Mr.. John Penney and wife celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
marriage at their pleasant home in
Knox, March, 18th. "Sech'' a crowd
over one nunuluu guests were present
and sech nice bountiful supper: pies,
cakes, baked beans, and coffee. And
how they did eat! Never got the long
tables cleared away before twelve, and
they began,refreshing the inner man by
dark. Some of the boys had to have a
second supper. The gifts were numer-
Gus and pretty. A number contributed
and bought nice Morris chair. Others
bought smaller but prettier chair and
parlor lamp. The smaller gifts con-
sisted of pieces of china, glassware,
towels, print and silverware. A num-
Der gave money-in all amounting to
about $50. After supper Elder Gordon
proceeded to recement the happy pair,
using the ring service. Next on the
program was the reading by Ralph W.
Emerson of the following anniversary
poem, written by Myra W. Emerson:
Twenty five years have passed away
Since we launched our bark on wediOck
bay,
But did not fear for she said, said she
"Where the breakers are Pll take care O.
So l courage took when the waves dashed
high
And the heavens frowned for remembered
Her cheering words, for she could not lie.
But who's to navigate this craft?
Scan yOu," says she, as she sOrter laughed,
"You may captain be and l first mate"
And her answer suited me first rate.
For it suits man for to have his way
When he launches forth on wedlock bay.
And she's kept her word, tho she don't
obey
AS they promise to on their wedding day,
But never wife was more kind and true
And willing more than her part to do.
twenty-five years; can it really be,
Since Abbie b took pity on me?
For she said, eff don't,if | don't, said she,
There's no other gal as would marry We,
But | only smiled, tho it made me mad
AS it would most any conceited lad
Who creased his hair and his mustache too
Especially when he knows it's true.
But ! only said, "when l hitch to you
There are lots of gals as will be some blue"
She said, show strange" but she sot the
day
That set us adrift on wedlock bay.
Some calls this life but a vale of tears,
But I'd like to retrace these twenty-five
years,
For tho our lives have known some pain
And toll and tears, would like again
To float right back to my wedding day,
For the seas were smooth most of the way.
But we've pitched our tent where the tall
trees grew
Most cleared the land, hard job, too,
But our home at last is near complete
With .graphophone, organ and pattering
feet,
That music make on the kitchen floor,
Though some have passed to return no

Since praised her so to this tony crowd
She stands out there with hair curl,
You'd mistake her sure for my eldest girl,
While tho my hair is little gray
Stood the trip quite fair on wedlock bay.
But we want to thank you, kind friends dear,
For the handsome gifts you've brought US
here

THE LAST ACT IN THE CIVIL WAR.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
The closing scenes at Appomattox
courthouse were fit ending of the last
campaign in the Civil War; 1t fell to
the lot of the goth Maine to be in the
last act. 1t followed Sheridan with the
cavalry while endeavoring to pass to
the left of Lees army. In this earnest
pursuit occurred the long days march
from ) in the morning until midnight,
when it seemed that the men could
march no longer-only the sound of
Sheridan's cannon in front kept them
in motion. Men fell out by the wayside
unable to march farther, but the next
morning found the stragglers all in line
and ready for battle. The men moved
out at o'clock to the sound of battle
in front. Gray clouds hid the morning
sun as the column emerged from the
woods into the open country about the
then unknown little courthouse village,
destined to become historic. To the
front, half mile away, was low hill
skirted with trees which hid the village.
AS the Fifth Corps swung into line of
battle and shook out their colors the
sun broke through the clouds. On this
open field stood more than twenty
thousand men in line of battle. 1t was
an inspiring sight, even to old veterans.
Soon large body of cavalry came gal
Looping from the left across the field
! toward the right. In front of them on
a black horse rode Sheridan at swift
gallop. 1t was the same long, powerful
strides of the black horse that carried
victory to Cedar Greek. Soon was seen
emerging from the woods in front an
! officer in Confederate uniform, waving
a white flag. Almost instantly wild
shout went up from the men. lee sur
renders Lee surrendersw An angel
| from heaven shining as the sun could
have meant no more than that mounted
officer with his piece of white cloth did
to the men. 1t meant the final triumph
of the Army of the Potomac after four
years of severe struggle, often mixed
with bitter defeat 1t meant honor,
instead of shame; prosperity and peace
instead of peril and disaster. For this
a thousand battles had been fought and
hundreds of thousands of men slain.
Not one of the old veterans doubted
but what it was the close of the war,
and to them it meant home and friends.
This officer with his white flag turned
and rode to the right, followed by
shouts. General Chamberlain with his
old brigade was chosen to receive the
arms and colors of Lees army. When
this was done the men who had fought
US for four long years marched to their
homes without arms or colors or music.
The Twentieth Maine took a promi-
nent part in this, the last act in the
Civil War. A. S,

Beginning on Tuesday, April 2, 1907, a
two weeks course in Practical Poultry
Work and Horticulture will be given under
the guidance of the College of Agriculture
This course is to aid those persons who
wish practical knowledge along these lines
and who cannot afford the time necessary
such as the handling of incubators, brooders,
care and feeding of young chicks, and the
management OF laying Dir DIS will be supple
mented each day by lectures and discus
sions on poultry subjects. The equipment

The four days of practical agricultural in
structiOn during farmers Week which be-
gan March IL, and ended March 10, was
given by the College of Agriculture as
means of further helping the farmers of
this State. Attendance at this course was
beyond all expectation: one hundred and
sixteen farmers representing thirteen
counties registered for this course. The
commingling of so many men interested in a
great many lines of agriculture was bound
to bring out an exchange of ideas which
would prove of value. 1t was the unani-
nous request of those 10 attendance that
similar course of instruction be given next
year. With this view, the meeting ad-
Journed Friday afternoon and the delegates
returned 10 their homes feeling we'll repaid
for the time spent in the four days course Of
agricultural instruction at the University of
