We are twenty to-day, twenty to-day,
And are feeling as fresh as the flow

While our hairs have become whit
ened and our visions obscure,
Our memory is aa keen as in the days
of yore.
The comrade over there who plays on
the fife .
Surely lives an enjoyable lite.
And the comrade down there who
handles the drum
Thinks life's Journey has only begun.
And there'a another comrade who ap
peara very sage,
Would act kind of saucy if you asked
him hia age.
And the comrade now sitting close by
my side.
Feara not the passing of time of the
tide.
Life is what you make it, cheerful
and gay,
Or sad and disconsolate, whicheve
you may.
Yes, we are boys, playing the fife
and the drum,
Fearing not the time when we are
bidden to come.
We shall always be youthful, laugh
ing and gay,
Till the last dear companion has
been summoned away.
We are twenty to-day, twenty to-day,
And are cemented together till judg
ment day.
And when the fife, and the drum have
lost all their Joys,
Dear Father, take care of thy child
ren the BOYS.

Fifty Years ago today we started
out together.
Fifty years of wedded bliss without
a thought to sever.
No darkened clouds have crossed
our paths.
No storms have we encountered.
From pastures green to the golden
sheaf we'd
Like our days recounted.
Wondrous changes have occurred
since on life's boat we started.
Many are the friends we've made
and many have departed.
Though advancing age has dimmed
our eyes
Our hearts are aa young as ever.
Firmly, we have kept the vow
That bound them close together.
MARRIED
Oscar Judd, 21, and Anna Bladell
18, of Eagle Creek, secured a mar-
Iriage license from the county clerk
And while our time has not been
spent Inpent
In quest of wordly gain.
We hope it may be said of us
'They did not live in vain."
Turn back the clock dear Father
Time two score years and ten
Feed us upon the bloom of youth
and make us young again.
The best wishes and congratulations
were extended the couple during the
evening, and during the day handsome
gifts and flowers found their way to
