surprised On Their 29th Wedding Anniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Rhoades had been married twenty-nine years Monday, Sept. 6th, and the day was passing much as the other days of the week, when greatly to the surprise of the subjects of this article some twenty neighbors and friends walked in on them just at the supper hour. They did not come empty handed, but brought along a fine supper consisting of fried chicken and other things and Mr. and Mrs. Rhoades were given the assurance that so important a thing as a wedding anniversary must not pass without celebration. The evening was enjoyably spent, all having a jovial time.
