SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
        It has become known the first of last week that on Friday evening Mr. and
Mrs Frank Ambrose would have been married a quarter of a century on that
date and since they were going to pass that event by without celebrating
this important event, their friends concluded that the best thing to do
would be to give them a gentle reminder of the all important day by paying
them a visit at their spacious Main street home. This was easily managed
and possession of the house was taken about seven thirty while Mr and Mrs
Ambrose were away from home, Mrs. Church getting Mrs Ambrose to come to her
home after tea to see about some important matter and Hervey getting Frank
off in another direction on an important mission. When friends numbering
about forty had invaded the home, Mrs Church accompanied Mrs Ambrose home
to find her daughters whom she thought were with Miss Zella Ambrose.
        Mrs Ambrose on entering the house was completely overwhelmed and Frank on
coming home was at once made speechless, till he discovered he had not had
an opportunity to put on a clean pair of cuffs and black his shoes. As it
was, the surprise was complete. The evening was very pleasantly spent in
playing progressive flinch till the morning hours, when H. G. Barber in a
few words presented each with a beautiful chair in which they might rest
and enjoy themselves, after which a sumptuous lunch was served the happy
couple by their friends who had seen to it that a liberal supply had been
brought with them for the event.
        A most pleasant evening was spent and all left wishing that they might
gather at a similar event twenty-five years hence.
