mon about that fact, but it is quite an
uncommon occurrence to have both a
son aud a grand daughter, born on the
same day of the month. 1t is fact that
Mr.. Sulouff's birthday is the 22nd day of
February. The birthday of bis son,
Turner, is the 22nd day of February,
and the birthday of daughter of Turn
er is the 22nd day of February.
