WATERFORD COUPLE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS Mr. and Mrs. George William Rowley celebrated the 50th annivers: of their wedding day on Sunday at their home in Broad street extension, Wa- terford. From an early hour in the morning until long after the usual hour for bedtime, numerous guests as- sisted “Uncle Bill” and “Aunt Mary Jane” to make merry and that success accompanied the intention was evident in the manned in which the seventy odd year young couple joined in the festivities. George William Rowley and Mary Jane Beckwith were married in the town of Waterford Dec. 22, 1868, and they have always lived in the town in which they were born. There were four children born to the couple and the children were at the reception on ,Sunday. They are Mrs. Willam Pifillips, Mrs. Arthur Haynes, Mrs. Spurgen' Bezanson and Miss Cora Rowley. There are eight grandchildren and they were also gathered at the festive hoard and ! joined in the romps with grarndpa and | grandma. The home was appropriately decor- ated, green nad gold predominating, and there were many gifts of gold be- stowed. Another attractive feature | was a large wedding cake, a miniature mountain of white, with: gold trim- mings and suitably inscribed with the letters and numerals, “M. J. B., 1888- {1918, G. W. R” Tollowing the dinner party there were games, m dancing and a general good time, and when the lights were low “Uncle Bill” reniinisced on the early days in the town of Waterford. BIG WEATHER CONTRAST WITH DEGEMBER, 1917 “Some difference between now and this time last year,” remarked Herbert W. Lucas. the local weather prophet, on Tuesday afterncon, as he took a look at the sky from in front of the Central building on Broadwaw “A year ago on Saturday it was 10 or 12 below zero ard I had a quarter of ton of coal the cellar here and was pushing everything as hard as it would go to keep from freezing. Now, today it has been nearly up to 60 on this thermometer in the doorway of the Central building, I've got both fires banked, and over 30 tons nf coal in the cellar to carry me alorg” Mr. Lucas, who is janitor at the Central building, predicts that there will be no winter to speak of this year. Al the signs point to an exceedingly mild eeason, he says, and the people of this section can be cure that they will have to endure no such biting cold as in the winter of 1817-1918.
