VAIL ITEMS.

Last Sunday, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Mccullough, with the assistance OF
number of their friends and neigh
bors, celebrated their golden wedding
at their comfortable home in the south
part of town. Invitations were sent
to about one hundred. The reception
commenced at noon and lasted until
evening. The tables were laden with
the best the season afforded. Two
large tables were used and it took all
the afternoon to accommodate the
large crowd present. After dinner ice
cream, cigars and other delicacies
were served. Mr. and Mrs. McCul.
Tough have trotted along in double
harness for fifty years and still seem
gay and happy, in spite of the years
that have passed and left them on the
sunset side of life. So rare it is in
life that We see so old couple who
have been allowed to enjoy so many
years of happy companionship, one
to console the other, to help bear the
others burdens, that we deem them
deserving of special mention. They
have reared a large family, have
passed through the hardships of early
life in Iowa and know how to make
the best of things. The marriage of
this worthy couple took place at To-
ronto, Canada. A few years afterward
they came to Crawford county and set
tied in Stockholm township, where
they lived until few years ago when
they came to live in Vail. To show
how some of the exiled sons of Erin
have succeeded it is only necessary
to mention that Mr.. Mccullough is
now the owner of over one thousand
acres of good land around Vail, and
he is now rated at over 100000. At
the conclusion of the festivities Mr..
Mccullough was presented with an
elegant rocker and number of valu-
able gifts. Long may they live to en-
joy their present prosperity is the
wish of all their friends. Mr.. Parton
acted as official photographer and a
large number of views were taken.
