'lt is not well for man to live alone ;"
SO sang the poet and so thought the
forty friends of Mr. and Mrs Frank
Fensler who gathered at their pleasant
and hospitab!e home seven miles east
of town yesterday to celebrate the
twenty-thlrd anniversary of their con-
nubial bliss. 1t was complete sur
prise upon the Fensler family, gotten
up by few of the knowing ones''
and the neighbOrs came bringing suf =
| icient provender to feed regiment.
A few favored ones from town were
there and they didn't bring q thing but
their appetites and nerve, which latter
was of the paine's celery variety, too.
The table fairly gToaned and so did
w q Fensler, after dinner. Mr. Edge
comb and family chauffed over in his
auto and after showing up the intes-
tines of the machine to the company,
announced that he would like to take
drive with the best looking lady
PRESENT.! Say, Mr. Editor, that little
episode down at that Birmingham
Baptist church the other day wasn't q
circumstance compared to the way
those women trampled down the men,
children, other women and the green
swsrd in their individual and respec
tive efforts to reach that auto and take
first prize In order to keep peace in
the neighborhood Mr. Edgecomb re-
sclnded the order and said he would
take the eldest. or course all those
fair, fat and forty maidens described
to the rear and Aunt Eliza Mckinney,
88 years young, stepped forward and
took the coveted ride. Grandpa and
Granpma Fensler, for such they are
now, with beautiful little piece of
humanity there yesterday claiming
them as such, were warmly and heart
lily congratulated and wishes expressed
for the return of many more such joys
for them. There be those who frown
and lift their pious palms in holy hor-
ror at such events occurring on the
first day of the week, but, if all of us
little units treat our fellow beings,
human and otherwise, as we would be
treated, in fact, exemplify every day
by our lives the most beautiful teach
ing that Jesus ever imported, we will
stand some sort of show of sneaking
under the canvas when Gabriel does
his trumpet stunt. ANTHONY.
A Communication.
