A Wooden Wedding
The handsome cottage at the corner of Main St. and Ford Av., looked beautiful Wednesday evening. It was illuminated to the exterior with great taste and compared pleasantly with the surrounding darkness of an inclement evening. During the day, the interior had been festooned with shavings and the commonest old-fashioned clothespins, which presented an unique appearance and suggestive of the celebration of a Wooden Wedding. Such was the event and Hon. James Stewart and wife were the center of pleasant scenes that must have remined them of that evening five years before when each pledged to the other their life and love. There would be more to say of their married life if there had been more of it. We considered it a "good match" then, as our grandmothers say, and that opinion has strengthened with time. There are more of them now and the family is a third better off than even one year ago. Such improvement until the golden wedding, and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart will have attained about all they justly deserve.
This anniversary was largely attended, many ladies and gentlemen from out of town being present. There were several elegant costumes and to be brief the affair was exceedingly dressy and in good taste. A great number of presents were made from little articles of the simplest kind to costly pieces of furniture. Refreshments were served in abundance and of most delicious varieties. We are sure that all present and many others join with us in congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart and in the hope that they may live many years in the rich enjoyment of happiness and prosperity.
