usual festivity Saturday evening, when
about so of their friends and neighbors
called to help celebrate the 25th anniver-
sary of their marriage and to extend
congratulations. There was plenty of
room in their large farmhouse for all to
have a pleasant time, the young people
playing games and the older ones visiting
and participating in vocal and instru-
mental music. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith re-
ceived numerous presents, including a
handsome rocking chair and several pieces
Of sllverware, with which they were
much pleased. A feature of the evening
was the presentation of a wedding ring
to Mrs. Smith by her husband. Sand
witches, cake and coffee were served.
