Fortieth Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. S. W. S. Rowe, prominent ranchers of the Hoosac
district, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary at their home
on September 30th. Mrs. Rose is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. McNatt, and she was married to Wesley Rowe at Sidney, Iowa, at
the farm residence of Mrs. Rowe's parents on September 30, 1884.
Rev. David Worcester performed the ceremony. Mr. Rowe was in the
photograph business for a number of years in Iowa, coming to
Montana several years ago, and since that time has been engaged
in ranching in this vicinity. Father Tlime has dealt leniently
with Mr. and Mrs. Rowe and they are still going ahead with their
work in a manner which would do credit to a couple many years
younger. In this city as well as their own community, they have
made a multitude of friends, who extend congratulations, and who
wish them more years of happiness which they so richly
deserve.--Denton (Montana) Recorder.

For Member of the Board of Supervisors, term beginning
January 1925, we present Henry J. Ross of Walnut township. Mr.
Ross is quite well and favorably known the county over. He has
been a farmer in Walnut township for a number of years and is a
man of mature judgment. For many years he has been deeply
interested in the Farmers Institute and is also interested in
Farm Bureau activities. He is one of the men who has helped to
make the Waubonsie Trail from Shenandoah to Nebraska City what it
is and is continually boosting for this highway, especially in
the matter of cleaning it up and making it a beautiful drive in
so far as is humanly possible. Contrary to a rumor that is
current, Mr. Ross is not related to Mr. George Ross, present
member of the board. If elected in November, Mr. Ross will give
county affairs his closest attention and he will appreciate your
vote and your support.
