Sunday the friends of Mrs.
w. L. Glasscock gave her a
surprise birthday dinner at her
home south of Lexington. After
the services at the Mt. Hebron
church, the congregation follow
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Glasscock home
and prepared dinner on the
lawn. There we're one hundred
and twenty-five present among
whom was Mr. C. L. Glasscock
of this city, and his father, c.
B. Glasscock, of Kansas City.
The latter will be IS years old
in July. The dinner was a feast.
Everyone had brought large bas-
kets filed to overhowing with
nearly every known good thing
to eat. A description of this
dinner by our townsman, G. L.
Glasscock, would have provoked
a riot at Belshazzar's feats.

Whence came 1? Whittier go L?
wherefore am l here. Momen-
tous inquiries, upon the correct
solution Of which hangs the fate,
the destiny Of the inquirer. To
the thinking reasoning men,
these thoughts are naturally
suggested by the birth or death
of a human being. To us now by
the recent death of our highly
esteemed and beloved friend,
George Wilhoite Snyder, who has
been called to the vast illimit-
able beyond-the land of mys-
terry and conjecture which the
strongest faith cannot convert
into certainty. For to know is
the prerogative of Diety alone.
Man can only believe. Our
friend whose death we lament,
it may be selfishly-for if pur-
ity and kindness and charity to
fellow mortals meet it's reward,
in the hereafter, he is surely
happier now than when here.
In concluding these reflections it
is not our purpose to attempt to
eulogize our departed friend.
His life is a eulogy and speaks
for him in triumphant tones
with which our weak words
would lily compare. A brief
history Of his family relations
and we will conclude this imper-
feet tribute, which, however, il
may fail to express all that We
would say, is truly and sincerely
the offering which friendship
lays on his grave. George vii.
