Dummit, northeast of Monett, where they very pleasantly surprised Elden Dummit, it being his 18th birthday. His friends were all around him before he was aware of the event. After the excitement was over they all participated in games and both vocal and instrumental music until a late hour, when they all departed, wishing him the best of health and future happiness. Those present were as follows: Misses Ethel Reid, Anna Redington, Eunice Woons, of Oklahoma, Madge Jackson, Vada Henson, Elsie Dummit, Icy Goodnight, Jewel Carter, of Colorado, Nancy Roller, Myrtle Dummit, Helen Perry, Marian Wilks, Jessie Dummit; Messrs.
