Mr. and Mrs. Pfister will entertain at dinner in honor of the occasion and in the evening the same guests will assemble at the Falck home.

Silver Wedding.
On Friday, Jan. 27th, there occurred at the home of Chas. Falk, who resides near Locust, an event that will long live in the memory of those present. It was on that day, twenty-five years since, Mr. and Mrs. Falk were united as one, the occasion was celebrated in a marriage which was in every way appropriate.
About sixty invited friends and relatives had gathered to help make merry, that evening, and, among them was another couple who were also celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary: Mr. and Mrs. Philip Pfister, he being Mrs. Falk’s brother.
At six o’clock the guests were ushered into the dining room where they ate and drank from a table that was bountifully laden. Music, story-telling and games were pastimes of the evening and it would have been hard to find a crowd more joyful than this was. Rev. K. Seehuus spoke to the guests in words which well fitted the occasion. Many beautiful silver gifts were presented them and we can judge for ourselves with what esteem they are held by their many, many friends. Both couples are enjoying health and happiness and we hope they will enjoy these pleasures another quarter century, that they may celebrate their fiftieth anniversary.
