GOLDEN WEDDING
On January 28th, 1905 Mr. and Mrs. D. K. McLaurin celebrated their fifty wedding anniversary at the home of their son-in-law, Mr. W. F. Lindsey, of Ruston, La. Many of their friends were there to congratulate them and extend to them wishes that their last days should be their happiest.
All their children were present except one son who is away in New Orleans.
The time was very pleasantly spent. During the evening all were most highly entertained by several very appropriate readings given by Miss Grace Carter, the talented elocution teacher of Mr. Lebanon college.
After this all repaired to the dining hall where Dr. J. R. Edwards, oldest son of Mrs. McLaurin, in a few well chosen words expressed to them and those present the joys the occasion furnished. All were then bountifully served to many of the good things to eat.
The couple were kindly remembered by their friends with quite a number of one, five and ten dollar gold pieces as an expression of good wishes.
