Hilton, celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary at their home at Westminster. S. C., on the 19th instant. The Tugaloo Tribune contains an interesting account of the occasion with good pictures of the aged and Godly couple. The following is the account as taken from The Tribune: "The Golden Wedding Anniversary of Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Duffle, which was celebrated at their home in Westminster yesterday afternoon between the hours of four and seven, was a most happy and enjoyable occasion. It was a beautiful spTing -y and the invitations sent out met " ith a general response. After the guests had chatted together for some time, a 'Floral Wedding Story' contest was in order. A dozen or more questions were written on a sheet of paper and the answers required were names of flowers. The *ize, a box of candy, was won by Mrs. J. L. Singleton. "The rooms were appropriately id tastefully decorated for the occasion. In the parlor the dates. 1865?1915, suspended from the wall. A lot of choice home made 'Int candy pas placed in the parlor and elsewhere convenient fo rthe guests. "Rev. and Mrs. Duffle received numerous handsome and useful presents of gold, gold coin, silver and chinaware, cut glass, etc. Among the presents, a ten and two five dollar gold pieces were noted. "At six o'clock dainty refreshments of cake and ice cream were served, which was quite a treat to all. After the refreshments Mr. A. Gaines read out a number of ques'ons of things unknown in the days of our ancestors, the answers to them being modern inventions and discoveries. "Rev. George Gary-Lee of the Methodist church, read a portion of Scripture and offered prayer. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. R. A. Sublette, a Raptist minister.

Rey. end Mrs. Duffl* started or. *he iourney of life as hmbiind and wife, the ceremonv being nerformed by Rev. R. R. Dagnall. who is perhaps the best known minister of the South Carolina Conference. Mr. Dagnall received for his marriage fee thirty-six dollars in Confederate monev. which was soon found to b" worthless as a result of the lurrender. which had not been learned at the time of the marriage. Rev. Dagnall was preacher in charge of the Westminster circuit for a couple of years. It was deeply regretted that he could not be present at the golden wedding cer-Mivnv, es no one was here who attended the wedding fl'ty years ago. "Rev.

He began preaching the Gospel early in life and united with the South Carolina Conference at Marion in 186fi, one year after his marriage. Bishop Wltham presided at that annua' conference. As an intinerant Methodist preacher Rev. Duffle is familiar with the work that comes before the old time 'circuit rider* and 'lie nastor of a flourishing city bureh. He has been a most faith1 "Soldier of the Cross,' and doing 'lis pastorate no charges were ever hronght against him and Tip always 'eft his circuit free from debt. For "ome years nast he lias been on the supernnuated list, holding no regn* charge. but continues to preach "evernl sermons durine the year by fecial appointment. Before comine 'o this county Rev. Duffle resided at Lancaster for several years. He has one living brother, John Duffle, lawyer In the patent office at Washington. D. f\. who is 79 years old. Rev. Duffle has received into the church an average of fifty members annually during his ministry. "Mrs. Duffle Is 68 years old. Defore her marriage she was Miss Ella Stott. She was born In this state, but removed to Mississippi with her parents when a little girl. After the death of her parents she came hack o South Carolina. She has no living brothers or sisters. "Rev. and Mrs. Duffle have two sons, six daughters and eighteen grand children. The children are ?s follows: Mrs. R. O. Elliott of Greenville. Mrs. C. M. Rhelton of Douglasville, Oa., Mr. Charles Duffle of Alvln, Texas. Mrs. S. M. Ellison of Winston-Salem, N. C.? Mrs. T. L. Hilton of Lancaster. Mr. .Tame* Duffle of Spartanburg. Mrs. A.

Says Some One Has Playtsl n Trlok on Him. Uncle Hurcly Montgomery called at The News olllce Tuesday afternoon very much disturbed in mind and body. In his hand he held a white card, which he handed us and which proved to be a post card with a firstrate picture of the old fellow thereon and printed above the picture ; ihese words: "Hardy Montgomery, born 1799, I one hundred and sixteen years old. supposed to be the oldest negro in he state, still living. Lancaster. 3. 1915." Handing us the card he commened. "Now liaint this a turrible come off, usin* me dis way to make money 1 and me gitten* none of it." At this 1 point we interrupted him with the ' inquiry as to who had taken the plc; ture. He replied: "Can't tell ver ter sabe my lit'e. Yer know des 1 got sich curious ways of doin' things des days, yer can't keep up wid 'em. I I jes' bet de fellow dat played dat trick on me is de son of one of dent Yankees dat come hare to Lancaster j iess after de war and cut up so many 1 capers. Now, what I wants to know is jis dis, can't dis feller be wotched | up wid and de plcters took from him? L)ey tells me dat dem Yankees up Norf is jiss naterally crazy about old niggers and as I is de oldest one anybody knows of, I'm de one dat j oughter be gettin' de money out'n de picter, fer God knows I needs it." We tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters of the old man's troubles. but without much success. We I finally suggested that he go and see Postmaster Hunter and get him to , see his brother, the magistrate, and get him to grant hi ma writ of Racum Cum Fetclium for the fellow who perpetrated the outrage upon him. This seemed to satisfy the old fellow and he hobbled away mutter-1 ing to himself, "Well, well, well, fore God der's some mighty curious folks in dis world, but I believe dat Mr. j Hunter kin fix it up and git dat chap dat worked dat trick on me." Social News Mrs. Oliver Rlackmon entertained at a very enjoyable rook party Wednesday afternoon. The prize was won by Miss Pearl McManus. There were five tables. A salad course was served. yz yp Miss Ida McDow entertained the Rook Club and several other friends at a delightful aur.ir Friday afternoon. Three tables of players participated in the games.
