CELEBRATE SILVER WE'D
DING ANNIVERSARY

The 25th wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Murphy at
the Merchants hotel Friday eve
ming was very unique affair.
Mrs. Gault and Mrs. Walsh plan
ned the affair TO be a complete
surprise to both Mr.. and Mrs.
Murphy, and the plan was car
ried out to the letter. About 60
of their friends gathered at the
hotel at s o'clock. Mr.. Murphy
had planned a trip Friday to Har-
lis but had been persuaded to
stay home to meet land men from
Iowa at the hotel at s o'clock.
AS the clock struck the hour, he
walked into the office and found
the land men to be many.
The evening was spent in sing
ing old time songs and relating
past experiences in the Is years
that a number of families have
spent in Bruno. The friends had
brought along an ample supply
of good things to eat and supper
was served at 10 o'clock. Mr..
and Mrs. Murphy were then
presented with a purse Of money
with which to buy silverware.
In the presentation speech the
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Muir
ply, the generosity and sociabili-
ty in which they excel were en-
phasized as well as many other
excellen mt characteristics of
them. The affair was surely a
wonderful success and all pres
ent enjoyed it and were more
than glad TO be able to have the
opportunity to show their appre-
citation of Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy's
% years of service in this CON-
They in turn greatly
appreciated the celebration.
