BIRTHDAY PARTY.

One of the pleasant events of the
week occurred at the residence of A. S.
Robinson, in west Centralia last Friday
evening, when the friends of Miss Bessie
to the number of about forty drove out
t. congratulate her on her apparent
recovery from so long and painful an
illness, also to remind her that she had
reached the 2lst mile stone on the
Journey of life. She was taken COM
pletely by surprise, vet arose equal to
the occasion, and circulated among the
many happy groups receiving and re-
turning their many kind wishes.
Although the rooms were 10 crowded
for comfort, time did not seem to hang
very heavily on any hands, but was
passed in music, various games and a
few waltzes, and as the hour drew near
when the new day knocks at the door
of the old, all took their departure for
respective homes expressing themselves
as we'll pleased with their evenings
entertainment. A noticeable feature of
the event was there being fifteen school
teachers and two county officials among
the company. Although Miss Bessie is
far from being we'll she is doing much,
and talks very strongly Of resuming her
school duties this coming week.
