CELEBRATE G.0L1 EN- WEDDING
One of the, most gleaning occasions
in the social activities' cif Olinten
this week was the, celebration by
Police 14fagie ate and Mrs. S. J,
Andrews, on 'Tuesday, Dec, 17th,
the fiftieth . anniyeasary .of their
wedding day, at thein; home on Queen
i• •
The sumptuous wedding dinner
was laid for. .high noon, this being'
the hour when this venerable couple
w,ereejoined. in wedlock' by Rev. Mr.Henderson on Dec. 317Th, 1879. The
table was Iaden with all the good
things the season cobld •supply and
conspicuous Witt the (:entre was the
,beautifully •deeorated't wedding cake,
crowned by' a miniature •bride and
groom. The 'dinner guests consisted
of the immediate relatives of the
honored couple, among whom were
the two daughters: Mrs. F. F. Gil-
lies of Kitchener, Ont,; and Miss.
Marion L., at hornet the three sons,
Silas C., of Ali; .Alta.; ,T, Russel and
1„ Clifford of Toronto. The grand-
children who number -nine, were re-
presented by Colin S :Andrews, Stan-
dard, Alta., the eid(tst. son of the
eldest son, Colin A.. 'Andrews of
Clinton, the only living brother of
the groom, and Henry Glazier and
Mia. T. H, Cool., both of Clinton,
brother and sister' of the bride, were
also present. ,, -
NOT NATIVE SONS: '
"Last -Thursday Gordon ;Anderson
and Lorne Agerhart, - of Clinton,
were sentenced in the magistrate's
court ;to one year definite and two
years less one day (indeterminate)
in the EYrformatoryu for theft of a -
car.".
The above is from last week's
Goderich Star, but `the young men
anentioned are not Clinton boys:: The
only connection they have With—Mitt
ton •is that they .clime 'here to steal a
ear. :They ,.probably : -knew Clintop
citizens would belikely to keep geed
of ears and that they have so little fear
of dishonesty that theydo not lock
their garages while theygo into the
house to eat a quiet Stmday supper.

A lifetime residence in Clinton has
won for this worthy couple,the high-
est esteem of our citizen which
was amply shown by the large num-
ber who tailed on the day of the,
celebration r itch to extend congratulatioes
and also the numerous p
hare calls.

were recipients
of
telegrams, Ietters and cards from
relatives and former residents from
as far west as Victoria, B.C.; east
to Montreal and' front, numerous'
points in the United States. •
