Celebrated Silver Wedding.
Last Friday night Henry Haas closed his shop as usual and started for home with the intention of sitting down and having a quiet evening before he retired. When he got home he was surprised to see his house brilliantly lighted and filled with a happy throng of men and women and all having a good time. When he asked what was the matter they reminded him that twenty-five years ago that day he and Miss Florence Drake were united in marriage in Decorah and they had come to help him celebrate. Henry yielded gracefully and a very pleasant evening was spent with plenty of all that is good to eat, the visitors bringing well filled baskets. The bride and groom were presented with several pieces of silverware, with congratulations and best wishes, and the hope that they would all be able to help them selebrate{sic} their golden wedding.
