4. A. X. and Relief Corps Surprise
Mr.. and Mrs. William Cleveland
on their Fiftieth Wedding
Anniversary.

Last Saturday afternoon Mr..
and Mrs. William Cleveland were
surprised by the arrival at their
home of about fifty members of
the G.. A. r. and Relief Corps.
The day, the 18th of August, was
the tiftieth anniversary of their
wedding, and they had all their
daughters present for a sort of
family reunion, but the daughters
knew there was a surprise in
store for them as they had re-
ceived information of the coming
of the army. A most enjoyable
time was had, and a dinner was
later served to 63 jolly people.
The family is one Of the early
settlers in Milbank, and during
all of their thirty-t 40 years of
residence here they have ever
enjoyed the respect and esteem
of the entire community.
The couple were married at
Cannon City, Rice county, Mimi,
August II, 1862, and they have
four daughters and one son
Mrs. H, H. Tyler, of Clinton,
MINI, Mrs A. A. Chapman,
Mrs B c.. Voss and Miss Aimee
Cleveland, all living in Milbank.
The son, Mr.. Will Cleveland, who
is in building work at Duluth,
was unable to be present, and
had to telegraph his congratula-
tons. A remarkable fact is that
during their fifty years of mar.
ried life Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
have not had a death in their fam
lily, all the children born to them
being alive, and both husband and
wife Z rs years of age. Nh.
Cleveland was born at Barnston,
the province of Quebec, Canada
and when a young man moved
to Wisconsin where he lived for
. years, moving to Mortified,
Mimi, and from there came to
this county IN 1880. Mrs. Cleve-
lands maiden name was Eliza
beth =. Norton, and she was born
at Elizabeth, n. j., and Der family
moved to Chicago and later to
Goodhue county, MINI and Can
non Falls.
Mr. Cleveland learned the car
penter trade when a young man,
and after taking his homestead in
this county a few miles north Of
MilbanE, he worked at his trade
in this vicinity until a few years
ago, when he engaged in tie
pigeon business and raising
squads for the city markets. and
has made a success of it. He has
some 800 pairs of breeders at the
present time, but owing to the
high price of feed this year, the
business has not been as profit
able as in some other years.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have
the kindest wishes of the Herald
Advance and a host of other
friends in this community, who
join in congratulations and the
hope that they may both live to
enjoy many more returns of their
anniversary.

All Night Service.

The city authorities have made
arrangements with the electric
light company to keep the street
lights going all night for the next
sixty days, the new service com
mencing on the Goth It has
been the practice shortly after
the departure of the night trains
to turn off the street lights, but
as there are a large number OF
transcients in and around the
city it is believed that the all.
night service will prove very &C.
ceptable and a help in keeping
order.
