PHEASANT OCCASION.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Norris Given a
Surprise Party.

-
Surprise Party.
Some OF the friends and neighbors
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Norris, who
reside near Bollinger school house,
about four miles out from Reynoldsville,
conceived the idea OF giving them q
birthday surprise party, and they didn't
want to make two parties, but the
birthdays do not occur on the same
date, Mr.. Norris birthday was July 3lst
and Mrs. Norris occurs the 10th OF this
month, so the matter was finally settled
by having the party August sth, half
way between their birthdays. Thurs
day morning Mr.. Norris, who Is NJ
years old and can do a good days work,
went TO the harvest field and had to be
called in when the invited guests began
TO gather. IL proved to be delightful
occasion, the most pleasing social event
that has taken place in Shamoka In
many years. There were about 115
persons present. AT noon time long
table was spread in the orchard and the
table fairly groaned under the weight
of good things that had been prepared.
Some Of the Reynoldsville gentlemen
who were present, whose names we will
not mention, did groan after their ca
pacity compelled them to quit eating.
After those present had satisfied the
Inner man" there was enough left TO
feed another hundred people. Mr.. and
Mrs Norris were the recipients OF some
useful and valuable presents, among
which were three rocking chairs, two
sets Of silver knives and forks, cuckoo
clock, Oxford bible, parlor lamp, cush-
ions, toilet sets, towels, glassware,
dishes, vases, and numerous other ar
ticles.
After the dinner was over Rev. Harry
G. Teagarden, Phi. D., pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, of
which Mr. and Mrs. Norris are men,
bers, read chapter from the new bible
first Psalm-prayed and delivered' an
appropriate address in an easy and elo-
quent style. Rev. Teagarden, in be-
half OF Mr.. and Mrs. Norris, thanked
the people for their tokens and express
sions OF love and good wishes.
William Norris was born in Alle-
gheny county, Pa, July 81 1881. He was
married to Eleanor Gillespie in Alle-
gheny county, March 10, 1853. They
came to jefferson county in 1854 and in
1856 bought and moved onto the farm
where they now live. They are num-
bered with the Oldest settlers in that
section. Mrs Norris was born in Ire
land August 49, 1896, and when three
years old her parents emigrated to Am
erica and settled in Allegheny county.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Norris settled on
their present farm it was a vast wilder
ness and their home was log house.
Now they live in q fine residence.
Their farm contains 141 acres, 100 acres
OF which Is cleared and well cultivated.
Unto this couple nine children were
born, six of whom are living, two sons
and two daughters, Daniel and John,
Eliza and Eugenia, are at home yet.
Mary Jane is married to Isaiah Wolfe
and Eleanor is married to James Van
dervort.

a doctors care at the hotel and about
midnight Mr.. Black went to the sick
mans room to see If he wanted any
thing, and he asked for pitcher OF ice
water. Mr.. Black started down stairs
to get the water and when within one
step of bottom OF stairs he supposed he
was down the stairs, and there is where
he tumbled, with above results. The

August Term of Court.

The August term OF court opened In
Brookville Monday with Judge John
w. Reed on the bench. John s. Moore,
Of Brookville, was appointed foreman Of
the grand jury and Constable Charles
II. Shocks, of Barnett township, tip
stave in charge of grand jury. The
tipstaves appointed for court room are
L. s. Short, of Brockwayville, Taylor
ID. Rhines, of Brookville, and ii. f.
Bargerstock, OF Bell township.
There is the largest attendance at
court this week there has been for some
time. When court opened there were
1S cases on the criminal docket. Some
of these cases will likely be settled and
some continued.
One of the cases disposed of by the
court Monday afternoon was that OF
Peter Conley, of Falls Creek, for keep
ing n slot machine In his billiard room.
Conley was sentenced to pay $1,000 line,
costs of prosecution and undergo an i'm
prisonment of ten days in the county
Jail. Judge Reed this considered very
light sentence, and only made IL light
because the young man did not own the
machine. The next man who goes up
before Judge Reed for keeping slot
machine, or any other gambling device
in his place Of business, will not get off
AS easy as Conley did. We mention
this now as it may save some person
serious trouble in the future. There
are various kinds of slot machines and
other gambling devices in some busi-
ness places in Jefferson county that
would place the proprietors Of the busi-
ness places behind iron bars If reported
to court. Persons looking for such de-
vices might not have to travel far II
Reynoldsvile was the starting point.
