The celebration of a centennial wedding anniversary actually occurred during the month of April In a little village of Huhgary, Zsombulga by name, the still happy bridegroom being 110 years of age and named Jean Szathnaary, and his brlde but a year hls janior. These people were peasants and among the poorest in the little Hungarian town, but the fact of their having lived to celebrate so unique an occurrence as the hundredth anniversary of their marriage has made them the most honored citizens of the place. The little municipality of Zsombulga has voted them a pension, and so long as they live they will be taken care of by the village.
