Gave Uncle John Culp Pleasant Surprise on 80th Birthday.

Uncle John Thomas Culp was 80 years old Sunday. His good wife and Vic Culp planned and carried out a very neat surprise on him. She wrote to her and when the letters arrived she exercised a British censorship over them and when the date arrived Uncle John was not at all aware of the planned surprise. An elegant dinner w r as served and all had a delightful time. Among the guests were John G. Culp and wife and daughter, of Moody; William Walter, his son and. wife, of Battleground; Miss Rosa Rishling, of Monon, and Mrs. Phoebe Yeoman, of this city. Mr. Culp is one of the very oldest citizens of this county. He and his good wife have a host of friends who wish them many pleasant returns of this happy event.
