CEDAR GROVE
"Twentieth Marriage Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. L. Nicholson"

Like great fire-bugs among the trees shone the many lamps in the beautiful grounds of "Cedar Grove" last Thursday evening at Fisherville, as carriages rolled to the crest, where like a castle of the olden time hidden in the forest, the Nicholson residence was all ablaze with light showing against the dark background in all of its superb proportions. Within the door the brilliant scene was one that almost defied description. The occasion which drew together so large a company was the twentieth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. L. Nicholson. The guest were received with gracious courtesy and sincere cordiality. The ladies were most charmingly dressed, feeling called upon to do honor to their beautiful surroundings by wearing their loveliest costumes. There was about the entire house an atmosphere so hospitable that the occasion was noticeable for the complete enjoyment of every one who attended. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents. An eloquent dinner was served during the evening. Among those invited were: Mr. Chas. S. White, Mr. Sam E.
