NEVER before, perhaps, in the history
of Wisconsin has golden wedding at
tracted so much attention from one end
of the state to the other as is directed
to that of Mr.. and Mrs. William Demp-
ster Hoard of Fort Atkinson, Jefferson
county, which was quietly celebrat-
ed at the home of the happy couple on
Wednesday. The Ex-Governor is rec
ognized as man who has lived we'll
rounded life and in more than one di-
rection contributed to the upbuilding of
the commonwealth. He was volun-
teer soldier in the war for the Union.
He has been and continues to be con-
spicuous member of the editorial fra
ternity. He was not the originator of
the idea of diversified farming and ro-
tation of crops, nor did that idea origi-
nate in Wisconsin or in the generation
to which he belongs; but he impressed
it upon Wisconsin people at a time
when it was particularly needed. He
and the late Hiram Smith deserve more
than any other two men the credit of
having led the movement which has
brought Wisconsin to the front as
dairy state, to the enrichment of the
farmers of Wisconsin as class. His
only public office for some time past
has been that of regent of the state
university. Possessed of ample means
which he has procured by his own in
telligent eXertions, surrounded by
family extending to the fourth genera
ton, rich in the esteem and good wishes
of his fellow men, and still in the en-
joyment of firm health, the reward of
a temperate and Industrious life, the
Ex-Governor is blessed with the COM
panionship of the wife of his youth, and
the occurrence on Wednesday of the
fiftieth anniversary of their wedding is
naturally subject for congratulations.
