ARE GOLDEN WEDDING DAYS
Venerable Couple at La Fargo Cele-
brate Them

Last Friday, November u, the rel
atives of Colonel and Mrs. A. H.
Rolfe gathered from far and near to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding which took place in See
leyburg in a little old house which is
still standing. And a joyful celebra-
ton it was, overlooking to the |. O.
o. F. hall, where Rev. Ralston took
charge of the ceremony with a very
interesting talk, after which boun-
teouse dinner was served.
The colonel, after facing shot and
shell through four years with the
army of the Potomac, was still some
what nervous in placing the ring upon
the finger of his bride of fifty years.
The jollification continued until late
at night and all agreed that a happier
day they had rarely known. Many
beautiful flowers and presents were
presented by their loving friends and
were received with hearts overlooking
with gratitude. Father and Mother
Rolfe have, to rise up and call them
blessed, eight children, twenty-one
grandchildren and six great grand
children.-LaFarge Enterprise.

Senator Roethe in his newspaper,

ton Of Industrial strikers as follows:
EDO you know what in our opinion
would be the quickest way to end
these everlasting strikes? AS we look
at it, it would be for the farmers to
90 on a strike With their supply of
foodstuffs imperiled if they continued
in their course, how quickly the strik-
ers would get back to work and be

Most laxatives and cathartics afford

you want permanent relief take Cham

bowels, but improve the appetite and
