We notice by our Democratic ex-
changes that Gen. Geo. w Morgan
s rapidly coming to the front as
,andidate for United States Senator
He is our first choice, and it would
be a mark of wisdom on the part Of
the Democracy to elect him to that
position. He is capable and honest,
and besides is no chronic Office
seeker Hllsboro Gazette.
How long is it since the Gazette
md all the democratic papers in the
land were bawling themselves hOarse
tbout the ''salary grab in Congress ?
But now, forsooth, it declares its
preference Ior a ''salary grabber" IS
its candids for U. S. Senator !!
Gen. Morgan not only pocketed the
grab" but he is, besides, a man of
very ordinary ability, not to be com
pared with Pendleton, Ewing, and
a dozen other Democrats we could
name, He is mighty ''poor timber"
out of which to make U. S. Sena-
tor.

EDITOE News Having recently partic-

residence Of Mrs. Ella MuIleniz, two miles

for space in your valuable paper to give an
account of it, for the qualification Of those
of her friends who were not present
There were about l25 guests, all Of
whom we're relatives, excepting a few near
neighbors. They met to celebrate the seth
anniversary of her birth. It was perfect
surprise to her, but did not seem to dis
compose her in the least, pleasantly greet
ing each one, and enjoying the occasion
very much.
After a very pleasant time of hand-shak-
ing and congratulations between old
friends and relatives, from different States,
counties and townships, tables were placed
in the yard, and covered with edibIes in
great variety, to which all paid their de

No portion Of the continent of America
presents so much of grandeur, beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, in the vicinity Of the beauti-
full CITY of Denver. The magnifcence of
the mountain scenery Is equaled only by
that of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even TO that Of the Alps.
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becom-
ing recognized as the most delightful in
America for either health or recreation.
Hundreds Of people. tired of the resorts Of
the East, are going to spend the sumner
in the grand oldRocky Mountains amid its
parks, majestic snow-clad peaks,

Another surnrIse Partv.

.
With your permission, Mr.. Edi-
tor, I will give your readers a brief
account of one that occurred in the
southern part of Paint TIP, on We'd
nesday, Oct 31st, at the residence Of
Alfred Spargur, IL honor Of the 68th
birthday of his father, Henry Spar
CUR.
Between the hours of nine and
ten the friends came thronging in,
while 'Uncie Henry" had to confess
to a complete surprise, as he had
had no hint of their coming. All
passed off quietly until about noon;
when the ladies, eager to show the
contents of their baskets, set the
long table in tho yard, and such an
array Of Iuxuries I never before wit
messed. Dinner was announced,
and after Rev Keys had returned
thanks. the company fell to work as
though they had all been fasting
preparatory for the occasion. Now
came our opportunity to count
"Unole Henrys children, grand
children and great-grand-children
who were present, and VIC found them
to number eighty-fve.
After dinner the company retired
to the house to talk over the pleas
ure of the meeting, and their past
ups-and-downs in life. About 3 o.
clock Rev. Keys quieted the din, by
reading the 42d and 43d Psalms, and
leading the little assembly in prayer
The company then dispersed and
returned to their several homes
feeling that it had been a day well
spent, and one that would be cher
ished in memory for years to come.
The following are the names Of
those present Hardin Roads and
wife, John Taylor and wife, Rev
Keys and wife, Henry S. Foraker
and wife, Adam Redkey and wife.
Samuel Newell and wife, Mrs. James
Hughes and children, Geo. Miller

faculty Of mind and body to a remarkable
degree. Herhearing is about as good as it
ever was. which is very rare for one Of her
age, and don't think any one considers
her childish in the least degree. She had
not seen some of the company for y or l.
years, yet in all that crowd, as soon as she
saw them, she knew them. She was the
second child Of David ard Sarah Pulse,
who removed from Virginia to Highland
county. in 1917. She was married in the
year 1909 to Thomas Muneniz, who died
II years ago. She had I3 chiIdren, Of
whom are still living. forgot to aseer-
tain the number Of grand and great-grand-
children She has. They were not all pres

s.Aunt Nellie" lives with her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh sheP-
pard, who have made a great sacrifice II
order that she might be comfortable in
her declining years. HerIast days promise
to be her best days
We will mention one incident which re-
minded MS of the difference between the
present and tie time when ''Aunt Nellie
vas aeirl.e Her.son. presented her dress
patterd d s1fysrds, when some Of US were
s.Iittle 'ehagriRsd t0|hsar her say, she only
needed eight, and that was all she ever
used. She learned the art of making q
dress out of that quantity when a girl.
and like a sensible woman, as she is, has
.bssu satisfied ever since How provoking.
that nc. matter how economically Inclined,
With all the Ingenuity We. can command, we
cannot nor cub a dress out Of less thar
about fifteen or t0eaty yards! And then
there is the humilating fsct staring US in
the face, that after all the extra expense
and labor, the young ladies of 0lr time are
not near so successful in the main bust
uesssof a young lady's life, as our mothers
were in those days of Z2t5s dresses. Are
they not to be censured, for not teaching
us the art of making dress out Of eight
wards, in which we should look as hand
some as w. know tEeg musthave looked,
to. succeed IN getting such 'Teal nice
Young men for husbands as our fathers
But alas. alasl We fear it is another Of
the ''lost arts.
Time sped away so fast atbefore we were
aware of it, the hour had arrived for us to
separate. 1t was an hour Of deep solemn
ty, knowing, as each one did, that in al
probability those affectionate brothers and
sisters would never all meet again on earth.
Oh. may each one, with those who have
gone on beforal hear, in the great day Of
Judgment, the welcome Plaudit, ''Well
done thou, good and faithful servant, en-
ter thou into the joys Of thy Lord. ."
The beautiful and appropriate hymn, Yes,
we Will Gather at the River, was sung, af-
ter which very touching prayer was Of
fered by Rev. James Shoemaker, and then
came adieus and partings; but the day will
notsoon be forgotten. RUTH.

OLD MURPHY HIMSELF CAPTURED.
Near ''Straightout, a station on the
Columbus & Maysville R. R. (tbat is
to be) a short time since the old time
friends of Uncle Aleck and Aunt Lu-
cinda Murphy gave the old couple a
very agreeable surprise, by gathering
at their old home with well filed
baskets, for the purpose of having a
good old time. There were present
about fifty of the old settlers, with
about the same plumber of the youHg-
erfolks Of thensighborhool, ana all
seemed intent on pleasing and being
pleased. Many were the old Incl
dents related by the old white-haired
veterans, and listened to by the
younger part of the assembly.
As for eatables, there was a heap
of "good things, pound cake,
sponge cake, short cake, long cake,
and the whole family Of cakes.
Everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely, and to the honor of
the party let me say the vile tongue
Of SANDER was not heard. All felt
the better for being there: long may
the entire party live, to do good and
make old hearts glad Why mot have
many such gatherings while we are
blest with health and plenty?
OLD FOLKS FRIEND.
