Presented With Chest of Silver.
Sunday week ago was the TWEEN
ty-ffth anniversary OF Rev. and Mrs
T. j. Herring. At the close OF the
Sunday morning service DIR. Lunstord,
in his pleasant and affable manner,
asked the bride of twenty-five sum
mers to stand by her husband. He
congratulated them on the success OF
their quarter OF a century voyage on
the sea of matrimony and then in
beautiful and we'll chosen words, pre-
scented them with a chest OF silver and
a good many extra pieces, f1lhng out
an unusually large and handsome set
which was given by the members OF
the Parrot and the Weston Baptist
churches as a token of appreciation
and love. Mr. Herring, in very fitting
manner extended sincere thanks, say
ing that it was indeed most pleasant
surprise and that 1t filled him with
great JOY Mrs. Herring, before her
marriage, was Miss Limeberger. On
their life journey she has been an ever
ready and helpful mate Mr.. Herring
has 1abored with untiring effort as
pastor of the Parrot Baptist church
for six years, and the church has pros
pered During this time he has built
handsome house OF worship that
would reflect credit to a much larger
town. By his affable greeting and
hearty handshake he has endeared
himself to the people at large. We wish
Mr.. and Mrs Herring many happy
returns of the day.
