UNCLE JIM'S 72nd BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY

The children and grandchildren of Mr. James T. Glasgow, father of Judge A.H. 
Glasgow, gave the good old gentleman a birthday dinner at Uncle Jim's home on 
Monday, December 26th, celebrating his 72nd birthday. About fifty of his 
children and grandchildren and neighbors commenced arriving at about 11 
o'clock, bringing fruits, cakes and other good eats, with presents and by the  
twelve o'clock hour the yard and house were crowded with friends and 
relatives. 

The long table was loaded down with the "fat of the land" which had been 
temptingly prepared by Mrs. Glasgow and kind neighbors.  Mr. Glasgow has lived 
where he now resides for seventy years, since he was a child of two years.  No 
one enjoyed the day more than did Uncle Jim who was overjoyed by the day's 
pleasure and it must have been a real treat for all present, and it is hoped 
that he will be spared to his loved ones and friends many years yet.  Who was 
is that said "honor thy father and thy mother that the days may be long upon 
the earth" or something like it?
