: A very pleasant surprise party was
given B. w. Raymond at his home last
Saturday afternoon, it being his sixty
third birthday. About fifty were pres
ent and most enjoyable time it was.
The phonograph furnished some very
fine selections. Supper was served at
5 p. M, and they did all eat, after which
the phonograph gave us the 23d Psalm
and Lords Prayer, closing with "God
be with You Till We Meet Again" The
crowd then dispersed; wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Raymond many such occasions.
