AN ENJOYABLE TIME
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Mack, Of
Pima, Celebrate Thirty
second Anniversary

Thursday night OF February otn,
the good people of Fairview spent
an ENJOYABLE evening at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Mack, the
occasion being the thirty-second an
niversary of the wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mack.
The party was gotten up by the
sons and daughters and near rela-
tives and was complete surprise to
the old folks.
There were about eighty people
present, including a few Of the re-
latives from Stafford, Thatcher and
Pima.
The large parlor was beautifully
decorated in white and dainty colors
and seats were prepared for all who
came.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mack, dressed in
wedding garb, entered and were
conducted to seats at the altar which
had been prepared for the occasion
and after the marriage ceremony
was performed they received the
congratulations of those present.
| Kimball Markham acted as master
of ceremonies, and showed his abil.
ity in that line, by the way he kept
the ball rolling and the people laugh
ing at his witty announcements.
A splendid program had been ar
ranged and many beautiful pieces
were rendered. Some of the mos
impressive were as follows:
Song: Goodbye, Little Girl
Goodbye" by Hugh and Thress;
Foster.
Instrumental selection, piano. BY
Mrs. j. C. McElroy.
Baritone solo, Jerusalem. thu
Holy City," by r. F. Mcbride, will
piano accompaniment, by Mis-
Thressa Foster.
"Old King Cole."- by Male Quar-
tette Club.
"Devlish Mary" by the groom
and many others that space will no
permit us to mention.
One of the most interesting event
of the evening was the relating O
past experiences by the bride ant
groom. They told how they livet
to an age some years in advance o
the usual marrying age before eithe
was seriously affected by that won
derful experience called love. ant
how their two hearts were SO sud
denly pierced by one shaft iron
cupid's bow; how they were married
lin Arkansas and had to move to /
new county of that State on accoun
of there being too many relatives il
one county, so they went away ant
started another county; and how a
the present rate of increasing in th'
family they will soon have to star
still another.
Mr.. Mack may be favorably com
pared with that great author anc
homorist, Opie Reid, for he is in |
class by himself; and when relating
those past experiences, in that man
ner and in that humor which he
alone possesses, he will cause the
most sedate to smile and the joyous
hearted to laugh aloud.
The browning event of the eve
ming were the dainties served by the
pretty girls (all girls are pretty
but those girls seemed exquisitel,
beautiful; made SO. ! suppose by the
noticeable contrast between then
and the homely boys who passed ths
big red apples.
A few choice gifts were presented
and while the brass band was play
ing the wedding march. the whole
assembly joined in everybody shake
hands with yourself and with every
body else."
Mr.. Mack then announced that
they would commence at once te
prepare blowout for their fiftieth
anniversary and extended an invita-
tion to all those present.
The closing rendition and the
Climax of the evening was toast
by p. H. Mcbride:
A pair of linen breeches, a por,
cupine saddle, hard trotting horse
and long journey for anyone who
can say a word of evil against the
bride and groom"
