family expense for shot guns, mar
bles and kites. While smoking at
the Elders expense, the REPORTER
extends it's heartiest congratulations

sorrows and Disappointment of the

w. NJ. Paul was 81 years old
on Tuesday, and in the sevening a
large party Of his friends assembled
at his residence and made him a big
surprise. The band turned out
and the first thing "Panle" knew
they were discoursing some Of their
elegant music in his front yard. The
cordiality Of the friendly visit will
always be red letter day in w. Ms
life. He wants us to tender his sin-
cere thanks to the band boys for
their splendid music, and above all,
for the friendship the visit eviden-
ced; as well as to the many people
who made his home so bright with
their presence on that evening.
Well, "Paule, !" theREPoRTER hopes
your shadow may never grow less,
and that you may be as well able, in
another thirty years, to ''get away"
with your hash as you are now,
