Double Birthday Anniversary.

On the morning of Nov. 10, 1912, the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley d. John
son. At Selma, La, began to take on
gala attire, suggestive to the observer
of some form Of celebration. Soon
groups Of merry children began to make
their contribution of joyous shouts;
then we hear the hearty peals of laugh
ter which can spring only from hearts
running over with JOY, evidently OF
boys and girls just budding into pros
pective young manhood ard womanhood,
and finally we observe in this merry
group some who have passed the me-
ridian of life, and whose silyery locks
make known TO the world the fact that
their contribution of labor has been
made, and time remains now only for
the duty of love and example.
This assembly was in honor of the
twenty-sixth birthday of Mr.. Wiley D.
johnson, and the fifty-sixth of his IA
Their, Mr.. w. l.. johnson. When the
guests had all arrived there was held
in Mrs. Johnson's parlor, which was
beautifully and appropriately decorated

adapted to such an occasion by the fact
that the excellent model road so gener-

to its citizens passes through the town.

with evergreens, palms and numerous
paintings, family reunion, with the
pleasant addition of a splendid musical
program, rendered by Mrs. johnson
ably assisted by Miss Eula Nugent and
Miss Mag johnson. At this reunion
the following were present: Father
and mother, four brothers, eight sisters,
three brothers-in-law, two sisters-in-
law, six nieces and nephews. Absent
one brother, Ben H. johnson. The
most interesting fact was that to this
large family death was a stranger,
having never visited the home.
Exactly at twelve o'clock the sum-
mons was issued by Mrs. Johnson to
repair to the dining room and as we en-
tered its door we were made to exclaim,
Life is not an empty dream" The
sight of the long dining table with its
lavish display Of china, silver; and cut
glass, produced an aching void which
nothing short of the magnificent dinner
consisting of seven courses could fill.
