Dr. Wheeler Surprised.
Dr. Nellie E. Wheeler was agreeably surprised last Tuesday evening when about two-score of her friends appeared at her home and demanded admittance. The visitors, for the most part, were members of the local Rebecca Lodge, and the gathering was in the nature of a farewell party. Dr. Wheeler is the retiring secretary of the lodge, and before the guests departed they presented her with a fine Rebecca pin, in appreciation of her work as a member and officer of the lodge. The surprisers brought refreshments, and a jolly evening was spent.
