WEDDING ANIVERSARY.

Friday, Nov. 13, 1891, being the twentieth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Rostratter, they were very pleasantly surprised by a large number of neighbors and friends. They were taken by storm and very calmly surrendered.

They carried with them an elegant China tea set, bed-room set, butter set, set of knives and forks, extension table and two handsome upholstered chairs, which were presented by Mr. and Mrs. Converse in behalf of the people, and received by Mr. and Mrs. Rostratter with heartfelt thanks. After viewing the presents and partaking of a most bountiful super, they cleared the floor and old and young joined in dancing and merry-making.
