 Surprise for Mrs. MeNieoI.
 A surprise party in honor of Miss Mary McNicors attaining her majori- ty was arranged by some of her young friends for Wednesday evening, and proved delightful success Thirty of her friends gathered at the hospit- able home, and wished the mistress Of the house all kinds of good fortune. A dainty gold brooch suitable for the Christmas season was the gift by which she will always remember the cream wereeserved.
 When the party gathered on Main streets it looked as if an ambulance would have to be procured to convey some of the wouid-be visitors. Several were sneezing and coughing with in- cipient colds, one young man had all the appearance of grip patient another had his neck plastered pro- fusely as the result of too sudden contact with a rafter and still another was on crutches. But 1t was a case of nind-cure, for all the ailments were forgotten in the good time which fol- lowed.
