Surprised By Their Friends The neighbors of John Cable and wife gave them a great surprise Monday evening. At about 7 o’clock Mr. Cable on answering a knock at the door, beheld about fifty of his neighbors who had come with baskets well supplied with dainty refreshments to spend the fifty-first wedding anniversary evening with them. Uncle John said he had friends in the south who resembled some of the jubilee singers. A short program was rendered beginning with the song “Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet” followed by the sweet and ever popular melody “Old Folks At Home” and “Swing Low Sweet ’ Chariot” and other favorite southern melodies. A short sermon was delivered by the Rev. Erastus Emanuel John Phillip Henry Spoutwell of Darkville, to the ladies of the diffeient thimble clubs and societies. There were also some comical sketches given by the children. The program seemed to have been enjoyed by all present both old and young. Refreshments were then served, and the evening passed in a social chat. Those present were: Ferd Self, wife and daughter Louise, Fred Hoch, wife and daughters Clela and Gretchen; John Kaiser, wife and daughters ! Geraldine and Lorrain; Milton Rent- | frow, wife and daughter Esimo: ’ David Blue, wife and two sons; Mrs. J Walerius and granddaughter Dorris . Shultz; Mrs. John Beck, Mrs. Eli Grissom, Mr. Mathews and two■ children George and Goldie; Mrs. Jacob McNutt and Donald Cruthers, Adam Darr, wife and son Earl; Ocal Craft and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wolfe, Daniel Wolfe and wife, Mrs. A. C. Brower, Mr. and Mrs. Eagles and sons. Allan and Merrill; Raymond Vorhis, wife and two sons Robert and Dale; Miss Della Otis, Rev. Ayers, wife and two children; Mrs. Ella LeCount of Cromwell, Mrs. Dora Mock, Mrs. Etta Strieby and Wilma Weaver. Last Wednesday’s Storm The storm last Wednesday was a mild sample of a western blizzard for the school children. Nearly all of those attending school here in town from the'country remained somewhere in town over night. At the Crowl school house the pupils started home but they were forced to return to the school house and wait until their parents came after them. At the Guy school house the children made their wav to the nearest homes and there remained all night making no effort to get to their own homes. The hack which carries the children from the Crow district to the Moore school went after them on that evening but up until Tuesday it had not been able to take them to school again owing to the immense drifts. Ford Rodibaugh of Milford, has cold the Joseph Estep farm to B. F. Green of Oregon. Mr. Green formerly lived near Cromwell. Consideration $7,600 for the eighty acres.
