A letter from Union, Montana, gives the following account of the celebration of Mrs. Hughes’ birthday: "One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred May 27th when about seventy-five friends and neighbors gathered at the Hughes ranch in honor of Mrs. Hannah Hughes’ seventy-fifth birthday.

A bountiful birthday dinner was served at noon, there being several beautifully decorated birthday cakes which had been presented to Mrs. Hughes. After the refreshments a fine program was rendered in which both old and young took part. The gathering was doubly enjoyable owing to the fact that it was a complete surprise to Mrs. Hughes.
