C. N. PHILLIPS CELEBRATES 63rd BIRTHDAY



On Thursday, June the 9th, Mr. C. N. Phillips was
pleasantly surprised by the assembling of many of
his relatives and friends to a sumptuous birthday
dinner.


About ten o'clock the guests began to arrive and
continued to come until twelve at which time they
were invited to a dinner which was spread on a table
in the yard in the shade of large China trees.


The table was decorated with vases of pink roses and
the beautiful birthday cake lighted with sixty-three
candles; and heavily laden with barbecue, chicken,
cakes, pies and other foods to numerous to mention.


For drinks there were tubs of iced tea and iced
water.  Thus ensued an hour of merry feasting and
talking.


In the afternoon groups were congregated about the
spacious house and yards enjoying the conversation
and association of friends, some who had not met
before in years.


Later in the afternoon the crowd gathered again in
the shade of the same trees where the table was
located and blended their voices in some good old
Sacred Harp songs.  The singing was followed by
preaching by Rev. J. E. Cox, Rev. Morgan Williams,
Rev. Hardy Phillips.  


Soon after this the congregation began to disband
feeling that it was the end of a perfect day.


Mr. Phillips received many attractive and useful
gifts and scores of wishes for many happy returns of
June the 9th.
