H.D. Leigh was 73 years old Saturday, and his children and grandchildren gave him a surprise birthday dinner Sunday. They flocked to his house after church let out, bringing the feast in picnic baskets. His 11 sons and daughters and five grandchildren were present, besides his wife, his father-in-law, Mr. Foister; and his daughters-in-law, Mrs. A.V. Leigh and Mrs. Otie Leigh; and Mrs. Otie Leigh’s mother, Mrs. Evans. On the big birthday cake the figures 7 and 3 were formed in lighted candles.
