BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Henry Tandy Surprised on His Six
tieth Anniversary.

A unique surprise was successfully
carried ont on March 5, at the home
of Henry Tandy, who resides east OF
town about two miles. This special
date was Mr.. Tandys Goth birthday
but to increase the amount of amuse.
ment it was thought wise to surprise
the entire family. About IL o'clock
a. M, company of about thirty-five
relatives made way into the hospitable
home, also taking hospitality with
them neatly carried in well filled
baskets. The raiders were nearly as
much surprised when they saw the
captured one with his beard gone.
The table was soon spread with far
more than the comforts of life and a
pleasant, sociabIe, palatable noon
hour was enjoyed. The day was
dark and rainy but the sun shone in
side that home. A jolly good time
was had by everybody present. Ice
cream was served in the afternoon
and the company was entertained by
the graphophone. May many more
such pleasant hours be spent.

During his life he met with many mis-:
fortunes, yet he faced them bravely
and without murmur. He was of a
cheerful disposition, kind of heart,
and spoke no i'll of anyone. He did
not complain, but had said many times
during the last few weeks that "he
was ready and only waiting for the
summons of his Redeemer to call him
to his reward" 1t came, and he
sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. NJ.

1t is gratifying to note the large
number of school visitors as shown
by the above report. Parents and
! friends of the schools are welcome to
the special programs given during the
| year. But we wish more patrons
would visit the schools while the reg
ular WORK is in session. 1t is then,
and then only, that the school is in
its normal condition and attempts to
do the work for which the public
school was really instituted. We do
not wish fewer callers at the time of
our rhetoricals, but we do wish for
and cordially invite patrons to inspect
the daily work. Come and get ac-
quainted with the teacher OF your
child, advise with her regarding his
school work and inform her of any
characteristics or habits he has in or
der that she may be of the most ser.
vice.
