MARRIED FIVE YEARS
Wooden Wedding Celebrated by Stanley Moore and Wife Monday Night

November 30th was the fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Moore, of Worthington hotel, and accordingly the popular boniface and his estimable wife celebrated the event by a "Wooden Wedding," given at the hotel, and attended by about one hundred invited guests.

An elaborate fourt-course supper was served in the spacious dining room, the tables being arranged in the shape of the letter "T" and beautifully decorated with cut flowers. While the guests were enjoying the repast to the fullest extent, Addington's orchestra furnished music, and after the supper the tables were cleared away and those who desired "tripped the light fantastic toe" until about eleven-thirty. Mrs. F.H. Millard of Minneapolis , added to the evening's pleasure by the rendition of a recitation.

Mr. and Mrs. Moore received a number of handsome presents, and shortly before the midnight hour the guests departed each expressing the wish that the host and hostess be spared to celebrate many more marriage anniversaries and be the recipients of all that was best in life.

Third Anniversary

Co. F, M.N.G., has been organized three years and the event was celebrated last Friday night by a banquet at the Western Hotel. Of the original company there were 26, whose term of enlistment expired, and most of these re-enlisted, which taken in conjunction with the new recruits brought the number of enlistments up to 30. Capt. S.S. Smith now has a full company of 76 men with four recruits upon the reserve list.

The banquet was served at the Western hotel and was thoroughly enjoyed not only by the members of the company, but by the invited guests. The long tables were loaded to capacity with good things to eat, to which all did ample justice, the happy gathering dispersing at about the midnight hour. The personnel of Co. F is far above that of the average military company, care being exercised by the officers to select only men of good habits and those who will prove a credit to the organization.

Scalded Hand

Miss Florence Wickman met with a painful accident last Saturday afternoon. She was engaged in ironing come clothes, and one of the irons becoming too hot, she attempted to cool it in a pan of water, with the result that her right hand was badly scalded by the steam. A physician was called who dressed the injury and rendered the necessary medical attention for the relief of the painful hurt.

Death of a Child.

Cora Lucille, the six-year-old daughter of Walter H. Paine, died at the home of her parents in Hersey township Monday morning last. The immediate cause of her demise was heart trouble, but the child has been afflicted for some time with a peculiar malady which baffled the skill of physicians, as it partook of the nature of a number of diseases. Although sorely afflicted and suffering intensely at times, still she was a patient sufferer, bearing her burden of ill-health with a fortitude, well worthy of emulation by older persons.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church and was attended by one of the largest concourses of friends that have attended a funeral in this city for some time. She was a child beloved by all who come in contact with her and all join in extending sympathy to the afflicted family.
