Jennings' home on Mill street, Newcastle, was the scene of three separate social gatherings during the celebration of their golden wed- Ging anniversary On Saturday even- ing' Mr. and Mrs. Jennings had the pleasure of welcoming home their four sons-in-law and daughters and their five grandchildren, namely: Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lawrence and son, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Rowe, two daughters and two sons, Hamil- ton; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Blackburn, Providence, and Mr. and Mrs. Ross Shelter, Shannonvtlle. These with a few invited guests, intimate friends of the honored couple, brouzht the first happy greetings and spent a most pleasant evening recalling Auld Lang Syne. During the even- ing Mr. apd Mrs. Jennings were pre- sented with a purse of gold, a dol- lar for every wedded year, by their sons-in-law and daughters. Accom- panying the gift was a written ad- drdss couched in fond and affection- ate terms and signed by the four deeply grateful daughters, Alma, Floreuce, Edith and Ida, each and all living witnesses of the Chris whom they early learned te love through the example and precepts of their devoted parents. A beautiful bride's cake, of de- lightful blend, perfect texture and exquisite flavor was naturally the subject of much pleasing 'comment, as it continued to be on the follow- ing Monday. In golden letters of script on one side of a bottom tier was the legend, Auld Lang Syne, and solidly embedded on the centre of the top tier in the deep artistic icing was a delicately shaped glass vase containing one large, fragrant, cream rose. On Monday afternoon from four to six, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings held a reception assisted by all the mem- bers of the family circle with the exception of the Lawrence's who had returned to Toronto, the urge of business necessitating Mr. Lawrence's presence in the city. Quite a large number of invited guests called dur- ing the two hours, offered best wish- es and congratulations and partook of the host's and hostess' kind hos- pitality. : On Monday evening the celebra- tion took oy a new and, to the prin- cipals of the. anniversary, an unex- pected phase when between fifty and sixty friends of Newcastle, Bowman- ville, South Dalisfton, Providence, Tyrone and other points assembled at the home to properly finish off the event so well begun by the more limited gathering of Saturday ev- ening. About 7 o'clock two large, deep seated, comfortably upholster- ed, wide-armed wicker chairs found their way into the house, and Mr. and Mrs. Jennings, much surprised, were asked to be seated in them. An appreciative and congratulatory ad- dress was then presented to the sit- ting couple signed by the committee, Mrs. Ira F. Pearce, Bowmanville; Mrs. Norman Allin and Mrs. W. J. S. Rickard, on behalf of all present « 4 and some who were anghle to at- tend. "The address explained that the chairs were just a little gift, a token of the lasting esteem of some of Mr. and Mrs. Jennings' many friends. Mrs. 8. C. Allin, Providence, then presented to Mrs. Jennings a ' huge bouquet of golden carysanthe- mums and marigolds. The honor ed groom and 'bride of fifty yedys, after listening tq a rousing chorus of "They are jolly good fellows,' thanked their donors in neat and grateful words.
