One of those good old fashioned chicken dinners wa,s served, where the tables groaned with their weight of mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken, baked beans, pickles, bread and butter, cherry pie, coffee, fruit, and last, but not least, a gorgeous birthday calfe, on which was inscribed 1837-1913, R. L. Dufield. The day passed all too rapidly and as the assembly was about to break up "Uncle Doc" was tendered a birthday surprise id the form of a f*urse, which held $19.
