A delightfully pleasant evening was spent and cards were enjoyed by many, After Mr and Mrs Pinkerton had been showered with good wishes and con- gratulations, Mrs Tuck, on behalf of the assembled guests, presented them with a purse of silver. Mr Pinker- ton replied, expressing much apprecia- tion for this splendid surprise for Mrs Pinkerton and himself, and most heart- ily thanked the guests for the honour bestowed. After a delicious lunch had been served, the guests departed for home wishing Mr and Mrs Pinkerton many more years of happiness, Twenty-five years ago on October 14th, Mr and Mrs Wm_ Oliver were married at Easton, near Winchester, Hampshire, England, and =o on Friday afternoon on the occasion of her silver wedding anniversary, Mrs Oliver en- tertained a number of old acquaintances at an enjoyable afternoon tea.
