III Splue Oh the DdQ rOduS ana
showers we had Sunday about for
ty-five of Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe
Seymour's friends and neighbors
crowded into their home southwest
OF town. AS mentioned in those
columns some time ago that the
Seymour's had purchased fine
house and lot in Atlantic and were
going to babe good bye to th,ier old
home. Some one of their many
friends presented it's good thought
of a surprise to some one elise,
and thus a surprise on the Sey-
mours was planed. AS stated in
the last weeks paper that the old
folks were returning from visit
to their daughters, sMrs. j. Jensen
and family, the neighbors had it
all fixed up before they arrived, so
no phonins would lie necessary lest
the secret be revealed. The crowd
was all Johnny on the spot" came
in the fore noon and brought their
we'll filled baskets. And the two
long tables were set. Well, it
looked "fit for king" sit down
to-. The guests had humors and
appetites as good as the most kings
ever have and enjoyed the meal to
the limit. We say meal but we
meant meals as they ate All they
could hold at two different times.
AS it all tasted so good. After dim
ner visiting and talking of various
incidents took place. During the
afternoon a beautiful large rug was
given to Mr. and Mrs Seymour there
by showing to their friends their
appreciation of their kindness and
loyalty to their neighbours and
gave the presentation speech. If
the weather had been more favor
able many more would have turned
out and it would have filled the
house to its capacity. May peace
and prosperity go with Mr. and Mrs
Seymour to their new home in Att
antic.
Misunderstanding done by the day
either at my home Or at customers,
as preferred.
