ON 72nd. BIRTHDAY

On Thursday, July 18th, jolly
party gathered at the home of Com
rade j. F. Billiard, it being the occa-
sion of his seventy-second birthday,
and at the same time the anniversary
of his wedding. All present enjoyed
the day immensely, as Comrade Bull

where one can see across it from six
to twelve miles. We saw the ex-
cursion boat Maud, crowded with
passengers about three miles off
shore, and many smaller boats with
pleasure-seekers taking advantage
of the Thursday half-holiday.
All present enjoyed every minute
of their stay, some playing croquet
on the lawn, some singing and hav-
ing other amusements. Mrs. Bull
lard with her assistants, served an
ample supply of delicious refresh
ments.
Mr. Billiard is past commander of
this great state of Florida, and also
had the honor to be one of the guards
who guarded jeff Davis and assisted
in the capture of the confederate
president.
This jolly crowd returned to their
homes with lighter hearts, hoping to
meet Brother Billiard again annually
until he attains his one hundredth an

clared it was a day to be long re-
