Mr. W. R. Clemens called the company company to order and admirably discharged the duties of chairman. Mr. John Percy read the following address, and Mrs. Levi Annis presented Mr. and Mrs. Clemens with an Austrian China dinner and tea set of 97 pieces, a dozen silver tea spoons and a berry spoon with the good wishes of all present : To Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clemens. Dear Friends:--We, your relatives, friends and neighbors, assembled here this evening, unite with you in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of your wedding day. We have a distinct recollection of that day, and as we pon 'er over its events and reflect how fast time flies, we are reminded reminded of the many changes that have taken place since. Many loved ones then with us have passed on before, of a cëntury has passed since the bridegroom bridegroom of that day took his bride away from fhe home of her youth and giilhood, to gladden his home, his friends, and the community in which he was born and where his early associations existed. And now by a strange irony of fate we find the same bride and groom about to journey journey back together to that community where the bride's earjy life was spent with the firm intention of making that section their future home. We feel that their going away will be Darlingt n's loss and must be a corresponding gain for Haldi- mand. During the time this worthy couple have resided in our midst they have made for themselves a host of warm true friends who all regret their departure. In this life it seems inevitable that friendly ties must be broken and distance separate loved ones. We therefore bow to the Divine Ruler, who plans our lives and directs directs our ways, believing "He doeth all things well." But it is with pleasure that we avail ourselves of this opportunity of conveying to you in some appreciative form those feelings of esteem, friendship and love we entertain towards you, and as a memento of this interesting and happy occasion we are asking you to accept this silverware and set of china as a commemorative commemorative reminder of this night's gathering. And our prayer is that God will abundantly abundantly bless you in health, wealth and prosperity, prosperity, and when at last the summons shall come to call you fronj earth away, may your home be in that mansion on High where habitations ne'er break up and friendships never end. Signed on behalf of committee : A. E. Clemens, Chairman. W. R. Clemens John Percy Mr. Clemens made a very suitable reply to the kind words of the address and for the useful and beautiful gifts, after which his four grandchildren, Harold, Geraldine, Edith and Irving Clemens, Tyrone, sang "Put On Your Old Grey Bonnett," accompanied accompanied by their father, Mr. A. W. Clemens. Short speeches were made by Messrs. A. W. and. Geo. F. Annis and A. W. Clemens; and others, after which a splendid supper was served by the ladies. Among the guests was Mr. Thos. Percy, Bowmanville, the groomsman of 25 years ago. The balance of the evening was spent very pleasantly in social intercourse and music by Clemens family and Mrs. G. F. Annis Mr. and Mrs. Clemens have moved to the Stewart Settlement in Haldimand township, northeast of Cobourg, where they will pursue farming in that banner township. Their numerous friends in Darlington will join with us in wishing them every blessing and success in their new home.
