GOLDEN WEDDING.

Thursday evening, Sept. 18. 1919,
was the fiftieth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Brown.
At their home on Third street, some
forty of their old-time friends and
neighbors came to enjoy the evening
with. them, and renew many of the
events that have transpired during
the past SO years. Fifty years! When
we are young and full of hope, just
starting in life, what an age that
seems; yet, as we look back over the
past, how soon it is only memory.
The home was attractive with the
many cut flowers; all seemed to wear
their happiest smiles for the occa-
sion.
The bride and groom had to tell
us over again, that it was SO years
since they started on life's journey
together, coming to this little town
to make their fortune. (Of course we
all expect to- get rich at that time of
life.),
During the evening some of the
friends, conceived the idea of having
a wedding service. A. B. Hosbrook
kindly consented to help in the happy
event, and was "dressed-up" to suit
the occasion. The bride and groom
marched out and took their places in
the archway, attended by Ed D..
Bradley and Mrs. C. C. Lahman. At
ter the groom had promised to do all
the cooking, dish washing and every
thing that falls to the lot of house
keeper, so that the bride could devote
her time to daily topics, in order to
keep him posted on how to vote as
she desired he should. Merriment
reigned supreme. After congratula-
tions, order was restored and delici-
GUS refreshments were served by
Madams C. A. Walker, C. Bailey, c..
G. Lahman, and Geo. Malsi. At this
time Mrs. A. B. Hosbrook stepped
forward and in her usual happy man.
ner presented the bride and groom
with little token from the friends

hearty good will.
In the many congratulations re-
ceived, none were more appreciated
than that from their son, Adm, and
family, from their home in California.
cut flowers and gold pieces. AS
the good nights were spoken, all wish
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Brown many long
and happy years yet to come, as they
travel along life's journed.
A delightful time was enjoyed by
all present.

Madame LIE Fontenay
and New Edison
Puzzle Audience

Probably number of people who
attended the recital given last night
at the Christian church by Madame LIE
Fontenay and Mr.. Chas. Young, were
at first puzzled and disappointed when
they discovered monograph cabinet
occupying the center of the stage.
They felt that they had been beguiled
into going to hear charming singer
and clever violinist, and naturally
thought that they had been imposed
upon.
They hardly were reassured when
Madame LIE Fontenay appeared on
the stage and commenced to talk about
reproduction" Creation" and
other like matter. 1t finally became
apparent that the phonograph was at
least to receive assistance from the
singer, but even then the mental out
look was not exactly bright.
Mr.. Young explained that the pur-
pose of the recital was to illustrate
that Thomas A. Edison, after years
of work, had achieved his ideal to per-
feet a musical instrument which would
actually Re-Create music so perfectly
that the Re Creation would be indis-
tinguishable from the original.
This was a broad claim. but it was
established before the evening was
over. Madame LIE Fontenay actually
stood beside the New Edison and sang
in unison with Mr.. Edison's Re- -Crea-
tion-so calle9-of her own voice.
This would have proved little, as her
voice might easily have overbalanced
the tone of the nstrument-swallow-
ed it up-so to speak; but Madame
LIE Fontenay did more-or, to be ac-
curate, less. She paused from time
to time, apparently at random, and
permitted her Re- Created voice to be
heard alone. This gave an opportuni-
ty to compare one with the other and
it is no more than just to state that
there was no discernible difference in
tone quality.
There must have been slight diff
ference in volume when Madame LIE
Fontenay stopped singing, but it was
not noticeable, for the voice which
came from the cabinet was round and
luscious, with all the vibrant, pulsat-
ing quality Of that which came direct
ly from Madame lie Fontenay's throat.
1t was only by watching the singers
lips that one could be sure when she
sang and when she did not.
Mr.. Young offered similar compari-
sons with his violin, playing in direct
comparison with the Recreation of
his own performance. This proof was
very convincing.
Still another proof was offered.
After Madame LIE Fontenay had COM
menced to sing one number the lights
were turned out-ostensibly so that
the audience could not watch the sing
er's lips.
1t did not seem difficult to deter
mine in the dark when the singer sang
and when she did not. The writer was
pretty sure about it himself until the
lights were turned on again and i,
was discovered that Madame LIE Fon-
tenay was not on the stage at all
| and that the New Edison alone hac
been heard.
The program also included Re-Crea
tions Of piano solo, delightful mum
ber by concert orchestra and song
by Arthur Middleton. Thus all type.
of musical sound were heard.
The recital was arranged by Dot.
& Peterson.

IN MEMORIAM.

John S. McGavren, a member of
Valley Lodge No. 232 A. r. & A. NJ,
departed this life September 14th,
1919, and
Whereas: He was recognized by
his brothers in this lodge, and by all
brother Masons at any time favored
with his acquaintance, as typical of
the principles and practices of the
order, and,
Whereas: The true Mason is a
practical philosopher, who under re-
ligious emblems, in all ages adopted
by wisdom, builds upon the plans
traced by nature and reason, the NOR
al edifice of knowledge.
He ought to find, in the symmetri-
cal relations of all the parts of this
rational edifice, the principle and rule
of all his duties, the source of all his
pleasures. He improves his moral
nature, becomes a better man, and
finds in the reunion of honorable men
assembled with pure views, the means
of multiplying his acts of beneficence.
Masonry and philosophy, without
being one and the same thing, have
the same object. and propose to them
selves the same end--.he worship of
the Grand Architect Of the Universe,
acquaintance and familiarity with
the wonders of nature, ard the hap
piness of humanity, attained by the
constant practice of all the virtues.
Therefore,
Be 1t Resolved: That this lodge
recognizes in the person, life and con-
duct of Brother McGavren, a man
who personified the "True Mason" and
exemplified Masonry in accordance
with ideals as above defined.
That we all sincerely and lovingly
say:
"sleep. my dear friend; such lives
as thine
Have not been lived in vain,
But shed an influence rare, divine,
On lives that here remain"
Resolved: That in permanent token
of our appreciation of him this MEM
orial be spread upon our records;
that copy be furnished the family,
and to the press for publication, and
that the charter of the lodge be drap-
ed in mourning for thirty days.
