sent a good substitute in A. H. Hoff
man. Many oubjects were brought
before thiB committee and were dis
cus cd, pro and con in a b-oad way.
These resolutions r.re just to malte
pcop'o think, ::nil come pre .ared to
help decide by c instructive criticism
or evie'ent approval, whether they
must stand or fall. They may seem
rad'eal, but it just voices a change
wanted from always letting the far
mer pay most of the taxes. The far
mcr wishes to divide the bunion with

received quick re ponsc from the com

MR. AND MRS. C. F. GATHER
V.'EDUED FIFTY YEARS
On Tuesday, December 5th, Mr
nd Mrs. Cfliarlca F. Gather of this
city celebrated the fiftieth anniver
sary of their wedding. Mr. and Mrs
0.ither were married in their old
luine near Winchester, Virginia, in
1872. They were born and grew up
in a country township in Frederick
county, near Winchester. In 1883
M Cather followed his father, Will
iam Cather, and his brother, George
Cather t the west. The father and
brother had moved to Nebraska some
years before. In the spring of 188o
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cather came to
Nebraska with their four small child
rcn, Willa, Roscoe, Douglass and Jess
ica. They lived for two years on Will
iam Gather's homestead in Catherton
townsliiy, Webster county. On his
son's arrival, William Cather and his
wife, Caroline, gave up the respon
sibilities of the farm :.nd moved iit
Kcd Cloud. After two years on tho
farm, diaries Cather and his wife
ulpo moved ino Red CI ud, in order
lo privh'e tchooling for their grow
ing family. Their three children,
James, 1'ilsie and John wore born in
Red Cloud, making in all a family of
seven children. Mr. and Mrs. Cather
brot.ght this large funv'ly of seven t.)
m mhood and womanhood in Red
Cloud, and the children wore all edu
cated in the Red Cloud public sch ols
Of these chilrpn only two now vsfMc
in Red Cloud, Jessica, now Mrs. Will
iam Auld, and El.io C".Micr, who i
this winter teaching in the high : cho 1
in Lincoln. Every child of this widely
scattered fmn'.ly, however, still calls
Red Cloud "home", and to each of
them it is tho home town.
Roscoe Cather, tho oldest son, is
in business in Casper, Wyoming
Douglass Cather 13 in business in
Los Angeles, Calfornia. Willa Cather
the author, lives in New York City
James Cather and family live in
Holyokc, Colorado, and John Cather
whom we all know as "Jack" lives
in Smcthport, Pennsylvania.
All of the Gather children but two
came homo to Red Cloud for their
(parents' Golden Wedding, and t
glorious mild winter weather, tho
brilliant sunlight and wonderful moon
light of this week have given a
.gulden atmosphere to this unusual
celebration. Mr. nnd Mrs. Cather
have never lor.t a child, and their
family circle has never been broken
by a death. Through a long stretch
of years, their children have been
healthy, active men and women. They
have attested their loyalty to thcL'
homo town by com'ng back to it .from
distant sta'es and countries on every
possible- occa. ion. Tho country nbut
Red Cloud, our Republican river, our
beautiful autumns and sunny winters
and fertile fields, even some of our
amu. ing "local" characters havo been
made known to tho world through
the novels in which Willa Gather
lovingly describes tho country of her
childhood, Commercial Advertiser.
