Surprised Fred M. Snyder On His Sixty-First Birthday.

“Uncle” Fred M. Snyder was 61 years of age last Saturday and he might have forgotten it if it had not been for his neighbors and friends who to the number of twenty-five surprised him Saturday evening by gathering at the house before he returned from the country, where he had been barn building all week. A good supper was spread from the plenteous supply brought in by the guests and a nice evening spent. Mr. Snyder is now in quite good health again, having practically recovered from his heart troubles of a few months ago.
