McDermott at their home on the banks of the Elkhorn river, Tuesday evening, De cember 3rd, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of Jame s. About this time every year James has a birthday anniversary; we all know when the anniversary comes be cause it is always in the December snow. Jim looks just like he did when we first commenced helping cele brate. If James knows how- old he is, he says nothing about it; we know he is over eight and under eighty, but where he stops is hard to tell because Jim looks the same as he always did. Those taking part were Mr. and Mrs. I P. V. Hickey; Mr. and Mrs. John Hickey; Mr. and Mrs. Walt McNich ols; Mr. and Mrs. Joe McNichols; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Donohoe and boys; j Mr. and Mrs. John L. Quig. The even-1 ing was passed at cards, dancing and eating—mostly eating. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Griffin were absent; too bad some folks grow' old so fast; don’t quit, Tom, we miss the accordian very much. Everyone went home hap py. Here’s to Mr. and Mrs. McDer mott for another year of health, wealth and plenty of eats.” 0 Genuine 13-Plate FORD BATTERY $8.50 Allowance on old Battery ‘ -Jt ' »,, . . « .1* Ml All Ford owners are entitled to our inspection ser vice.
