B, Bishop ' McHenry, Jfta. Wtft, Bu t ft smell proportion of Hi#^irtnan race l$ve to be fifty years of age, and when it happens that a couple have not only survived that age but, better, fifty years of married life, the event i« a notable one In any community and de­ serving of special notice. So thought the uuniei-ftirs Tri?;:;1.; C. S. Reeder and wife, the fiftieth anniversary «t whose weddiug fell on Jan. 17th. A "surprise * for Mr. and Mrs. Reeder was planned, ami so well was the pro­ gramme carried ont and the secret kept, that it wat a "surprise" In the fullest sensa nf the word. aiidfl*3 -say that the recipients were delighted, but very leshly expresses their feelings. They had invited five or six old friend* to a quiet dinner that day, with ao thought ef observing the anniversary in auy more osteutatlaus manner. Im­ agine tlieir "surprise" then, when guests began to arrivenbout tue dinner hour iu most bewildering number*, happy of heart and wealthy of con­ gratulations. Nor did those guest- forget that ft dinner for six Vreul 1 hftrdly do for ft house full, nor that to improvise such a dinner at a moment's warning would be an impossible feat even for • housekeeper of fifty years experience--aud so they catue with well filled hampers whose contents soon made lbs tables "groeu" iudeed. Af. afternoon of unalluyed pleasure suc­ ceeded the dinner, and if Mr. aud Mrs. Reader'* youth was riot renewed, then happy faces are uo index of what is going on in the heart. But the end was not yet. The evening brought another company of "surprlsers" to do theiu lienor, until the house could not well have held more. The festivities continued well along into the eveuing.
