Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 October 1909 — A PLEASANT SURPRISE. [ARTICLE]

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

To say that Jasper Cover was not surprised Sunday when friends and relatives to the number of 75 were assembled at his home when he returned from a field where he had been showing his brother-in-law, Mr. Frame, his crop, would be entirely a mistake. But it was indeed a very pleasant and one to be long remembered by him and also all who were present. At the noon hour a most delightful dinner was spread and all partook of same with the thought that if they ate of all the good things they would 'be ready for a trip through the desert and live as the camel, without food for several days. Mrs. Kessler, the photographer, of Fair Oaks, was there with her camera and took the photograph of the table as it was spread and the people as they sat at same. Those present from out of the neighborhood were Mrs. Alta Sutton and little daughter of Lowell; Mr. and Mrs. Luther Frame and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jarvas and Ida Shreeves of Demotte; Mr. and Mrs. Omar Wilcox of Mitchell, S. D.; Mr. and Mrs. Korah Potts of Barkley tp.; Mr. and Mrs. William Wilcox and son, Mr. and Mrs. James Wiseman and children of Alx; J. C. Smith of Parr. The wife and brothers and sisters of Mr. Cover presented him witha nice chair, and all left, wishing Jasper many more happy birthday anniversaries. * A GUEST.
