Pleasant surprise party marks Mr Drake birthday in Alexander
Neighbors and old friends gathered Thursday evening near Fisher to honor Mr William H Drake on his birthday with a lively old time social, taffy pulling, and a duet by Pred Baker and Wright Penrod. Mrs S W Radford near Fisher suffered serious injuries from a fall, dislocating a shoulder and breaking a collar bone, with friends hoping for a swift recovery. Wright Penrod’s drive to Athens ended when a curtain caused him to crash into a bridge railing and he disposed of the remains in a corn basket. The chicken stealing epidemic appears to have paused and various local musings followed about the Bard of Union and Professor Selam Tusser’s weathered expositions.
