Celebrate Diamond Wedding

1t was New Years Eve, the old
year was slowly passing to its last
long rest. On that same eve in Cairo,
Iowa, a young man in the prime Of life
with manhood's hopes and ambitions
led to the altar the lady of his choice,
the pretty school teacher Of this town.
Surrounded by relatives and friends,
these two young people stood before
the minister and promised to take
each other for better or for worse
and heard the minister's prophetic
words "Until death do US part"
That was sixty years ago-sixty
long years-count 'em, 21,900 days.
On New Years Eve of 1918, in Gun
nison, Colorado, this same happy
couple, John S. Marshall and Ruth ].
Smith, now Mr.. and Mrs. John S.
Marshall, celebrated what is given to
but few to celebrate-their diamond
wedding. To be sure there are some
who insist that diamond wedding is
the seventy-fifth anniversary, but
Webster, whose authority few dare to
question, declares it is the Seventy
fifth or sixtieth," and we'll wager no
married couple in Colorado ever cele-
brated a seventy-fifth wedding anni-
Shiihc tlc
their golden wedding, ten years ago,
when the day was celebrated in a man
ner long to be remembered, there was
no large social affair this time, not
because this worthy couple were really
too old to enjoy it, but well-when
one has seen eighty-six years as has
Uncle John Marshall, and has spent
long industrious, hard-working life
and succeeded-and success does not
come without hard work-one likes to
rest and take things quietly, when the
sunset of life begins to cast its long
shadows. However. a diamond we'd
ding is an event that does not occur
often in Gunnison, and SO popular are
Uncle John and his lovable bride of
sixty years, that friends in groups,
couples and singly, called during the
day to wish them good luck and pros
perity for the coming year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall are pioneers
of Gunnison county, having come west
with their four younger children in
early days of Gunnison the oldest boy,
Howard, having already heard the
"Call Of the West" in 1880. Their
first home was the ranch on the up
per Gunnison, where they lived until
1898, but in later years, when the work
grew little too strenuous, they NOV
ed to town and have since lived in the
little stone house on the boulevard.
It was in this house, on New Years
Eve, surrounded by their children and
grand children that John s. Marshall
received with his mate Of 6Oyears, con-
gratulations of friends and neighbors.
Four of their children are still liv-
ing, Mrs. Theo. Davis, Mrs. Annie M.
Downey, Of Gunnison, Frank P. Mar
shall Of Delta and Jesse Marshall of
Missouri. The Oldest son, Howard,
was killed in snow slide several
years ago.

REMOVING SPOTS AND

State Agricultural College,

State Agricultural College,
OF course everyone is wearing old
clothes this winter. It is necessary,
but still no one likes to have his neigh
bors and friends know that the clothes
are old. Spots and stains can easily
be removed from such clothes and they
can be made to look like new. The
point is how to remove the stains.
The Department Of Agriculture has
recently published splendid bulletin
on the subject. Send to the Division
of Publications, U. S. Department Of
