A Birthday Dinner.

Although, Wednesday Feb 4th, was an in
clement day, quite q number of Mr.. Mark
friends met at his home, the county
farm. to help him celebrate his ffth-sixth
birthday. We found the worthy gentleman
and his estimable wife enjoying good health
and in a lively humor as usual. They are,
without doubt, the largest couple In the
county, their aggregate weight being four
hundred and thirty-seven pounds, avoirdu-
pois. Notwithstanding their size, the old
gentleman energetically attends to the many
duties that keeping the county farm calls for,
while his wife manages the household affairs.
The paupers are fourteen II number and are
we'll cared for. Mr.. Houser Is certainly
the right man in the right place.
The day passed pleasantly, and a magnificent
dinner was served to the following guests:-
Mr.. R. Campbell and wife; Mr.. David
Mitchell and wife; Mr.. Luther Wayman and
wife; Mrs. Lucian Wright and daughter;
Mr.. Godfrey shull, Mrs. Goodbrake, Col.
Henry Branch, Mr.. Richard Marshall. and J.
A. Locknart and wife. Late In the after
noon we bade the tovIsl couple goodbye,
wishing them both many more as pleasant
birthdays. j. A. j.
