Newton, on Friday, November 25, 1938, when a group of relatives made a surprise visit to their pleasant home at Silver Lake. Mrs. Newtqn was born in Na ples on December 10, 1871, a daughter of Samuel and Mary Agard./ Mr. Newton was bom in Canaseraga on January 23, 1865, to Rufus and Caroline Newton. They were married in North Co hocton on November 25, 1888, by the Rev. Mr. Mathews, and have resided in the vicinity of Perry for thirty-nine years. They enjoy good health, the Herald says. Among the guests at the golden wedding were their daughter, Mrs. Myrtle VanArsdale, who resides with them;, Mr. and Mrs. John Wheeler, of Perry; Mrs. Olive VanScooter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harry VanScooter and son, Mrs. Libby Chriscaden, Richard Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Kel ley; Mr. and Mrs. John Lindy, of Tonawanda; and Edward Ryan. ' The Herald continues: “ Mr, New ton was one of the pioneer truck men in this vicinity. Yesterday he recalled the big money made by the early truckers hereabouts. Once during the war. when an em bargo was on the railroads he made $240 a day *neti from his trucks. The bonanza lasted for a period of eight weeks, Sundays In cluded. Another autumn he clear-- 1 Crowds of hunters, with their dogs and guns, are familiar sights | in Naples, especially during the pheasant season, but for the past week there has been something of 1 a variation of the scene— there have been crowds of hunters, with | their guns, and there have been many game wardens in their natty uniforms, but they lelt their dogs I at home. | The occasion was the first open season for deer hunting in Steu ben County for more than fifty years. Through Naples was the direct route to Steuben County for many of the nimrods. Needless to say, deer hunting has been one of the principal top ics of conversation hereabouts for several days, and Naples has been well represented in the woods and fields of our neighboring county. Although the bag of deer has not been so large as some people pre dicted, it would be folly to at tempt to print a list o f successful Naples, hunters at this time. No accidents have been report ed, up to the time that this is written— a record that reflects much credit upon the hunters and the Conservation Department. It . 'Was estimated that three thousand hunters were afield in Steuben County on the opening day of the season, last Thursday. There would have been a larger number if more of the special deer licenses and more of the prescribed ammunition had been available. Town Clehk Addie Potter has issued 32 license's during the past few days, and a number of Naples men obtained licenses elsewhere. Before the Adirondack season opeped Mrs. Potter issued 35 li censes and nearly all o f these li censees have hunted in Steuben County during the past week. The supplies of the coveted li censes in the hands of town clerks and game wardens throughout the area were depleted the fore part of last week. On Monday there were said to be five thousand hunters afield in the county. In Avoca speeial blanks were prepared for use until more official blanks and buttons could be brought in. Deal ers in ammunition ran short of slock, and many hunters shared their supplies of shells with their comrades. We saw none of the longbows that were allowable un der the law, but they may have been in use. Game wardens report that they have found a number of dead does. The supposition is that some of them were^sbot accident ally and that othe& lost their lives at the hands of hunters^ who shot first and investigated afterward, only to find that they had felled game that it would have been il legal to possess.- The season* closes today, Wednesday. Clemon Smalt, of Loon Lake, shot a doe by mistake. It had horns. A game protector said no charges would be preferred against Smalt as there was no intent to break the law. . Lyle Ross heard shots near his barns, in the Homell area, ^-and found that one of his cows had been shot four times. A car was speeding away. Although the law provides that, in Steuben County, deer be taken only with shotgun with one ball or with longbow, the Middlesex letter (C o n t in u e d on p a g e f o u r ) CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS, TOMORROW NIGHT A regular meeting of the Naples Chamber of Commerce will be held tomorrow, Thursday, evening at the Naples Hotel. Dinner will be served promptly at seven o’clock. Dr. M. Edgerton Deuel, of Ge neva, will be the guest speaker. His subject will be, Socialized Medicine.” There also will be a question box,- into which should be dropped the suggestions of each member for: livelier meetings, increasing business, promoting community welfare, and projects to be foster ed. GRAFF-BALL At the home of her parents last Saturday, December 3, 1938, at 2:30 p. m., took place the mar riage of Miss Ruth Cornelia Ball, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ball, of West Hollow, and Mr. Ward G. Graff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Graff, of Naples. The bridal couple were attended by Mr. Bind Mrs. Charles T. Schwingle, of Naples. The bride was given away by her father. The bride and bridegroom march ed to an arch of hemlock, silver bells and cones, to the strains of the wedding march. The Rev. John H. Sandmeyer, pastor of the Naples Methodist Episcopal Church, performed the ceremony. The bride wore a dress of royal blue and a cornet of white mums. The matron of honor wore a wine- colored dress and a corsage of chrysanthemums. The bride’s mother wore blue and “white and the bridegroom’s mother wore a wine-colored dress; each wore a corsage of yellow and white chrys anthemums. Thirty-nine guests watched them open many beautiful presents, aft er which ice cream and cake were served. The*bride cut the cake. The usual amount of rice and old shoes started Mr. and Mrs. Graff on a short trip, after which they will set up housekeeping in a small house on the Prattsburgh road, where they will be at home to their many friends.
