Friandship,s Birthday.

That our Volunteer fire department is
the pride of the city was proven Tuesday
evening, the occasion being a birthday
party. And why not? The company is
composed of the cream of the city--the
strongest, handsomest and wealthiest-the
shortest and the tallest as we'll as the old
est and the youngest citizens, and their
wives and daughters are the bellies of all
social occasions too. As rule, birthday
parties, whose object is money making, are
viewed with suspicion, if not actually ta-
booed, but Friendships wasn't for the rea-
sons above given. Everybody was invited
and everybody went, carrying little bag
in their hand containing at least penny for
every year OF the bearers age. There was
profit in the old men and women, but not
much in the younger generation, because
every bag bearer received large saucer of
cream and berries and a generous slice of
cake. There was music too-singing by
fremen's sweet daughters and sisters with
Blasius piano accompaniment. Taken all
in all, it was the most enjoyable gathering
of Woodbury. folk OF the season, and the
pleasure was not confined to the fremen
either, everybody partook of that, and will
be as pleased to know that the total re-
ceipts amounted to $203.2l = with a net
profit of $175-as Friendships creditors are.
