Friends and Neighbors Surprise
Mr. and Mrs. Ora Davis on
This Event
Last Thursday evening a happy
cene occurred at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ora Davis In Murray. It oc
curred to quite a number of their
friends that It would he in order to
give these estimable people a gentle
reminder of this fact in the way of a
surprise that it was their sixth wed
ding anniversary.
And it was indeed a surprise in
the fullest sense of the term. After
the invaders had stepped in upon this
worthy couple and Mr. and Mrs. Davis
had recovered from the surprise the
evening was spent In various games
and merry-making of various kinds.
A sumptuous repast was spread with
many good things which the crowd
made way with in short order. But
one lonely cake remained untouched,
and this was furnished by Miss Fay
Oldham. It happened that the day
previous was Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Holmes' wedding anniversary, and
this fine cake was provided in honor
of this event. This master-piece or
work was beautifully ornamented and
added muchly to the decorations of
the table, but when all vacated their
places at the table the cake remain
ed untouched, for why we were un
able to find out. Miss Fay denomi
nated the cake an "Irish Stew." This
perhaps had something to do with the
suspicion of those present. Mr. and
Mrs. Davis were the recipients of a
beautiful set of china cups and sauc
ers and a fine vase in honor of the
event, and'when the time arrived for
adjournment all repaired to their
homes with the wish that such a
happy event may occur many times
as down the pathway of time this
estimable couple travel.
Those present to enjoy the happy
event were Mr. and Mrs. J.M.Holmes,
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith, Mr.
and Mrs. Glen Boedeker, Dr. and Mrs.
Gilmore, Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Pitman,
Misses Pauline and Fay Oldhaf,
largerle Walker and Mattie Mannear,
Mrs. Adda Stokes, Messrs. Will
Brown, Art Montgomery and Albert
Young.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Philpot and
wife left on the evening train Tuesday
for Omaha, where Mr. Philpot will
look after the stock market in South
Omaha, while Mrs. Philpot will do
some shopping.
One We Forgot.
Many times the newspaper man
forgets items of interest that are
brought to his notice, and the Jour
nal man was guilty of this act only
a few days ago, when we were told
of a very pleasant evening spent at
the pleasant home of our good friend,
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Long, west of
Murray. On Wednesday evening of
last week a number of friends gath
ered at the palatial farm home to
enjoy a few pleasant hours with the
best people In Cass county. Those
present were T. W. Fleming and fam
ily, S. W. Copcnhaver and family,
Chas. Mutz and family, James Kel
say and family, and Robt. Shrader
and family from Furnas county. At
the usual hour refreshments were
served.
A Pleasant Time.
Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Burnett en
tertained a number of friends at
heir home one day last week in honor
of the newly elected county surveyor,
Fred Patterson and wife. Mrs. Bur
nett had prepared one of the finest
dinners that It had been the pleasure
of those sitting down to for many a
day. The preparation was made foi
quite a number of the warmest
friends of both families, but Mr. Bur
nett residing on an unbroken road
(and the snow being about two feet
deep) it was Impossible for any of
the Invited guests to be present, ex
cepting Mr. and Mrs. Patterson and
Louis Ranard and wife, they being
the nearest neighbors to Mr. Burnett.
If you are acquainted with Fred Pat
terson and wife you know that the
raging waves of the Missouri river
would not keep them from a good
time, so tho great banks of snow de
tained them but a short time.
The Patterson's have been guests
at the Burnett home a number of
times and well knew what was In
store for them, but the kind hostess
completely outdone all former occas-
The fine home of Prof, and Mrs. J.
Asch near Murray last Saturday even
ing was the scene of a more than
pleasant surprise party which drove
from this city to surprise the popular I
professor and his charming wife. And
to Bay that the guests had a pleasant
time Is to draw it very mild. They
had far more, they had a great big,
glorious time. Leaving this city dur-
Ing the afternoon in a big bob sled
with a fine team and Will Egenberger
officiating as driver, the party made
record time on their trip to the Asch
residence which Is the old Dr. Wiley
place, arriving there In time to take
supper with their surprised hosts.
They found that the handsome par
lors of the home were prepared for
their coming and great warm fires
roared a summer's welcome to the
guests. They also found that one of
the best suppers they had ever en
Joyed was on the tapis, there being
everything which womankind could
devise in the shape of eatables with
real, genuine, spring chickens as the
piece de resistance of the many
courses. That this supper suffered
severely before the vicious onslaughts
of the party whose appetites had been
whetted by the long drive, is not to be
questioned. Even without the aid of
the drive, the delicious and delicate
cooking of Mrs. Asch would have as
sured the disappearance of the viands
like the dew before the summer sun.
As it was, several of the party were
forcibly taken from the table by
chaperon Matthew Gerlng who found
his hands full in handling such an
unruly crowd. Of course, some often
are uncharitable enough to say Mat
thew himself was the real effender in
respect to making Mrs. Asch's handi
work look sick but he denies this as
he Is chaperon, he must be believed.
Anyway, they all agree that no bet
ter feast was ever set before a king
than that which they had on this
visit.
Following the supper came an even
ing of social conversation with music
of all kinds and of thevery highest
ions this time. It is said that when
Fred saw the good thing on the
table, he saught a quiet corner,' loos
ened his belt, and untied his shoes
that he might be in a position to do
justice to the meal, which was the
finest he ever expects to see again.
Following this pleasant event the re
mainder of the evening was spent in
social conversation.
Mra. Fleming Entertains.
The Larkin's club and a few in
vited guests were royally entertained
at the home of Mrs. Torence Flem
ing Tuesday afternoon. It Is needless
to say that all enjoyed themselves
greatly, for all who have partaken of
Mrs. Fleming's hospitality know they
always have a pleasant time there.
A lovely three course luncheon was
served to which all did justice. Those
present were: Mesdames S. Copen

much appreciated. In fact, the entire
