A company composed OF our young
people were out last Tuesday even
ing to respond to an invitation which
had been circulated on the quiet and
were to surprise Mrs. S. y. Hildreth
on her 9th birthday. They were
very successful in accomplishing the
wish TO surprise the elderly lady and
We're treated welcome guests and
were given full sway of the house.
OF course as young folks always are
up to making such occasions merry
by pla wing games, etc., it was quite
essential that this company should
indulge in something of that sort,
and as result majority rules it. was
decided to play ''postofice.''' We
learn through them that postage in
y. S. had raised as it took about 20
one cent stamps to carry an average
letter but nevertheless the postofice
officials were said to be busy delivering

Valentines Day-however there was

forwarded at the time. They were
entertained to their hearts content

When it comes to running for office

to running after moving train he is

sively in this city this noon when the
gentleman tried to catch the eastern

gaining and so Mr.. s. had to give up
the race and tarry in the city few
hours longer with his friends.-Daily
