About fifty friends and relativea of
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Thoma gathered at
their home on Water Street Saturday

T h e merry crowd brought many
wooden presents, for the couple, and

Cards games, singing and refresh
ments made the hours pass only to
quickly, and the guAsta departed at a

on the bench in the first two frames,
