are generally anxious TO secure share

on Wednesday, aud that q special

Eightieth Birthday Anniversary.

Last Thursday, Dec. I'd. there was
| q very pleasant gathering at the
| home Of James 9. Young, In this city.
| to celebrate the S0th birthday amir
yersary OF Grandmother Biddinger.
mother-in-Iaw Of Mr.. Young and Dir.
J. J. Fast. Over twenty persons were
present, many OF whom were quite
aged. Among the throng were Judge
Brobst. 80 years fage; father Momyer,
so wears: mother Sherman, between
10 and 81. With one or two excep-
tions all were from Ohio, and nearly
all from Ashland county. The Ma
iority were old settlers here, having
been in this county 20 to Is years.
As the guests gathered around the
well -laden table, and before aud after
ward. happy were the many ailusions
to the "eiden times" fall old peo-
pIe were like these we should gladden.
to grow older. We believe all pres
ent were professed Christians.
One remarkable feature was noticed.
Usually at an s0th birthday anniver-
sary meeting we find children. grand
children and great-grand-children.
On this occasion only three lineal de-
scendants were present. vtz; Mrs.
Young and Mrs. Fast aud son. These
two daughters and one grandson are
Mrs. Biddinger's only living decend-
ants.
May God grant many happy days
yet TO all those present on this occa-
sion. They all grow better as they
grow older. &.
