Married 45 Years’
On Tuesday of last week it wad forty-
five years since Rev. W. H. Groh unit.
ed in marriage Miss Phoebe Weber
and J. Henry Meyer, both of Boale-
burg, at the home of the bride’s par-
ents, ir. and Mrs Jacob Weber.
This was March 15, 1866, a dreary,
rainy day. After partaking of 8 wed-
ding breakfast the groom and his
bride atarted on their wedding trip in
a carriage, the groom’s brother being
the driver. The first obstacle found
in the path of this young couple was
placed there, so it is said by good au-
thority, by John Q A. Kennedy. It
was a rope fastened taut across the
roadway, a common barrier in those
days, and not unlooked for by these
young people, The easy removal of
this obstruction evidently indicated to
them that all subsequent bamiers in
their lives colild be overcome by the use
of their best efforts, and it proved so.
The first stop on this eventful honey-
moon journey was at the home of
the elder Felix Burkholder ; thence to
Reedsville and Lewistown, where
they boarded the train for Harrisburg.
Two weeks or more were spent amoug
relatives in the eastern counties,
and then they returned to enter the
struggle with the reset of mankind.
They began housekeeping on a farm
west of Biate College, afterwards
they moved to near Centre Hall, a
short time at Linden Hall, and in
1876 they located on a farm west of
B oalsburg, where they continued
farming for thirty years, and four
years ago Boalsburg was again made
their home.
Mr. and Mrs. Meyer are the parents
of four children, and while they have
had sickness in the family, death
never yet entered their home, Burley
goodoess and mercy followed them all
the days of their lives, as says the
Psalmist,
On the evening first named above, a
surprise was planned and eflectively
carried out by thechildren of Mr. and
Mrs, Meyer, and some of the good
neighbors. The couple were indue-
ed to go to the old home, presided
over by Miss Annie Weber, in Boals-
burg, for supper, and while they were
erjoying the freshly recalled incidents
or almost a half century ago, others
were busy in the Meyer home fitting
it for the event unlooked for by the
bride aud groom of forty-five years
At last everything was in readiness,
the room having been decorated in
lavender and white, snd the figures
“ 45" prominently displayed. There
were bouquets of carnations, hya.
cinthe avd jonquils, for an anniversary
like this would pot be complete with-
out the pretty, suggestive flowers.
The scene upon the arrival of Mr.
and Mrs. Meyer in their own home
the writer will not attempt to describe,
because it is impossible to do so.
Elaborate refreshments were served ;
there was music, recitations and
speeches. Of the guests present there
were but two who were at the wed.
ding, namely, Miss Weber, who was
but a tot at that time, and Mrs, Sarah
Musser Mweeney, who was a bosom
friend and all through these years
continued as such,
From the brothers who could not be
present there were letters of regret ss
well a8 remembrances, and these
Intter were also received from the
friends present, There was much
good wishing on the part of the guests,
and especially that Mr. and Mrs,
Meyer should be able to celebrate their
fiftieth sopiversary and others in
addition.
Those present were :
J. H. Meyer, George E. Meyer, Mr
and Mis Nevin Meyer, Mm. W. E.

Last week mention was made of the
fact that Sheriff Harley, by command
of the court, brought Jonas Foust be-
fore the judge, aud that the court gave
the youth over to the care of his fath-
er, Lewis Foust, against the boy's will.
Youpg Foust was placed in the home
of Jobn Bubb, at Red Mill, by his
father, but he was discontented thers,
and on Monday night he arose from
his bad, saying he was sick and want.
ed to go down stairs. That was the
last seen of him in that quarter,
Rumor has it that the boy, thirteen
years of age, that night went to Co
burn, aud in the morning took the
train at Coburn for Phoenixville,
where it is supposed he again joined
the Jerome Auman family with whom
he had lived for three or more years,
The sheriff was about Potters Mills
on Tuesday, and it is sald he was look-
ing for some one not old enough to
vote for him for Republican county
chairman, and the conclusion was
drawn that that he was hunting
“ Yony,” as the boys know him.

In times past the country listened
to the call of the city, but a change
both social and economic, has taken
place and the country calls the city, a
condition which will, no doubt, be an
uplift to social and industrial condi
tions in general, An example of this
is the coming to the farm of Mr. and
Mrs, John F, Zeigler, of Altoons, and
Prof. W. F. Zigler, of pear Phila
delphia, both of whom had been
called to the cities a number of years
ago. The brothers bpamed together
with the former's wife have taken
charge of the John Zeigler farm, in
Haines township, vacated by Mr,
Zoigler in 1880, and since which time
four tenants —David Bowersox, Henry
Zeigler, John Bubb, and Thomas
Beholl-—have occupied the place for

RESULTS OUR MOTTO.
The New Idea is not the cheapest manure

BEST MACHINE on the market. It is
worth many times more than the difference in
the cost. The draft is light. The work is
done perfectly, Always ready for action. The
New Idea Manure Spreaders at public sales have been bringing top prices. That counts for much.
A lime pan is furnished if you want to use it for spreading lime ; alsoa traction band, if you
if you want to haul on snow or ice, otherwise it is not needed.
These are only a few of our Implements,
There is nothing the farmer needs in the implement and machinery line that we do mot carry.
Most of these are constantly on hand and we are willing to order anything else you may want.
