Birthday Dinner
Mr. A. Sudderth was royally enter-
tained with a birthday dinner at his
home north of Lexington.
The dining room was tastefully de-
viated and in the center of the table
was a large cake upon which 45 can-
tiles were burning. As each guest
entered the room they took a candle
blew it out and made a wish, for many
happy returns.
After dinner the guests engaged in
telling stories of their younger days,
and many love affairs were brought
to light. Those who participated in the
event were: Mr. and Mrs. Hardwick.
Mi'- and Mrs. Robert Evans, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Sherman, Mr. and Mrs.
R. A Isom, Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Man-
sur, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Booker, Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Sherman.

Ladies Christian Aid
The Ladies Christian Aid met on
Thursday with Mrs. Pruitt. Owing
to the bad weather there was not a
large attendance and for that reason
will meet again with Mrs. Pruitt on
next Thursday.
Little Robbie Lee Boatright passed
away March 20, 1922, at her home
3 miles north of Lexington, after five
days of illness. She was born April
27, 1921, and was ten months and
21 days old.
She leaves a mother, five sisters
and one brother and a host of rela-
tives and friends to mourn her loss.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home,
Which can never be filled.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe in his gentle breast,
There by his love o'er shadowed,
Sweetly her soul shall rest.
