SURPRISED UNCLE PHILIP.

Tuesday evening, about fifty guests, mostly G. A. R., and W. R. C. members, assembled at the home of comrade Philip McElfrosh to surprise him on his 70th birthday anniversary. We guess they did, for when that busy, bustling Corps with a spirit of harmony and unity prevailing, gets a “bee in its bonnet,” we are found to be on hand with well filled baskets. We had a good supper, a joyous time socially and the comrade received a few tokens of remembrance. Rev. and Mrs. Hall of the Christian church were present, also Mrs. Dr. Caldwell of Mt. Ayer. ***
