Day and James Flynn, and is now a gentleman of leisure, except for his poultry business.

Friends and neighbors of Mrs. F. M. Hayes of Barkley tp., to the number of 38. came in upon her unannounced last Sunday and reminded her that it was her fiftieth birthday anniversary. The heavy rain in the morning kept quite a number away, but the thirty-eight who came brought along baskets filled with the good things which the thrifty housewives of Barkley know how to prepare, and an elegant spread was laid for everyone to partake of. The afternoon was spent very pleasantly, and on departing the guests wished Mrs. Hayes many returns of the day. exchange tells of a farmer who hired an experienced boy to Help him about the place. One morning he told the boy to go and salt the calf over in the pasture. The boy took about a quart of salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it into the hair.
