Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary

Judge and Mrs. C.J. Crabb celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary Tuesday night by entertaining their friends with a big supper. The dining room was artistically decorated and wedding bells were suspended from the ceiling, which gave the room a beautiful appearance but the good things to eat set before us by the waiters, the charming daughters of the home, Mrs. B. Fitzgerald and Misses Lula and Stella Crabb, is what took our eye and claimed our careful attention for about oh! Well, until we gave out. On each plate was placed two cards. One was blank and the other contained two quotations, selected from various authors, and each guest was required to write the name of the authors of their verses. No one present succeeded in naming both authors, but six named one out of the two and the cards bearing their names was placed in a hat and one drawn out. Mr. J.W. McElroys name was drawn, and he was awarded the prize. Mrs. Nell Potts was awarded the booby prize. She named Happy Hooligan and Billikin as the authors of the two verses on her card. Mrs. Crabb received many beautiful presents, and congratulations and well wishes for many returns of the anniversary were showered upon the host and hostess by the guests. Those present were:
