This fact was quite evident by the way in which all came and helped to Keep the anniversary. The occasion was one of much enjoyment, and the weather was perfect. The house was decorated with ferns and flowers. Dinner was served in four courses, covers being laid for 48. All of their ten children were present except the oldest daughter, Mrs. Harry Beck, who had recently removed to Missouri, and whose absence was much regretted, it being the only break in the family circle. Among those present were Mrs. Dickey and daughter Miss Dickey, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Torbet and daughter, all of Indianapolis; Mr and Mrs. Crate Cragun, of Lebanon; Mr. and Mrs. John Dale, of Darlington: Mr. and Mrs. B. Forsythe and Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hcftian, of Rensselaer. Music was furnished by grapbophone and piano music by some of the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Torbet were the recipients of many nice presents, among which is a handsome dinner set, given by the children jointly. No one style of gifts prevailed, but linen and silverware and china were in prominence. The occasion is one which will remain a joyful remembrance to al) partook of it, and that they may live to celebrate many more such anniversaries was the wish of those present.
