Fifty years is long time, and well may
Col. and Mrs Hudgins have felt proud last
night, as they received the congratulations
of the many friends who had been invited
to celebrate the joyous occasion. Everybody
in Foreston had been invited, and every
one who could possibly attend was there.
Col. Hudgins was the happiest person there,
and his every action and look gave evidence
that be felt as young and happy as he had
fifty years before. No pains or expense
had been spared to make the pleasures of
the evening BETTING the occasion. Every
room in the house was thrown open to the
guests, and chinese lanterns lighted up the
yard. Song and music and laughter and
good will prevailed everywhere. All had
gone there expecting most enjoyable occa-
sion and none were disappointed. Three
long tables were literally loaded down with
all the delicacies and tropical fruits the
market would afford, and the choicest wines
were free to all. All was JOY and mirth.
The happy couple We're recipients of a
number of valuable presents.
Col. Hudgins is q native of Union county,
S. c.; Mrs. Hudgins, Of Mt. Vernon, Maine.
They have two sons, both living: one is in
business in Foreston; the other in Ken
lucky.
During the evening all the guests assem-
bled in the main parlor, and Rev. J. c. Bis
sell made short speech and a prayer. At
ter supper as all were about to depart at
the request of Col. Hudgins all again as
