Surprised Mrs. Fox on Her Seventy-Second Birthday.

Mrs. Tillman Watson entertained her mother, Mrs. Isabel 1 Fox, March 26th, to a complete surprise dinner and postcard shower, it being her seventy-second birthday. She received fifty-five postcards some beautiful and useful presents. Among them were a flve-dollar money order from her brother, P. M. Benjamin, of California; a hand-made Jabot of tatten, her own work, from Mrs. Elizabeth Burns, of Monticello; also a silver thimble from her nieee, Miss Effle Wallace, of Monticello. Only two old friends and relatives were invited to dinner, the rest being so far away. The two invited were Mr. and Mrs. Bert Miller and Mr. and Mrs. John Hiems. The day was enjoyably spent with many wishes to her for many more such birthdays.
