SOME SOCIAL NEWS 1 Ben Hur Anniversary Celebration a Most Happy One —Harvey Harruff I GIVEN A SURPRISE Lois Patterson Entertains Little Friends at Birthday Party—Other Socials. To believe your own thought; to believe that what is true for you in your heart is true for all men — that is genius.—Emerson. One of the most pleasant of all pleasant anniversaries was that of Thursday, March 31st, the fifty-sev-enth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Steele, and the third anniversary of the wedding of their eldest granddaughter, Nola Steele-Math-ewson, and her husband, George Mathewson. These events were celebrated jointly and a few friends and relatives invited to make merry with them. At 7:30 in the evening a royally good supper was served and the evening otherwise spent with social pleasures and the exchange of many good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. HenrySteele were married in 1853, and perhaps have been married longer than any other couple living in the county. They are the parents of J. H. Steele, the well known school teacher. Those who were at the celebration were Fred Bender and family, N. Mathewson and family, D. B. Roop and wife, Kit Cowan and wife, Mrs. E. H. Cowan, J. H. Steele and family and Roland Spangler and wife of Frankfort. The Christian Ladies’ Aid society held a very profitable meeting at the home of Mrs. C. E. Hitesman on Oak street yesterday, and plans were completed for a chicken-pot-pie dinner to be given two weeks from yesterday — April 15th, in one of the business rooms of the city. The report off those in charge showed that the proceeds of the white sale which they recently conducted amounted to $12.50, an admirable sum. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Rena Hoffman of West Monroe street. Those present yesterday were Mesdames G. T. Burke, E. H. Shoemaker, A. M. Fisher, P. G. Williams, George Hunt, George C. Steele, H. Pennington, Jacob Eady and Henry Stevens. The anniversary celebration of the Ben Hurs last evening was one of the most enjoyable social events ever given by them. A large number of the members were out and enjoyed the program of addresses and music and the luncheon that was served at the close. Among the surprises was that given for Harvey Harruff, whose birthday anniversary and the lodge's are one. Some one suggested the game of "postoffice,” but instead of the old-fashioned game so well known to many, it turned out that Mr. Harruff was the only one favored, as a bundle of postcards, bearing the good wishes of thj* donors, was handed to him, being quite a clever diversion from the usual postcard shower. Fred Coldner and Miss Lydia Worthman. daughter of Henry Worthman, of near Preble, were married Thursday evening at 5 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents by the Rev. Snyder, pastor of the German Reformed church at Magley. The wedding was a very quiet one, witnessed only by the immediate relatives of the two families. The newly wedded couple will make their home on the Goldner homestead Mary Ann, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom L. Miller, entertained a few small friends this morning in honor of Miss Elizabeth Bell of Flint, Mich., and Master Miller Locke of Decatur, who are visiting here with their mammas. —Bluffton News. Miss Lois Peterson is celebrating her fifth birthday anniversary this afternoon by giving a party to twentytwo of her little friends and from present arrangements the party promises to be a most pleasant one. The social given last evening at the Methodist church by the Epwortn League was well attended and much enjoyed. A miscellaneous program was given and refreshments served. The Ministerial association will meet at the library on Monday at 1:30. Paper by Rev. D. O. Wise. ——— — -o — Rock eggs, 50c per setting. Call at the Studabaker tarm; ’phone 350.— Bud Sheline. 7716

HAD NO RESIDENCE I • —< 1— Applied at County Clerk’s Office For the Papers But Were Refused. Martin Steele, aged sixty-nine, married four times before, his residence ' wherever he happens to take off his hat, and Percilla Mistier, aged six-ty-seven, who has likewise sailed up- ’ on the sea of matrimony four times, whose real residence is in Michigan, but who has been working at Fort Wayne for some time, applied at the clerk’s office here this afternoon for a license to marry. When the officer arrived at the question of residence and learned the facts he at once denied the license and then followed a wrangle in which the would-be groom got real cute and wound up by the remark that the clerk could go to a climate, where it’s warmer than the month of March was the year round. He showed some signs of having celebrated the approaching event a little early and the old couple were indeed a pair to draw to.
