A Birthday Celebration. On last Wednesday, Feb. 11, about 11 o clock, the friends and relatives of Mrs. Betsey Johnson assembled at her home to celebrate her 81st birth day. By 12:15 the table which had-been placed in the yard was ;well filled and loaded with a variety of appetizing victuals. When the older ladies were seated at the table and the younger ones took their places nearby, Mr. A. b. Craven came forth with a short but impressive talk. He spoke of "the tie that binds." in childhood, school days, kinship, old age and above all, christian love. He exemplified this with illustrations from the Bible. It was through these ties that we as- eniDiea ior such a social cause. Aufter. this Prof. F. M. Wright gave a thrilling yet inspiring comment on the purpose and aim of birthday din- ners. He remarked that two feelings always existed, one of the present en joyment, of both the food and the as sociation of friends and loved ones and the other of the parting time, which oft times comes at an hour when ye think not. He said further more that birthdays might be regard ed as mile posts in the journey to ward our eternal goal and here we ieel that our sister Johnson has but few more miles to go but may the Lord sustain and guide her even in her old age. He closed with a prayer in behalf of all as well as our honored guest. Dinner was then served and it seem ed as there might be numbers pf pro fessional cooks throughout the com munity and we are quite sure from the delicious flavors and tastes that cwy one was at least an experienced Mrs. Johnson (Aunt Betsy)-and her sister Mrs Moffitt (Aunt Sarah) live by themselves near Shiloh, as their nnS?Knds -haf already' scored their number of miles. To know these sisters is to love them. While , they live a quiet life they still fulfill their mission. Their lives are living examples of true Christianity. e Among those present were: Mr. and Mrj- Homer Moffitt and family. Mr and Mrs. F. M. Wright and &ni& Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Craven Mr tfr Mrs. W. J.

Driven by the hand of perse cution to quit their native land they sought a refuge in the trackless wilds of America, some of whom found a home in Ran dolph county, on the quiet, se cluded banks of the Uwharrie River, and laid the fonndntinn nf civil and religions lihprv ir Ro dolph county.
