    2. The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday July 23, 1897 A Pleasant Surprise. Last Wednesday was the 45th birthday anniversary of J.A. DUSENBERRY, and his friends and neighbors used the occasion to surprise him and his estimable wife. Wednesday morning C.H. HAYTER drove over and persuaded Mr. Dusenberry to come to Anthony with him an dwhile they were the gone the party arrived and took possession of the place. Mr. Hayter and his victim returned about noon, and when Jim saw how completely he had been caught he surrendered gracefully and gave them a hearty welcome. The good wives had come prepared with the good things necessary to furnish a square meal, and the baskets were well filled with just such eatables as a farmer's wife knows so well how to prepare. After the dinner hour, the afternoon was spent in social chat, vocal and instrumental music and later in the evening ice cream and cake were served to all present. At 5 o'clock the crowd dispersed wishing Mr. Dusenberry might live to enjoy many more such occasions and all counted it a day well spent. Those present were Messrs. and Mesdames, C.H. HAYTER, T.J. WEST, G.W. HOUSER, Leroy LAW, Wm. BARBER, E. SMITH, J.R. HARRIS, F.M. FERGUSON, F.M. EVANS, G. EVANS, A.M. SHERBURN, Sheriff MILLER, M. WARD, C. GOSS, S.G. MARTIN, Misses Maggie HARRIS, Cora SHERBURN, Minnie and Birdie EVANS and Clarence and Ray HAYTER and Alfred MILLER.
