Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Bringle were given a big surprise birthday dinner June 13th at their home at Mulberry schoolhouse by their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and other relatives. Mr. Bringle was 85 years old May 12th and Mrs. Bringle was 85 years old June 12th. They were very much surprised to see so many cars arriving tat their home and parking under the large shade trees. When 12 o’clock came a table was stretched under the beautiful shade trees and a bountiful dinner spread out for Mr. and Mrs. Bringle, and they soon found they could not eat it all. They invited the crowd to assist and after thanks was rendered by Venus, all helped themselves to this fine dinner. There were 17 families present. This was one of the finest birthday that Venus has enjoyed for some time. They all departed in the evening wishing Mr. and Mrs. Bringle many more happy birthdays.
