A Pleasant Surprise.

| riSASaUt SuIPUSS.
Seldom is seen merrier or more
congenial crowd than that which
gathered at the hospitable home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Maburin two
miles north of Brookfield, last Sun.
day.
The occasion being Mrs. Mahurin's
fifty-seventh birthday, the children
and grandchildren, nephews and
neices, conspired to give mother" q
genuine surprise birthday dinner.
Their plans wers well laid; and when
the father and mother returned from
church, great was their astonishment
to see the house and yard fairly over
flowing with relatives and friends,
who had gathered during their alb
sence, bringing a generous supply Of
good things to eat, and wealth Of
love and good wishes for Mother Ma
hurin whose heart is warm enough to
love them all from big Jolly Frank
Atwood, down to Baby Gladys, little
daughter of James NJ, the eldest son.
After half hour or more spent in
a social way, the guests proceeded to
the dining-room where each did his or
her part towards relieving the table of
its load Of good things.
The remainder of the afternoon
having been pleasantly spent in
music and conversation, the guests de-
parted, all feeling that they had
greatly enjoyed the day.
The following children and grand
children were present: James M.
Mahurin wife and daughter Gladys;
S. F. Mahurin, wife and nephew Vird;
Ounce Aber, vile and children,
Lottie and Jim of Laclede; and Har-
ry Mahurin and wife, near Laclede.
OF the nephews and neices the
following attended: Will Mahurin
and wife, near Laclede, accompanied
by their three daughters, Misses Efie,
Edith and Maud and two sons Charlie
aud Orville, Frank Atwood, wife and
two children, Mamie and Nova, and
Charlie Palmer, and Miss Daphia
Burroughs, a friend from the neigh
borhood.
The only thing to mar the perfect
happiness of the day, was the fact
that three of the children, Ed. L., A.
P. and Mrs. Margaret Goble, all liv-
ing in other states, were unable to be
present.
OF the many relatives and friends
and Of the many many more who
were there in spirit if not in truth,
not one but wish Mother Mahurin
many happy returns Of the day and
many long years of health and
happiness. 49, Cor.
