The handsome reception hall, drawing and sitting rooms of the residence were decorated with the pink of peach blossoms and carnations and the long diniftg table was made very dainty with smilax and violets. " The guests assembled in tbe forenoon and were served tq a sumptuous dinner of oysters, soup, chicken croquettes* served with potatoes, corn and fresh peas, fruit salad, custard pie, ice cream and cake. As the company entered the dining room their attention was attracted to the center of the table by a very large birthday cake, surrounded by seventysix lighted candles which supplied tbe light to the room and .set off the artistic adornment of the table. When these were blown out and the blinds raised the guests could look through the opeh w.indows upon the glorious green and gold of the laden orange trees'in one of Mr. Harris’ orchards. As the guests partook of the savories and dainties of the dinner, a lively conversation was entered into by all and Mrs. Halstead was the sprightliest among them. A dainty and pleasing touch was added to the repast and to the occasion by the beautiful place-cards which were painted by Miss Flora Harris, of Rensselaer. The event was also brightened by the presence of Master Oscar Webster Harris, the five months old son of Chester C. Harris, a fine big boy whom Mr. and Mrs. Harris are proud to call their first grandchild, and also Master Oliver C.

Arrick Thinks He Still Garries Orin Day’s Ballet

Monticello Herald. -—- Harry Arrick was able to climb the Herald office stairs Tuesday and pay this sanctum a visit .in company with Hs Tafher,' AhrirewArrick. He begins to look like himself again but has a suspicion that he is still carrying Orin Day’s bullet, from a lingering soreness in his right arm. He seems to have an affinity for bullets, this being the third that has penetrated his anatomy. His first wound was received In the Spanish-American war, and the second from the accidental discharge of a gun while he was hunting ducks in a boat Both were in his leg below the knee. The third was more serious, and he is quite positive in the belief that he owes his life to the skill and devotion of Dr. Goodwin. He appreciates all that was done for him and is especially grateful to his aunt rMs. Eleanor Johnson, who has voluntarily paid half his doctor bill.
