Last Tuesday evening about sixty of the relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs WM. ANSTEY gathered at their residence south of town to celebrate the China wedding of Mr. and Mrs. ANSTEY.
The affair was a complete surprise to them, but their friends had come prepared and in a short time tables were spread and ladened with all the good things that man likes, and all were invited to partake freely. It is needless to say that all partook thereof. After all had eaten they gathered in the sitting room to see the knot that was tied twenty years ago re-tied and wound with ties of love and friendship. It does one good in these days of divorces and separations to meet with a couple who have walked hand in hand for so long a time, sharing each other's burden, comforting and sustaining each other through the vicissitudes of life. We trust we may live to assist in celebrating Mr. and Mrs. ANSTEY'S golden wedding. After a hand shake and best wishes for their future happiness the company were entertained with some excellent vocal music. All then left for their homes feeling that they had a good time and with best wishes for Mr. and Mrs. ANSTEY'S future happiness.
The following is a list of presents given to the worthy couple by their friends:
JOHN HARRIS and wife -- set sauce dishes.
R. HULET and wife -- cake stand.
H.P. BROTHERS -- handsome lamp.
W.W. EVANS and wife -- gold breast pin.
JOSEPH BAKER and wife -- two bread plates.
J. HULIT and wife -- handsome pitcher.
MR. BENNING and wife -- handsome pitcher.
LILY BRYANT -- handsome cup.
Miss SEELY -- silk gloves.
L.D. BOSWORTH & CO. -- fine tea set.
JOHN BRYANT -- a beautiful pumpkin.
There were several other presents that we did not learn of.
