MYERS

Here we are again with another
birthday dinner to report; COM
plete surprise, too, to the recipient of
honor. According to previous ar
rangements, much baking had been
done, and Sunday morning, as usual,
Mr.. N. H. Bible, together with his
family, motored to Sunday school.
During their absence, more than one
hundred and fifty of his relatives and
friends gathered at his home with
well filled baskets of the choicest
foods, consisting of chicken, ham,
pies, cakes, and other things too nu-
merous to mention. When Mr.. BIZ
BILE and family returned home the
surprise that met his gaze was so
complete that he was awed to such
an extent that an expression of his
appreciation was deferred for some
time. Automobiles were parked all
around table almost the length of
the front yard loaded to the limit,
together with so many friends who
greeted his arrival that he was aston
ished, indeed. The occasion was a
most agreeable one, and many old
friends who had not met for years
renewed their acquaintance. Among
the happy conversations, Mr.. Tom
Hull, of your city, announced that
he was on the job, and if the babies
would be quiet for minute he would
show them bird. And in few
minutes the camera with it's audible
click through a fine tense of modern
skill all the details were stored. I'm
mediately following, Rev. W. A. Hull,
Of Mosheim, in very elaborate man.
ner, asked Gods blessings and ap-
prevail on the occasion, after which
Esq N. C. Bible, father of N. H.,
invited all present to help themselves.
Of course John Hull was there, and
he asked US to lead him up and down
the long table and make him wise to
stack of cherry pie and banana cake.
Of course he devoured chicken and
other good things, but on reaching
the cherry pie and banana cake, to
save our life we couldn't get him any
further; we leave it to Ern Brown to
say what became of the above men
toned edibles. Uncle John Bible
was there, and though the snow of
many winters was on his head he
professed to enjoy the repast very
much. Oh, yes, Dan Harrison was
there but he couldn't hold light for
US when it comes to eating. Those
from a distance we remember were
T. S.. Hull and family, C. P. Bohannon
and family, of Greeneville; A. M.

Hull and family, H. Rollins and fam
lily, w. E. Hendry and family and
