Silver Wedding Anniversary
Eds. Press: - Saturday, January 16th, W. A. Flowers and wife, not thinking they had been married twenty-five years, proceeded to butcher their fatted swine. They had them hung up to cool when some friends came rather unexpectly and before they had time to realize what was waiting them, 69 of their near relatives and friends were their guests. From well filled baskets, and of the best in the land, large tables were filled to overflowing and a jolly good time enjoyed by all. To help them remember their mission their friends presented them silver mementos, including knives, forks and spoons of the latest design. The bride and groom were well satisfied that many true friends welcomed them to their new home among us. the residence of the groom's mother, Mrs. Thos. Wiggins, was thrown open for extensive dining room service, and to the Misses Wiggins was the grand success of the surprise to be credited. With the best wishes the guests departed, all feeling it was good to have been there. Added by NJBrewer
