seemingly endless questions. He
complimented the mon their good

interested in the proceedings of the

profitably spent.
On Tuesday evening of last week
William Leach received the surprise
of his life when a group of friends
walked in at 1880 o'clock exclaiming
Happy Birthday" All brought
gifts, some of which proved TO be
amusing jokes. His natal day also
inspired the writing of several
poems by the ladies. We reproduce
limerick by Miss Emma Ashmead
that seemed quite appropriate:
There was an artist named Leach,
Who went out TO sket on the beach;
He asked her to pose,
She cried, "No!" and arose,
And fed quite out of his reach.
After the gifts were opened a
huge pound cake. surmounted by
q candles, was brought in, since he
admitted being u and over. The
fun continued while a feast of good
things was served. Those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Person,
Mrs. Mary Ashmead, Miss Emma
Ashmead, Mrs Annie b. Harrington,
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Vinyard, Mr..
and Mrs. Powder Thomas, Mrs.
Carrie Sharp, Miss Elizabeth Lank,
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Person and
Miss Lucille Person.
Since surprise" parties seem to
be in order another complete sur
prise was given to Mrs. Annie B.
Harrington on Friday evening. She
appreciates most sincerely the kind
thoughts that prompted it. On this
occasion it was three tables of
bridge, including the attractive
prizes and the most delicious re-
freshments. Those present were
Mrs. A. W. Boone, MIR. and Mrs. A.
M. Melvin, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Moore, Mrs. Harry f. Mitten. Mr..
and Mrs. Sharp l.. WILSON,. Mrs.
