EIGHTEENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Eighteen years ago Jan. 29, in this city, the wedding of Miss Cora Smith and Benton Forsythe was quietly celebrated in the Legget house parlors. Last evening in honor of the event Hon. C. D. Legget and wife entertained a party of friends at their home on South Main street. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Leggett and Mr. and Mrs. Benton Forsythe. The evening was spent in a social way, one of the chief amusements being the old fashioned square and round dance, which proved a delightful way of entertaining to all the guests. An orchestra of two pieces furnished good music during the entire evening. The rooms of the home were decorated with boquets of pink carnations. The beautiful costumes of the ladies added much to the pretty scene. During the evening Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe received the congratulations and best wishes of all. Light refreshments were served by the hostess. Mrs. Forsythe is the niece of Hon. C. D. Leggett at whose home she has been a guest for the past three weeks. She is well known here. Mr. Forsythe is proprietor of one of the largest mercantile houses in Rensselaer, Ind. He arrived Sunday to accompany bis wife home.—Fairfield, lowa, Journal.
