Fifty Years United.
The crowning social event of
the season, of Elko, was the cele
bration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Means at their hospitable
home last Saturday. Mr. Means
and wife were as bright, jovial
and entertaining as they were on
their first entrance into the train
that has been running these fifty
years. They have lived where
they now reside for forty-eight
years. They then, of course, have
known all who have lived and now
live in this vicinity for these many
years, and their friends are those
who know them. There were only
two who congratulated the happy
couple at this their golden wed
ding who were present at their
marriage—Mrs. Sallie E. Means
(nee Miss Dunwoody) and Prof.
T. M. Means.
The home was beautifully deco
rated, and looked so fresh, tender
and pleasing to the eye. It natu
rally caused the aged to think of
their tender and youthful years
before their foreheads and cheeks
had been traced by these many
years. '
The invitations read from 10 to
4 o’clock, and for those hours
their granddaughter, Miss Emmie
Means, and Miss Mary Kill'en of
Perry, received the guests. Mrs.
W. L. Means, assisted by Mrs.jW.
R. Davis and Mrs. J. M. Poole,
attended to the satisfying of the
inner man with all that was ca
pable of satisfying, while Misses
Sulu Means and, Clyde Buff serv
ed apollinaris lemonade from a
bowl buried in ferns and entwined
, in vines.
The presents wore many and all
very pretty and handsome. No
one could know better how to
appreciate these tokens of love
and friendship, than this happy
couple. A list of all who attend
ed, would be infringing your
space, as there were over one hun
dred. Besides the congregation,
the bride and groom received many
letters from old friends, who
could not be present,making many
pleasant wishes.
Everyone present expressed
themselves as being most pleas
antly entertained and with a new
resolve to tread the remainder of
their untrodden years in more
usefulness and exert better influ
ence—as has this noble and Chris
tian couple.
This is the third “Golden Wed
ding” that has been celebrated in
Mr. Means family. His brothers,
Mr. Jno. Means and Mr. Ander
son Means, having proceeded him
in this happy event. Reporter.

GOOD FENCING CHEAP.
Ready Butlt, Woven Wire Fences Are
Winning Their Way on Merit.
Good, tight, durable fencing
can now be put up on every boun
dary of a farm or plantation so
cheaply that there is no excuse for
broken down fences and costly
neglect that costs more in injury
to growing crops than would pay
for new fencing. The factories
are turning out such immense
quantities of the steel wire fencing
known as the American Field and
Hog Fence, that the price has be
come wonderfully low, consider
ing the fact that the best Besse-
mersteel is used and highest grade
galvanizing. The fencing comes
from the factory in rolls of forty
rods and less and the setting of
posts is the chief labor involved
in modern fence building.
The American Fence stands all
kinds of strains, heat and cold,
bulls and boys. It is the fence
that fences and the fence of real
economy. It is sold in all parts
of the country at the general
stores. Everybody interested in
the fencing problem should put
up a section of American fencing
and see how it stands in competi
tion with fences that are built
with a great deal of hard labor
and at greater expense.
