One of the most enjoyable events that the people of Friend have participated in 
for some time was the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. WOLFE on 
last Tuesday evening. The guests began to arrive at about eight o'clock, and by 
ten the dance was well begun and continued until near three a.m. There were 
about one hundred and eight guests who did ample justice to the elegant lunch 
prepared for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. WOLFE were presented with a beautiful 
silver tea set by their friends, consisting of seven pieces, and a very fine silver 
cake basket by the bride's brother, Mr. Theo. PARKER. The presentation was made 
by Hon. J. D. POPE in a neat little speech.
