Celebrate Golden Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Smart Wedded Fifty Years

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Smart, well known residents of the town of Agenda, celebrated their golden wedding last Sunday. A bountiful spread was served on the occasion and surrounded by four children, five grand children and a newphew and niece. The aged couple renewed their marriage vow made fifty years ago in the Pine Tree state. The table was decorated in yellow roses as a center piece, around, which the wedding dinner was tastefully arranged. Mr. Smart has just passed the 74th mile stone and his good wife the 72nd. They are among the first settlers of this part of the county and made their home in the virgin wilderness of a trackless forest at a time when few men were hardy enough to settle except within hailing distance of the railroad. Although Mr. Smart has passed through the hardships incident to pioneer life, he is still vigorous and active for a man of his age. May the good couple live many years hence to enjoy the fruits of their labor in peace and happiness.
