TAFT SILVER ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, June 17.-for the sec
ond time in our latterday history, the
silver anniversary of a Cincinnati we'd
ding Is to be observed by president
of the United States and his honored
Iconsort. New Years eve, 1T, Presi-
dent and Mrs Rutherford B. Hayes
with a memorable levee held at the
White House celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of their wedding, held
in Cincinnati the last day of the year
1852, and the 18th of June President
and Mrs. Taft, in the manner already
set forth in the news columns of the
papers will observe the passing of an
even quarter century since the time
of their nuptials, solemnized in Gin
cinnati in 1886.
A coincidence of bloc das well as of
scene attaches itself to these two pres
idential wedding anniversaries. AT
that of the Hayes wedding the only
invited guests outside of the presi-
dents official family We're persons
closely associated with him and his
wife's early life and by virtue of this
process of selection one Of the chief
guests of honor was John William
Heron, eX-state senator, former dis
trict attorney, and one of the few wit
nesses of the Hayes wedding before
the war, and also a law partner of
President Hayes. A third of a century
later this same John w. Heron gave
the hand of his daughter, Helen, unto
William Howard Taft, in the course
of the nuptials whose silver ami
versary is now about to fall Another
name upon the list of guests hidden to
the Hayes silver wedding was that of
Alphonso Taft, the father of our pres
ent chief executive.

Salon." which met each Saturday af-
ternoon at the Heron residence, No.
SO Pike street. This small coterie
of young men and women-most Of
them just out of college-for two
years wrote essays and discussed cur
rent topics. Miss Helen t. Heron,
known among her intimate friends as
Nellie, had lately finished her educa-
ton at Cincinnati University, and
was about this period improving her
time by teaching a few terms at al
private school She was not only i'm
tellectual, but musician accom-
Plished pianist, who was later to or
ganize the Cincinnati Symphony Or
chestra, and for a long time served
as its president.
Fathers Taft and Heron approved

these old friends and neighbors were
themselves members of the Cincinnati
Literary Club, organized by Ainsworth
R. Spofford and several others, and Of

In the spring a hens ambition

Raise some checks to raise the cash;

OUR GROWING FAMILY.

The circulation of The Times-Recoc-
der has been largely increased as a
result Of the subscription contest
which has just closed. To a circr-
latfon that was, prior to the holding
OF the contest, a widely distributed
and most representative one, has been
added the names of a large number of
new daily and weekly subscribers, so
that The Times-Recorder NOW covers
its territory completely.
The addition of this large number
of new subscribers brings greater and
broader value to the paper as an ad-
vertising medium. The many testimon-
ials that are daily received as re-
CARDS the excellence of the paper a.
a dependable and trustworthy means
Of gaining publicity for its adyertis-
ers, are most gratifying. There can
be but one meaning attached to the
recent wide growth in circulation, that
is, that The Times Recorder is now
by far more valuable as an advertis-
ing medium than it has ever been.
The many recent improvements in
the paper have brought it up to
high level of excellence in every way,
Ever since the paper was enlarged to
sight pages there has been a constant
increase in subscriptions. Improve
ments are constantly being made, so
that the purpose of the management
is to gradually raise the standard of
still higher. A bigger and
better paper for a bigger and better
Americas and Southern Georgia is our
motto. With this purpose in view,
the circulation of the paper will con-
tinue to grow, and to grow consist
entity and regularly.
Advantages gained in circulation as
a result of the contest are to be en-
phasized and made still more marked
1t is our desire not only to keep ey-
cry new subscriber permanently Oh
our list, but by constant and diligent
solicitation to add daily to our grow
ing family of subscribers. This, of
course, means the shouldering of lar
ger responsibilities. 1t means that
additional expenses must be incurred
TO bring about these improvements. It'll
is the firm belief of the management,
however, that the people of this SET
ton are willing to cooperate with us
in every worthy act to make The
Times Recorder the best newspaper
published in this section of the state,
With that firm conviction in mind, the
support and aid of every advertiser.
every reader and every friend of the
paper, of this city, of this county and
this entire section is earnestly sought
to make the paper the best one that
has ever been offered to the people of
