Pleasant Social Affair.
Last Saturnay was the eighty
third birthday of Mr. William Pat
terson, one of Ayr township's old
est aud most highly respected
citizens. Mr. Ephraim Houck is
Mr. Patterson's tenant faruier.
Inasmuch as Mr. Patterson is one
of the very best of landlords, it
occured to Mr. and Mrs. Houck
to give their landlord a surprise
birthday party. Preparations
for a splendid dinner were made,
invitations sent out to about three
dozen mutual friends, and at the
appointed time' Mr. Patterson
was taken into the parlor and let
into the secret that had been so
car3fully kept from him up to
this time. Ofctursehe was de
lighted, and the friends present
were glad for the opportunity of
taking their old friend by
the hand and wishing him "many
more happy returns."
Mr. Patterson is a rema:kably
well preserved man for one of his
years. Being a man of temperate
habits, his mmd is as clear as a
bell, and it is a great pleasure to
sit and listen to hi in as he re
counts events that happened in
the Cove in the good days of auld
lang sine. He told the folks that
day that he almost felt like a
stranger in his own home. All of
his associates of early days had
passed from earth. His father
died rifty-seven years ago; his
mother, forty, and his wife fifteen
years ago.
He was born and reared on the
farm that he now owns, and has
sent his long Ufa upon it, with
the exception of the last live years
which have been spent in the
home of Hon. D. A. Nelson.
lie does not think it any great
feat to walk to McConnellsburg,
a distance of five miles and re
turn; also, he generally walks to
church, preferring to do so rath
er than to ride in a carriage.
M r. Patterson related the fact
that during his younger days he
hauled hundreds of cords of wood
to McConnellsburg, and, said he,
"I got paid for every stick of it
except two loads, and one of the
men that owes me is dead, and
the other has left the county."

HONEST SHOES
Aore shoes sold in April and Aay than in four months
last year. Scarcely a day passes that we are not asked for a
pair ot shoes like a pair bought last season. This tully dem
onstrates that we are selling honest shoes at honest prices.
The fact that we bought our spring shoes before the heayy
advance m shoes has placed us in position to sell you shoes at
old prices which means a big saving to you. Remember a
dollar buys shoes worth a dollar here.
We will be pleased to show you anything in our line and
will leave it to your good judgment to decide whether it pays
to trade here.
