Quite a number from here attended the Altamont fair last week and we see many also going to Cobleskill this week. It is fortunate that both fairs had good weather.

Friends of Jacob Levi Moak were grieved to hear of his sudden death which occurred while attending the fair at Altamont last Thursday. Mr. Moak was one of the oldest and most respected residents of the village. He was born in the town of Berne 66 years ago and had resided in his late home here for 35 years. 

COPELAND HILL 

Mr. F. Hewitt is very busy harvesting his corn crop. 

CLARKSVILLE 

Quite a serious accident happened Sunday morning just above the Bradford Allen farm, on a short turn in the road. An automobile containing four men overturned. Two of the occupants of the car were rushed to the hospital at Albany. If people will run their cars in a reckless manner they must expect something to happen.

MR. AND MRS. HURST
MARRIED 50 YEARS 

The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. David T. Hurst, of Guilderland Center, was celebrated Sept. 19. The large house of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. York, in a part of which Mr. and Mrs. Hurst have lived for several years, was thrown open and appropriately decorated for the occasion. Some seventy-five guests assembled to do honor to the highly esteemed bride and groom of half-a-century. Of course the color scheme was golden. When the guests had assembled, Miss Edna Van Auken of Altamont started the Lohengrin wedding march on the piano. The Rev. E. O. Moffett and retired pastor Rev. George G. Seibert entered, preceded by the couple’s two sons, the bride’s sister, who was bridesmaid at the wedding fifty years ago, and the groom’s brother. After them came the two grandchildren, Miss Helen and Master Robert Hurst, Miss Helen acting as flower girl. Then came the couple in whose honor all was planned — marching across the hall from Mr. and Mrs. Hurst’s part of the house into Mr. and Mrs. York’s side — and took their places in front of the bay window encased in wreaths and flowers, the others in the procession  standing on the sides, while the clergymen took their places in front of the wedding couple. Rev. Moffett then proceeded with the marriage ceremony, in which the groom promised to do the nice and proper things he promised to do fifty years ago, with the addition that he would “obey” her so long as they both should live. The calm serenity of the happy and blushing bride was changed into a pleasant smile as she also promised to do the things that she promised fifty years ago, with the addition that she would “rule over him” so long as they both should live.
