Last Sunday was a day that will
long be remembered by Grandm
Parr as one of the happiest in a.
her 81 years of life. The occasio
was a birthday surprise party b
about 50 of her near relatives an
friends. The party had made prev
ious arrangements as to a meetin
place, consequently the processio
was a lengthy one and Grandp
seeing them from his windo1
thought it a funeral and while h
and his good frou" were wonder
ing who could be dead they turne
and drove up the lane leading t
the Parr home, and as the tw
viewed the happy faces of thei
friends and loved ones, they realil
ed that not sorrow but Joy was i
store for all. In honor of her birtf
} day Grandma was presented wit
a handsome rocking chair. Thel
is nothing more commendable tina
Frightening the days of those WIN
are young no more in years but al
nevertheless dearer than ever.
