 - At the residence of Friend Achilles Pugh, last Saturday, there was a birthday festival which commemorated the anniversaries of the birthdays of four persons, including Mr. and Mrs. Pugh, their grandson Murray Wildman, and nephew Murray Shipley.  Mr. and Mrs. Wildman, of Green Plains were down, and notwithstanding other members of the family, and invited guests could not be present, the "feast of fat things" and the good-will of the occasion were enjoyed to the utmost.  We wish our friends - the elder ones especially - many happy returns.
