Quite an amusing incident occurred
at the home of Mr.. e. Brown, the
builder, who lives in this place. A
number of his friends planned a sur
prise party for him Wednesday night.

He supposed it was to be given to our
genial grocer, H. F. Brown, of the
blue front. and that the party was to
make his home a starting point to go
to Grocer Browns. Accordingly e.
Brown prepared himself for the visit,
as he thought, and after the guests
had gathered he asked the question
II it was not time they started over
for Mr.. Harry's. About this time he
learned the party was to be held at
his home, and the joke was on him

he Is one of those genial fellows that
can take as we'll as give.
