BLAME HARD CIDER
Editor Mixed Wedding Account
With Farm Sale

NNASAA u oAAA AeAAO
An editor who was brimful of
hard cider, got a wedding account
and a sale ad mixed, and served to
his readers this dope.
William Smith, the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah Smith, was dis
posed at auction to Lucy Anderson
on my farm one mile east of here in
the presence of seventy guests, in
Guiding the following, to-wit: Two
mules, twelve head of cattle. The
Reverend Jackson tied the nuptial
the least averaging 1850 lbs. on the
hoof. The beautiful home of the
bride was tastefully decorated with
seewash calf, spade, sulky rake,
one feed grinder, one set double har-
ness almost new and just before the
ceremony was pronounced Men
delssohn's Wedding March was play
ed by one mich cow five years old,
one Jersey cow, to be fresh next
April, carrying a bunch of flowers
in her hand and looking charming
in a gown made of a light spring
wagon, two boxes of apples, two
racks of hay, one grindstone, mouse
line deori trimmed with about 1870
bushels of spuds The groom is
well known and stood well among
society circle of twelve Berkshire
hogs, while the bride is an accom-
plished and talented school teach
er of a splendid drove of Poland
China-pedigrees if desired. Among
the beautiful presents were two
sets of knives and forks, one spring
harrow, one Wheel-barrow, one GO
cart, other articles too numerous to
mention. The bridal couple left
yesterday on an extended trip,

served at the table. After this Mr..
and Mrs. Smith will go to house
keeping in a coy home at the cor
ner Of Main and DR.. r. L. CRANKY,
auctioneer."
We surely hope they lived hap
PLY ever afterwards.
Here is a description 1 thought
very interesting, of the dress and ap-
pearance of a wedding party of
much earlier date, here in Washing
ton County area, in the very earliest
days of the white mans settling
here. This writer told of their APP
pearance thus:
LET the reader imagine an as
semblage of people, without store,
tailor or mantuamaker within an
hundred miles, and an assemblage of
horses, without blacksmith or sad
dler within an equal distance. The
gentlemen dressed in shoepacks,
moccasons, leather breeches, leg
gins, and linsey hunting shirts, all
home made The ladies dressed in
linsey petticoats and linsy or linen
bed-gowns, coarse shoes, stockings,
handkerchiefs, and buckskin gloves,
if any; if there were any buckles,
rings, buttons or ruffles, they were
relics of old times, family pieces
from parents or grandparents"
This writer also told that there
were almost no amusements at all
in these early days, and that there
fore, when a wedding came along,
it was the sign for great festivity.
Everybody came. Early on the
wedding day great body of friends
of the groom accompanied the man
of the hour, about to be married,

American JewrY to renounce
every solemn pledge it made since
the tie between US and European
JewrY was renewed with the
overthrow of Hitler.
The Jews of America, not too
worried about Zionist" prestige
but much more concerned about
the life of individual Jews and
the security of the State of Is
rael, have been responding = not
in accordance with the total needs
but in a measure that reflects
a genuine desire to serve. The
cash income of the United Jewish
Appeal since January l, 1949, is
now close to $100,000,0O0. 1t may
be tragically short of the terrible
needs of the $4,000 men, women
and infants in the camps, but how
much more would become avail
able if Mr.. Alpert were to wave
his flags and beat his breast
about Zionism I do not know. I
do, however, know that in his
mendacious attack upon the Unit
ed Jewish Appeal he betrayS an
animus that is not typical of the
best forces in American Zionism.
The film to which Mr.. Alpert
refers was not made in studio
in America. It consisted of foot
age shot in Raanana. Pardess
Hanna. Beer Yeacob. names Of
camps that call up revulsion a.
mong all those who visited them.
including myself. It is perhaps
Mr.. Alpert's contention that the
narrow cots. with sacking for
mattress. should not have been
crowded so distressinglY next to
each other under thin tenting.
Perhaps Mr.. Alpert would have
preferred to forget the fact that
sanitary facilities are revoltinglY
;nadequate in camps for thous-
ands of people. Perhaps Mr..
Alpert would have wished to con-
ceal that in some places there
is good Zionist" propaganda. I
happen to believe. however. that
the overwhelming majority Of
American Jews are mature
enough to deserve and to demand
the whole facts. and are also able
to distinguish between a short
term crisis in immigration and a
long-range plan of State-building.
It is because the United Jew
ish Appeal has consistently
taken the American Jewish pub
Tic into its confidence. revealing
all the facts and not trying to
suqar-coat them. that it has SYM
bolized American JewrY at its
greatest.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 3.-Wil-
liam Reeves Gardner. former
Fredericksburg bank official, will
