Last Saturday was the birthday an
niversary of j. w. Buffum, and we will
venture that very few of those who
know him we'll will suspect that he has
reached the 87th milestone in llfe's
journey, as he looks and acts ten years
younger than that. Mr.. Buffum has
always been first class citizen of Clio,
and as one of his large number of
friends The Messenger would congratu-
late him upon the health and vigor with
which Providence has blessed him in
his age and would beg to express the
hope that those blessings may be con-
tinued for many years to come.
