A BIRTHDAY DINNER

On the beautiful Sunday Of Novem-
ber6th occurred the seth birthday ami
versary Of Graudma Brown, mother of
d. F. Brown, who resides ten miles
southwest Of Beaver. A large num-
ber Of relatives and friends of that
good Christian mother gathered at the
noon hour with well filed baskets and
to remind her that she had reached
another milestone in life.
The day being an ideal one for out
doors a long table was made ready in
the yard on which was spread a feast
of good things to eat and, if we were
to be the Judge, we would say the table
gave evidence of many good cooks.
Two lovely cakes were made for Grand
mas birthday, her age inlaid in
pink on each one. They were baked
by Mrs. II. L. Burke and Mrs.
Duley. After the crowd had done
Justice to the dinner, all enjoyed
the afternoon in social conversation
until five o'clock. After wishing
Grandma at least one more happy
birthday and thanking D. F. Brown
and his good wife for helping to
make the occasion most enjoyable
one, all returned to their homes feeling
they had made one more person happy.
