twenty fifth anniversary of their we'd

den, took full charge OF their home
for that day, the women occupying
the culinary department and the men
the other portions Of their magnificent
dwelling. After the guests had all as
sembled, Rev. ]. ], Strandness In few
well chosen words presented the hap
py couple with an elegant upholstered
couch and beautiful set of silver la
BILE ware after which all the guests
were ushered into the dining room
where a most delicious dinner was
served by the ladies present Games
and the recalling OF old times occupied
the time until at late hour the guests
repaired to their respective homes. Mr..
and Mrs. Bye have been residents of
that vicinity for the past twenty seven
years, and were married twenty five
