On Tuesday of last week, Blair
S. Hess reached the seventeenth
mile post in his journey through
life, and that the event might be
pleasantly impressed upon his
memory, about thirty of his school
mates and neighbors assembled
at the home of his parents, ex
County Treasurer and Mrs. Sam
A. Hess, Needmore, R. R. 2.
The young folks played games
and the older folks talked about
talked about-just whatever
they thought about and so the
evening was passed along rapid
Iv. when refreshments in the
shape of plenty of cake, lemon
ade and candy were served. In
stead of going home after the
refreshments had been served,
the youngsters played more
games and the older people
thought .of more things to talk
about, and the first thing they
knew it was "to-morrow."
Blair is proud of the nice lot of
presents he received.
