Mr. and Mrs. P.J. Collins Surprised by Their Many Friends
Last Wednesday evening, Jan. 12, Mr. and Mrs. P.J. Collins of
this city were
surprised by their many friends and neighbors, the occasion being
the
thirty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. There were about
thirty in
attendance. After enjoying euchre for a couple of hours,
delicious
refreshments were served by the daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
Collins. At the
close Mr. and Mrs. Collins were presented with a beautiful rug.
The Democrat
learns with pleasure of the happy surprise and extends warm
greetings to
these excellent people. We sincerely hope the coming years will
be more than
generous to them.
