For the past even years Mr. Darius Cline and his beloved wife, Mrs. Lucinda Cline, have been celebrating his birthday as they annually occur. Mr. Cline is 88 years young, and his last natal day fell on Sunday last, and it was the occasion of a delightful picnic on that day, held just north of Granite Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Cline are the parents of four boys and five girls, with three of the former and three of the latter living. The picnic was a feast of good things to eat, and there was a flow of cheer and good fellowing and happy wishes for the honored guests that made it a delightful affair and one long to be remembered.
