The Golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Howard, at the old home was a huge success. Old friends and neighbors gathered. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers, and crepe paper. The sun came out and the day was spenting visiting and joking about the times of long ago. Altogether I think we will agree it was a beautiful day well spent and long lie and more happiness is what we wish the happy couple.
