Mr..
Unger's new phonograph and sew
eral ladies at organ. all of
which were highly appreciated.
A large and handsome collection
of china was left to remind MIR.
and Mrs. Unger of the good will
of their friends and neighbors.
AS the sun was nearing the west
ern horizon adieus were said and a
happy company dispersed, feeling
it a day long to be remembered.

eight others-at the hinds of the
writer near the mill, once owned
by Major D. d. Mellott.
The good people of that section
of the county owe debt of graft

hope they will pay by living the
true Christian life. Without the
assistance and counsel of our de

they would not have the beautiful
