Harmony Couple Celebrate a Notable Event

Nearly all the people of Mill Plain and Harmony were present on February 1st 
at the Harmony Fir Grove,W.C.T.C. Hall, to extend their hearty congratulations 
to Mr. and Mrs. George Peebles on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding 
anniversary. The gathering, which was called by Rev. S.V.Warren, was one of 
rare enjoyment, and besides the people o fthis part of the country, there were 
many friends from Vancouver.
At noon dinner was served, and although the seating capacity at the tables was 
seventy five, all the seats were twice filled and a considerable number of 
them three times.The tables were bountifully  laden with almost everything 
conceivable in the way of good things to eat, with a ample left for another 
good feast. The hall was decorated in most tasteful manner and the evident 
care taken to make it as beautiful as possible bare eloquent testimony to the 
high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Peebles are held.
In the afternoon a literary program was held, and was greatly enjoyed by all. 
Mr. Peebles had made a request that no presnts be given, and with a few 
exceptions his request was carried out.
Mrs. Peebles is the beloved president of the W.C.T.U. and also holds prominent 
offices in the Sunday school for thirty years, and is class leader. All the 
young people in the community have been members of her class, and her 
influence for good is unbounded. All gathered to do her honor on her golden 
wedding anniversary, and it was evident to all that her efforts have been 
richly rewarded. Mr.Peebles wears the little bronze button of the G.A.R.  and 
is also an active member of the church. Rain or shine, thsi worthy cople never 
miss a Sunday morning service.
W.D.Strahl, the photographer, was present and made a picture of Mr. and Mrs. 
Peebles, as well as one of the great wedding cake.
It was evening before all the party was dispersed, after again extending to 
Mr. and Mrs. Peebles their best wishes for all possible happiness.
