II. Ewing on his eighteth birthday This
well-panned surprise proved to be a surprise
indeed. as Mr.. Ewing had no intimation Of
the affair until the carriages came driving up
to the house. AS the guests alighted, they
came pouring in upon him with their con-
CALCULATIONS and expressions OF good will.
Although surprised and acknowledging that
he was covered this time" he seemed to en-
Joy the fun as much as anyone present. In
response to the query, Chow old are you,
grandpap?' his ready response was Twenty
one." And indeed, although the frosts of
eighty winters have settled on his head, so
gently has time dealt with him that he has
the appearance Of a much younger man. His
is one Of the Oldest and most highly respected
families of the Fourth district Among the

pany was assembled on the lawn, another
| surprise awaited Mr. Ewing, when his child
rem presented him with a handsome reclining
chair. Rev. T. S. Holt, Of Lewisyille, made

by some very fitting remarks by Joseph Scar
