(Speeial to The Bulletin.) . .J¥wett Cify, Dec. 26.—The famous ‘Round Hill farm was the scene Mon- day of a large gathering of peaple from near and far, who came in response to the invitations for the golden wedding afniversary of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Palmer. That Mr. and Mrs. Palmer have been =0 closely and pleasantly connected with local affairs and people for a half cen- tury, answers for the fact, that all those who so heartily joined in the ecelebra- ton Manday were pot only guests but triends. It is an every where acknowledged fact that no better ‘known breeder and ex- hibiter of blooded stock is to be found any where within the borders of New “ngland, than James B. or Round Hill Palmer, as he is often called. Mr. Pal- mer comes from an old family, his firs ancestors In America being Walter Pal- mer. who was born in Nottingham, Eng- land whom everybody said never looked bet- ter in’ his life, with his tall wedding hat, worn especially for the occasion, was born in Voluntown, August 6, 1844, the #on of Captain Benjamin W. Palmer and Betsy A. Babeock Palmer. He was twelve vears old when the family moved to Lisbon, which with little #xception has been his home ever since HOW HE ENDED KIDNEY TROUBLE. “I had o severe attack of kidney trou- i Lree weeks eould not get out reely_out of " wi Village Springs, Ala. “Coul 1 over at all without th pa 1 purchased a Foley Kidney Pills.
