Wedding Anniversary.
On Monday evening, Aug. 28th, a number of the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Evans gathered at their home in the West End to help them celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary.
The party was in the nature of a surprise, and when Mr. and Mrs. Evans returned from the picture show at the opera house they found their home filled to overflowing with friends, who had come with well filled baskets of dainty viands.
The evening was very pleasantly spent in social intercourse and fun making, and in dancing to the strains of music furnished by W. J. Mead with his ever popular violin, accompanied by Mrs. Kathryn Stoffel on the piano.
At the proper hour lunch and ice cream was served, after which W. G. Kunes, in a neat little speech, presented the bride and groom of 26 years with a neat little purse as a token of friendship from the guests.
When, the hours had grown small and the stars were dim the guests took their departure, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Evans many good wishes and sincere hopes for the future.
