His neighbors and friends gave a
surprise to Mr.. August Rieke last Fri
day night, it being the eve of his de-
parture for Vaterland. About a dozen

possession, land had a good time. A lit
tie music and a good deal of talk passed
the evening all too rapidly. Though
Gus was really surprised, the feminine
part of the family had been placed
next,and as the clock struckt the hour OF
nine, the self-invited guests were called
into the dining-room where an elegant
lunch was served. After that a smoke,
and then "Goodbye!" with wishes ex.
tended the host for a pleasant voyage
and safe return.
Our old friend, Thompson Blanton,
of the Flatwoods, got a good ducking
while driving through Stout's creek
at the railroad bridge about noon
Monday. AS Thompson started across
the ford he turned the horse up stream
to deeper water 80 the animal might
drink. Then he started to drive out;
the horse got into eight or ten feet
of water, turned the buggy over, and
threw Mr.. Blanton out, drenching him
from head to foot. The horse swan
out and Thompson got out. To a boy
like him of three score and ten, the
experience was nothing at all. But il
is a dangerous ford, all the same, and
should be remedied.

Sunday, the 18th, I had the unusua
experience of partaking of two birth
day dinners. At high noon I put m.
feet under the mahogany at DR.. f. w
Trauernicht's who that day rounded
out his-I think-thirtieth year. Tht
eatables were beyond compare anc
my appetite conforming. At night
sat me down to an elegant repast a
Mr. Edgar F. Kellogg's given in homo
of his better-half, who on that SAM
day had turned the corner into he

tell me her age, unless she be Veyl
young or away along toward the othe
end of the line.) To all concerned il

tends the fervent wish that their day
may be long in the land, and tina
each succeeding year may be fraugh
with happiness beftting the felicity o
those proceeding it.
