Old Folks Party.
The home of Mr. an 4 Mrs. L. E. Blain
was the scene of a pleasant gathering
yesterday afternoon. Tne occasion was
a surprise party for Mrs. Blain'e mother,
t:n i i i . ..i . i i . I
n. uiTiier, in uouur oi usr ouu uinu
day. Several of the gneBts were pioneerB
and reminiscences of olden times weie
many. These were much enjoyed by
those who never experienced the pleas
ures of crossing the p uin in an ox
wagon. Dinnet was announced at 6
o'clock and consisting as it did of all the
delicacies of the season and served in
faultless style it must have brought viv
idly to the minds of several ladiep tires-
en t early privations, when as one lady
eald "You could not have given me any
thing so welcome as tl.nt glass of yeast
you brought, the first time you ranie to
see me." Around the table were seated
MeBdames Miller, Blain, Lyle, Stewart,
Moist, Altbouse, Irvine, Elder, Hendric
son, Thomas, Rose and Adams. The
combined age of these ladies was 823
years, three being over 80, three between
70.and 80, four betr.een 60 and 70 and
two oetween 50 and 60. The latter were
dubbed "the children" and felt that they
were not nearly as old as they need to
think a perion was who bad reached the
age of 50 veare. Time deals more gentlv
in this climate than where great ex
tremes are suffered and when the comp
any disported it was that moit of the la
dies, including two of the eldest might
take their accustomed places in the
prayer meetiog.
