On Monday it showed and bowed.
In the evening one OF our genial
townsmen living on the hill, came in
to Zepp's print shop, and seemed al II
very uneasy. He went out and re-
turned with nearly 58 friends, catch
ing the printer by the ears while he
was at the telephone, which reminded
him that it was his 37th birthday. Mr..
Houck, the mischievous toll-gate
keeper, kept the printer at the
phone until the crowd came in. The
teachers wife, our nearest neighbor,
and the man on the hill, aided by all
the neighbors and friends, made the
evening success-one never to be
forgotten. First was harmonica
music, then accordian, followed by
violin, mandolin and guitar, and by
one of the best graphophones around,
owned by man near Lineboro- OF
course refreshments were served, in
Guiding, ice cream, cake, lemonade,
&c. lit was treat to all present,
especially to the printer, who often
heard Of birthday parties, but never
experienced real one until he was
81 years of age. Mrs. Zepp planned
the surprise and the neighbors and
friends carried it out to perfection.
Even the peck of peanuts" was I'm
evidence. Numerous presents were
given. Nothing was left undone to
make the evening enjoyable. The
