THIRTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

One. of the pleasing social events of the week was the. celebration of the thirtieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs: E. D. Rhoades at their comfortable home on the corner of Front and Cornelia streets Tuesday afternoon and evening. Cher 100 invited guests were in attendance during the afternoon and^ evening, those from out of town being their daughter and tw’O small children of Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. C. W. Coen of South Bend; Mrs. J. F. Warren of Oklahoma City; Mrs. J. H. Carsner of California; Mrs. Caddie Martin of Cincinnati; Mr. and Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Vannatta of Fowler. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoades (Lora H, Hopkins) were married Sept. 6. 1880, by Rev. D. T. Halstead in the old Austin hotel, which used to stand on West Washington street. Their present home was the birthplace of Mrs. Rhoades and she has always lived there. Mrs. Rhoades wore her wedding dress of 30 years ago, and it fitted her to perfection. Ed’s w'edding suit long ago went the way of all men’s clothes, and he couldn’t have buckled it around his now r ample form if he had saved it, so he wore something a little more modern. The occasion was enjoyed very much by everyone. They received many handsome presents.
