ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1930
“Uncle Bud” Treated to
Surprise Birthday Dinner
o
A host of relatives and friends
were invited to a birthday cele
bration in honor of Mr. Hardy
Coney, better known as “Uncle
Bud,” of Alamo, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. U. L. Gilder last
Sunday, November 16th, in his
honor. The occasion proved to be
a real old time family reunion
too.
The crowd had about gathered
when Mr. Gilder drove down to
Alamo and persuaded Uucle Bud
to come out and take dinner with
him. Not feeling so well because
of a lame leg, which had been
giving him much pain lately, he
finally accepted Mi . Gilder’s in
vitation.
As they came near the house
Uncle Bud noticed the host of
cars parked around the gate and
he remarked to Mr. Gilder, “my
great goodness what does all this
mean?”
Mrs. Gilder met them at the
gate and took Uncle Bud to the
house, where he met bis two
sisters, Mrs. Rena Knight, age
174 and Mrs. Mary Grimes, age
65. They were on the porch to
meet him, and with a hearty
hand-shake they said, “well Har
dy how old are you?” He gave
them a smile, while be scratched
his head and said, “oh, 1 don’t
know. Bout 16 I guess.”
No doubt this gathering to
gether made him feel much
younger than 55. Quite a bit of
time was taken up then shaking
hands and meeting relatives he
had never seen before.
At the noon hour a table about
25 feet long was arranged on the
side poarch, which was laden
with all kinds of good things to
, eat, cakes, custards, pies, pork,
1 beef, chicken and turkey. After
, 83 had eaten from this dinner
you could scarcely miss what
. had been eaten.
Two lovely birthday cakes were
, baked and placed on a large cen
I ter table opposite Uucle Bud at
1 dinner. One was baked by Mrs.
J. F. Hattaway, which was cov
ered with icing and trimmed in
red, with the figures 55, also in
red. The other was baked by
Mrs. U. L. Gilder, which held 55
pink candles in pink candle hold
ers. These make a lovely deco
ration in the show window at
Perdue Brother’s market. The
writer got a glimpse of a tray
that was taken from this dinner
to Mr. Frank Gillis,an invalid for
many years, and unable to attend
gatherings of this kind.
Uncle Bud is the baby child of
bis family, and stated that he
cannot remember ever before
when bis two sisters and himself
eating dinner at the same place
since the marriage of bis older
sister, Mrs. Knight, about fifty
years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilder breaks
the record in planning things to
make old as well the young happy
and the community in which they
live is made better by having
them, as they seem to live on the
sunny side of life and are always
scattering sunshine along the
pathway of some one.
Those present were: Mr, and
Mrs. B. McThyas and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Fentros Philps and
family, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Page
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ruel
Livingston and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Ellis Grimes and family,

The 1930 Meaning
of Thanksgiving.
Thaksgiving this year takes on
a new aspect. Although Thanks
giving was primarily religious in
its observance, as it is the only
religious festival celebrated in
the United States by authority
of the federal government, it has
long been recognized as a time
for gathering round the home
fires to eat a huge dinner in cele
bration of such prospepity as one
may enjoy. This year, however,
it has grown to mean more a sea
son of friendship and expression
of good wishes extending beyond
the family circle.
This new Thanksgiving spirit
is seen in the increased number
of “friendship” greeting cards
which make their appearance.
These versions of the Thanksgiv
ing message all carry expres
sions of esteem, with wishes for
prosperity foremost among the
sentiments expressed-
Thanksgivingas it was first set
apart in 1621 by the Pilgrim
Fathers gave pause for contem
plation of the bounties of the
harvest and was dedicated to the
purpose of offering thanks to
God.
By 1864, when the day first
attained the distinction of becom
ing a national holiday by presi
dential proclamation, it was a
war-torn nation that followed
Abraham Lincoln to church and
bent its knees in prayer. The
new Thanksgiving was born of
the World War and its aftermath,
when the great need of gathering
together family ties, of standing
together, brought a general urge
toward neighborliness and wider
friendships.
