MR. J.B. POPE HAS BIRTHDAY DINNER

The birthday dinner in Heard county, Georgia in the Simpson community, was 
enjoyed by a large crowd at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Pope. Mr. Pope was 
77 years of age on Sunday, Oct. 22. All of his children came on that day and 
made their father's heart glad and cheerful.

They showed their love and appreciation to their dear old dad by bringing in 
nice gifts, a large and beautiful birthday cake with 77 candles on it, also 
a wonderful dinner that was enjoyed.

Two of his sisters from Roanoke; all of his children, most of his 
grandchildren, Rev. Jodie Henderson and many of his friends were there to 
help him enjoy the day.

Father is getting on in age, but we all hope that God will be with him and 
let him enjoy more birthdays with his children, sisters and friends.

After the noon hour was over, we all went into the house and father began 
looking through his presents. When he finished seeing them all, he made a 
nice long talk, thanking his children and all for the wonderful gifts. But 
the most of all, he thanked them for their presence of being with him on 
that day. Then we all went out doors and made pictures in many different 
ways and different groups.

Then the sad hour came when we all had to depart to our homes, telling our 
dear father goodbye and wishing him many more birthdays. We only hope and 
pray that God will take care of dad and help him to keep good health and 
cheer him along through life, also to see many more happy birthdays so we 
can make his heart glad and cheerful each year. Those that were present
