The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 30, 1897 Birthday Dinner. One of the most enjoyable events that has ever occurred in this vicinity was at the home of Mr. C.R. LONES, Thursday April 22, in honor of Mrs. LONES' fifty-first birthday. There were about forty-five present. The ladies were employed in quilting a beautiful neck-tie quilt, which was a present to Mrs. Lones from her friends. Judging from the noise that was heard around it, it hardly seems possible that it could have been completed, but it is really remarkable how women can talk and work at the same time, so before we left the work was done. Soon after dinner was announced and each one proceeded to do his part towars removing the great load of responsibility that rested upon the legs of table. Among the presents received was a shirt waist set by Mrs. LYDICK, glass pitcher by Mrs. WYCHOFF and Mrs. JOHNSON; jelly dish by Mrs. Frank LONG; pair of gloves and hair dagger by Willie LONES and last but not least a big fat turkey by Mr. LYDICK. Towards evening the young people got together and entertained the crowd for a time by singing after which Mr. JOHNSON favored us with a song, and Mrs. BRITTAIN in her pleasing way recited a beautiful selection. Ice cream and cake were then served and about six o'clock all departed for their home, feeling that it was a day happily spent and long to be remembered. One Who Was There.
