"A Complete surprise.

Last Friday evening, as had beer
previously arranged by Mr. and Mrs.
q. f, Gates, about twenty-five of our
citizens met at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. j. M. McNay at 1880, we'll armed
with cake, ice cream, fruit, etc, and
all marched in body to the residence
Of j. N. McIlvain and wife. To say
this genial couple were surprised
would be using very mild language.
Mrs. McIlvain had her sleeves rolled
up washing dishes, while Jap, as he
is famiharly called, was swinging the
dish towel to beat the deuce. They,
however, soon finished, and the guests
took full charge and all seemed to en-
JOY the visit to the fullest extent. At
$3.50 o'clock the invaders had the priv
ilege Of testing the provisions they
had carried with them, which were
pronounced excellent. This was q
farewell surprise, as MIR. and Mrs,
McIlvain moved from our city to
their fine farm, three miles northwest
Of town, the first of the week. No
persons stand higher III society and
have more friends than they, and
their many friends are glad they have
moved no further from our city.
Three miles is a nice summer drive
and we predict many callers for them
during their stay on the farm. This
jovlal crowd left for their homes
about II o'clock, leaving their best
wishes with the surprised couple.
EYE WITNESS.
