ti! ifetol Ip Mat M0MBIA,li6ArR COUNTY, KENTUCKY, WEDNESDAY DEC. 11, 1912. NUMBER 6 YOLUMF XVI Three Birthdays. The village of Cane Valley is not very large, asmany readers of the News know, but it is large enough to have three persons dwelling in its midst, whose birthdays areupon the same day, the first of December. These persons are: Misses Julia Moo re, Pinkie Callison and little Miss Mary Martha Hutch inson. This bright little Miss is but two years of age. The writer also has testimony as to to the ages of the other two, but as they are a might old er than a youug bride of the village, the writer holds her peace. Because of these young ladies and this little Miss having birthdays on the very same day, the hospitable home of Mr. "Will Smith was thrown open and his daughter, Mrs. Charity Moore, entertained in honor of them. Mrs. Moore was assisted by Mrs. Wil Jie Hutchinson and Mrs. Susie Page. These ladies served to forty-one guests, one of the most sumptuous dinners One of the kind one reads about, and the mouth fairly waters for some of the savory dishes. So a de scription will be withheld, having much pity for those who could not partake of the bounties which Mrs. Moore prepared. Each of the young ladies received jiice presents December the first was upon Sun day. The young people went to Sun day School and attended church serv ices, then went to the home of Mr. I .Smith. While the writer connot ap 2rovo of making the First day a day of visiting and banqueting, yet she was much pleased at the quiet, sincere en joyment of the company and with their becoming behavior on this .day. The day was ideal. The affair a most enjoyable one. Mrs. '. T. V7. COMMISSIONER'S SALE. A DA 111 CIRCC1T COURT OFKESTI'CLvY. Uettie Rupe&cPlffs., vs v.
