 five Years of Welded Life.


 been performed at the home of Wm.
 Passey by MT. Passey, who was then
 bishop of the Mesa ward It was the
 first wedding that the bishop had ever
 performed, and 1t vas a fitting and
 pleasant sequel that he should have
 officiated again last night when MT.
 and Mrs. Stewart celebrated their
 twenty fifth anniversary. MT and
 Mrs. Stewart drove from Phoenix to
 be married in 1885, and returned again
 the same night They lived there un-
 til 1887, when they moved to the
 Gem City and have resided here ever
 since Mrs. Stewart is the daughter
 of Mir and Mrs. Timothy Nets and is
 a well-known Mesa woman having
 come to this country in 1882. Mir.
 Stewart has been here since 1879, and
 is also well known over the valley
 Last night in response to the invi-
 tation issued there gathered a group
 of old friends, most of whom have
 lived in Mesa as many years as has
 the Stewart family. The lawn vas
 hung with Japanese lanterns and un-
 der the trees chairs had been placed to accommodate the assembled guests
 The porch was prettily draped with flags and red, white and blue bunting,
 while an archway of greens and flow
 CTS had been erected for the bridal
 party to stand under. Promptly at
 9 o'clock. with Mir and Mrs. J. G. Peterson as attendants. the bride and groom appeared on the porch, and once again the ceremony binding them as man and wife was performed. This time. however. there was no need for BishoF Passey to send for his ritual book, as had been done at his first ceremony twenty-five years before.
 Mrs. Stewart wore a dress of grey messaline satin. with a pattern in siI very grey raised in the weave. The yoke of the dress was cream white net embroidered in silver, and the combination was particularly effect I've and appropriate. After the cere- mony some of the guests present in- sisted on kissing the bride and con- gratuiattons were offered the happy pair. Pretty young ladies in dainty white costumes served delicious re- treatments to the assemblage, and speeches and social conversation was the order of the evening It was very late before the guests departed with best wishes and many thanks to their newly hosts.
