JAN. 13.-On Jan. 18th, 1859, Dilworth
Cross and Ann Hazleton were united in
matrimony by Rev. Benjamin Jones at
Hollisterville, Pa. After fifty years of
welded life it was thought to be right
and proper, by the children, relatives
and friends, to give the aged couple a
surprise in commemoration of the union
created SO long ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cross were former, residents of Dreher,
Wayne county, and some three or four
years ago they moved to Lackawanna
county, near Gouldsboro, where they re-
sided with their son, S. d. Cross, and
under the same roof with Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Surplus. Mrs. Surplus and Mrs.
J. W. Kerr, Of Dreher, are sisters, and
both are daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cross, and IL was by their invitation
tina; some thirty or more relatives and
friends gathered at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Surplus, on January 18th. Those
present from Wayne county were Mr..

Robert Cross and son, Buel, Miss Mary
Cross, Mr. and Mrs. William Hazleton,
Mrs. Louisa Hazleton, Miss Vcrna
Hazlcton, Mrs. J. w. Kerr, son Elgin
and the twins, Ruth and Ralph, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert George, and j. W. Hause.
From Scranton came Mrs. X. NJ. Swartz,
and daughter, Ruth Evelyn, who, by the
way, is great grand daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Cross, Misses Cora and Effie
Kerr, also Miss Nettie Kerr, OF Goulds-
boro Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Smith OF
Coolbaugh, Monroe county. There is an
other great ..grandchild, son OF MFR.
and Mrs. Hugh Surplus, Of Berwick,
Pa, but he was not present. The day
was not agreeable without, but in the
pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. Surplus
there was plenty of warmth and good
feeling, and the time passed all too rap
idly. 1t was a day to be remembered,
for it is not for all of us 70 have golden
weddings, and a few get through life
without being married sat all, at all. -
The feast of good things provided for
the occasion was real treat enjoyed by
all. Mr.. and Mrs. Cross were the recip-
tents of number OF substantial presents

and he enjoyed the meeting. A glance
at the time-piece reminded us that We

people, who are nearing the 80 yeai

meetings. As we wended our way home.

Senate Considers Panama
Libel Suit Today.
SENATOR ACCUSES PRESIDENT.
lays That if He Il Using Courts to
Get Redress For Wrong to
Himself He Is Violat-
ing the Law.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The resolution
introduced by Senator Isidor Rayner
Of Maryland calling on the attorney
general for information concerning the
bringing of the suit for libel against
certain newspapers came up again I'm
the senate today in the presence Of a
crowd which overfiowed the chamber.
Mr.. Rayner said his only purpose
was to get Information whether this
suit had been ordered. whether 1t was
brought at the instance OF the presi-
dent or by whom. under what statute
II had been ordered and by what pow
rr and authority the courts are being
ssed to forward this suit.
The suit which President Roosevelt
X believed to have ordered brought at

tect them from the vengeance of those
in sympathy with the prisoners.
The view of the situation the Night
Rider takes is that he is being perse-
cuted and that the whole world Is
against him. Though the primary OBJ
ject of the Reelfoot band was to seek
justice for their fancied wrongs, aris-
ing out of the restriction of their fish
ing privileges, the organization began
to use its power to vent the personal
spite Of its members, to regulate the
private affairs Of persons for miles
around and to terrorize a broad ex-
panse of country. The band gradually
extended operations to the larger
towns, such as Troy, Dyersburg and
Union City. Then followed the MUIR
der of Captain Rankin. That was the
straw that broke the camel's back.
The people arose in their wrath, the
governor interfered. a grand jury, in
structed by Judge Jones, was got
together. and numerous arrests and in
dictments followed. ending in the trial
that has stirred the state of Tennessee.

under what statute it is being brought,
because we ought to have an opportu-
nifty to repeal that statute on the
ground that it is in violation of the
constitution because it abridges the
freedom of the press.
"1f the attorney general is not pro-
ceeding under some statute then he is
violating the laws Of the country" Mr..
Rayner said.
If the attorney general, continued
Mr.. Rayner. was summoning these
witnesses in circuit court outside of
the District Of Columbia he was abus-
ing the functions of the courts for
''some Interior purpose"
This" declared Mr.. Rayner, lis an
attempted revival of the sedition laws
that happily went out of existence
long ago. There were half dozen per-
sons convicted under the old sedition
fined and imprisoned. But that law is
out of existence, and there is no sedi-
ton law upon the statute books of the
United States"
Mr.. Rayner insisted that he wanted
to know what the attorney general
proposed to do and under what statute
he is acting.
'There is no common law" he said
"that makes the libel of the govern
ment a crime. 1t is not a common law
of England 1t is the statutory law OF
England that makes it crime"
"The District of Columbia" said Mr..
Rayner, adopts the statutes of Mary
land. and there is no such statute in
force in the state of Maryland. No
one can be prosecuted for libeling the
government of the United States or
the president of the United States as
such in any tribunal in Maryland.
''If the president as an individual
conceives that he has been criminally
libeled," said Mr.. Rayner, "he can go
to the district courts and ask for an
investigation before the grand jury
the same as any other Individual. The
department OF justice has nothing to
do with 1t.
IF the president is using the federal
circuit courts or the courts Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia for purposes Of franz
ing proceeding against any one for
libeling him then he is violating the
laws Of the country"

JAN. l5th.-Already 1909 seems quite
familiar, and as we are marching along,
we find it is very much as the preceding
years some are happy, having health
and prosperity, others are prostrated
with sickness, and death has entered
their homes. As our village is known
for old people, two Of the number have
been called away within the last few
weeks, and although they were octogen-
arians they are missed. Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Hitler were men of note and will
still live in the minds of the host OF

widow, who is now somewhat afflicted,
is at present with her daughter, Mrs.
Whitmore, at Inglehart.
