rendered Warm and Hearty Re-
ception at Their Home Monday

Amid large concourse of rela-
tives and friends and a family
gathering made proud and happy,
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred L. Hudson,
Sr., celebrated on Monday evening
the golden anniversary of their
marriage at reception given at
their home, corner of Mt. Vernon
and Market streets. The ami
versary date proper was Sunday, the
eighteenth. Their children realizing
that it does not often fall to the
lot of couples to pass fifty years of
welded happiness together, planned
the delightful social event which
held the attention of both old and
young. The large and spacious home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hudson was modestly
decorated, the predominatiug color
scheme being gold. The dining
room was the most elaborate. The
chandelier was arranged to represent
a large golden bell from which were
festooned to the four corners of the
table, streamers of gold. The guests
upon entering were received by the
"bride and groom Mr.. and Mrs.
Hudson. assisted by Rev. and Mrs.
William D. Parry. Nearly hun
dred and fifty friends assembled to
extend their greetings. 1t was
notable occasion and golden day
in the lives of the celebrants of this
happy reunion. All during Sunday
and Monday their minds reverted to
the scenes and events which culmi-
mated in their marriage near Odessa
on February Is, 1862, fifty years
ago. 1t was shortly afterward that
they moved to the vicinity of Smyr-
ma where for forty six or more
years they have lived among US,
enjoying the respect and esteem of
the community and winning encomi-
ums from lives we'll spent. of de-
votion to one another, their children
and happy home. 1t was there
fore natural that their reception
and season Of golden congratulations
should have been sincere and hearty.
The reception was from seven to
ten but the hospitality of their
home made some linger long after
the '' formal leaving time" Dur
ing the welcoming the coming" and
speeding the parting" guests,

casion and q bounteous and whole.
some repast served each and every
guest. Mr.. and Mrs. Hudson were
well remembered by their friends.
Aside from the individual gifts, the
Directors of the Fruit Growers Ma
tional Bank, of which Mr.. Hudson
is now the only living charter mem
ber, presented him with a beautiful
gold-headed cane. The Official
Board of Asbury M. E. Church pre-
sented them with a handsome cut
glass water set and the Laura Lee
Circle Of Kings Daughters remem-
bered them with a handsome vase
OF fifty onquils. Among those
present from a distance were: DR..
