The Anthony Weekly Bullletin Harper County Friday May 28, 1897 Crisfield. S.A. STOUT has lost nearly all his hogs by cholera. He had quite a herd early in the spring. Mrs. SHORT is visiting friends in Attica this week and attending the convention. She is quite a church worker. J.B. HUGHBANKS and C.S. JOBES bought 500 head of two-year-old steers last week of W.G. MILLER of Lake City, in Barber county. We hope these gentlemen will realize a handsome profit from their puchase in the near future, as they are men of pluck and enterprise and deserved to succeed. Wednesday the 26th of this month was the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry MUSSENS, and their children planned a surprise on them the evening before. Their friends and neighbors to the number of 102 met at their residence eight miles northwest of this place to give them a reception, and never was a surprise more complete. The couple had retired for the night but were quickly awakened by their friends and they gracefully yielded to the occasion and made all feel at home. The good ladies all brought cakes and all present regaled themselves on ice cream, cake and lemonade which had been previously arranged by friends of the couple. A number of valuable presents were given to the worthy couple, and M. W. SHORT made the presentation talk. Every one present had a good social time and we never attended a more enjoyable affair of the kind. Mr. and Mrs. MUSSEN are held in high esteem by all who know them, and we wish them many such happy anniversaries.
