Mr. and Mrs. Baker Hold Reception.

Four persons who were in attendance at the ceremony fifty years ago were present Sunday on the happy occasion. They were James O. Huffman and George B. Harrell of Shelbyville, Ind., Dr. Samuel S. Harrell of Noblesville, Ind. and Dr. Charley W. Harrell of St. Louis, Mo.
Mr. Baker was the son of the late Rev. Peter J. Baker, a minister for many years in Shelby, Rush and Boone counties. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, after residing in Shelby county for seven years, moved to Lebanon, and in 1908 they moved to their present location where they have made many friends. They have one son, Dr. H. L. Baker of Lebanon, one foster daughter, Mrs. Grace Sutphin of Rosston, Ind. and three grandchildren, Laura Louise Baker of Lebanon, Morrison Harrell Baker of Akron, Ohio, and Harrell Bishop Sutphin of Rosston, Ind.
The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Baker have a host of friends throughout the state was assured last Sunday when a hundred relatives and friends came with well filled baskets of the choicest food and many pretty and useful presents for the happy pair.
The entertaining rooms, porches and yard were made very attractive with baskets and vases filled with Golden glow, goldenrod and marigolds. The yellow and gold colors were carried out in all the table decorations as well as many dishes of food with the same color suggestions.
After the guests had been served to the bountiful pitch-in dinner a short program was given, the most important part being a mock wedding ceremony which caused much merriment.
Late in the evening ice cream, cake and lemonade were served to the guests and to a number of afternoon callers who came to extend greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Baker.
