Read More	The celebration of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Krauss of the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding on the 10th was a most pleasant event, not only to the gentle hearts of the couple who have stood side by side in life's shadow and sunshine for so long, but to their children and grandchildren, and to many friends who gathered during the day and evening to enjoy it with them. During the day a family reunion was held, and on a table thirty feet long in the shade of the yard a bounteous dinner was served to children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and kinspeople. All the children of the family were present, Mesdames W. H. Howie, J. M. Niven and Mr. Frank Krauss, of Waxhaw; Mr. W. S. Krauss, Mesdames J. E. Efird, H. F. Taylor and Miss Amelia Krauss, of Monroe. Of their 33 grandchildren 29 were present, Dr. and Mrs. W. R. McCain of Waxhaw have the only great-grandchildren of the family, three little boys. There were only two guests, Mrs. Rachel Alexander of Mineral Springs and Mr. G. D. Broom of Monroe, who were at the wedding fifty years ago. During the evening from 8 to 10 o'clock a large number of friends were received by Mr. and Mrs. Krauss. Notwithstanding the fact that the invitation forbade presents, a large number were sent, in testimony of the high appreciation in which Mr. and Mrs. Krauss are held. There were many gold coins and various articles of gold for use or ornament. The home was attractively decorated with roses and potted plants. The color scheme in the dining room was in yellow. In the center of table was heaped golden fruit, from which extended a crystal vase of yellow flowers; a slight distance from edge of center piece was an artistic garland of buttercups and yellow rosebuds. A three-course supper was served. Receiving at the door were Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Bundy. Serving in the dining room were Mesdames Elizabeth Covington, W. M. Gordon and H. A. Pate, Misses Annie and Kathleen Nelson at punch bowl, and little Misses Sadie Bundy and Alleine Krauss serving mints. Misses Mary Futch, Olive Boyte and Nellie Bundy ushered the guests to and from the dining room. Mrs. Krauss was Miss Wolfe of Union county. Mr. Krauss is a native of Germany. When Prince Henry, brother of the Emperor of Germany, made a speech to the German citizens of New York some years ago, he told them that they could best honor their country by making good citizens of this, their adopted one. According to this royal standard Mr. Krauss has lied, for there is no better man or citizen, native or adopted, in our country than he is and has been these many years since he came here. The sincere wishes of hundreds of friends is that Mr. and Mrs. Krauss may yet enjoy many more years together.

Krauss, one of the oldest women of Monroe died at her home on Lancaster avenue Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
