    3. >From the McArthur Democrat-Enquirer, April 23, 1919 "BIRTHDAY DINNER On last Thursday, April 17, a birthday party and dinner was given by M. L. KNOX, of the Pleasant Valley District, Richland township, in honor of his twin boys, Fred and Ed. This date being their twenty-first birthday. These two industrious boys who are very popular in their community, were honored by the presence of thirty or forty of their friends and relatives. An appetizing dinner was served by the ladies, consisting of chicken, bread and butter, of different varieties, coffee, cake and pies galore, jellies, salads, etc. and a general good time by all who were fortunate to be present. The twin boys were remembered by their McArthur friends as recipients of some useful presents. Mr. KNOX and his family appreciate the honor and respect paid his boys on this occasion and put forth every effort to entertain the invited guests in a royal and welcome manner. If Fred and Ed live to a ripe old age they will always remember their twenty-first birthday and regard it as an important epoch in their lives. The success of the occasion was the social feature, everyone present had a jolly good time. T. M. BUSKIRK was an invited guest. PROBATE COURT The will of Catherine HEIMAN, late of Zaleski admitted to probate. Earl SWANSON of Hamden was committed to the Boys Industrial Home near Lancaster, and taken there.

CHANGE OF OWNERS SHARP BROTHERS BUY GROCERY AND MEAT MARKET OF C. B. FRY Garnet and Otto SHARP have bought the grocery store on Market street near Main, from Charley FRY, and will conduct that business under the name of SHARP Brothers. They will conduct a meat shop in connection with their grocery business and will also sell and deliver ice. The new proprietors took possession Tuesday evening, and are now in charge. Both the members of the firm have had a varied experience and wide acquaintance, which will aid them greatly in conducting their business. Garnet was for several years an instructor in telegraphy at Chauncey, N.Y. and later a telegrapher for the C. & O. at Covington, Kentucky. Otto is just back from a rich experience in England and France, as a member of Battery F, 134th Field Artillery and says that engaging in a regular settled business will be a happy change for him after the turmoil on the French front."
