This is the day of mergers, and an
unprecedented one occurred at

from Ashland who had gone to the

Wedding Anniversary Celebrated.

The twenty-second wedding ami
versary of Rev. and Mrs. W. A.
Schwimley of the Congregational
church was made the occasion for
pleasant dinner party given by Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Gray at their home
on Iowa street, Wednesday night,
with the Schwimley family as hon
ored guests. Other friends had also
heard of the anniversary and desired
to assist in it's celebration, so while
the Schwimleys were enjoying the
hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Gray, the
members of the Pythian Sisters
lodge, to which Rev. and Mrs.
Schwimley belong, and few other
friends, gained access to the desert
ed parsonage and in darkened rooms
calmly proceeded to await the arrival
of the unsuspecting minister and
family. At first it seemed an easy
thing to do, but when seconds ran
into minutes and minutes into hours,
and still no minister appeared, the
invaders began to fear that news of
the contemplated surprise had
reached ears for which it was not
intended, and that the joke was on

time of waiting, however, the "outer
guard" whispered that the family
were coming at last and the little
crowd in the house remained abso-
lutely quiet until the key was placed
in the lock, when the lights were
turned on and a party of laughing
people gathered around the surprised
group in the hall. Explanations were
demanded and duly received, and the
remainder of the evening was then
devoted to games, catch" games
predominating.
Just before refreshments of
peaches with whipped cream and
cake were served, J. A. Patty, in be-
half of the Pythian Sisters, present
ed the bride and groom of twenty
two years ago with a beautiful in

narrow channel was so crowded. to-
night, that traffic between the eastern

coasters and one or two tows came

call for the National convention of the
new Progressive party issued Col.
Roosevelt expressed confidence. to-
night. that the movement was well on
the way toward the formation of a
powerful organization. He would make
no predictions as to the result when
the vote is cast in November content
ing himself with the statement that in
the fortnight since the party was
launched it has made greater Roadway
than he could have believed possible.
Colonel Roosevelt laid special EN-
phasis upon the national scope of the
movement. He believes that he will
be in a position to make a strong APP
peal in territory which has been re-
garded hitherto as Democratic with
the chance of breaking up the SOLID
South" He has been told that his
prospects in the Southern states are
brightest in North Carolina and that
sections of Tennessee are strongly for
him. Wherever the Progressive move
ment has developed strength in the
South, Col Roosevelt hopes to gain
support.
The Ex-President and Mrs. Roose-
welt passed the afternoon in n trip
