As Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Ireland of Union Valley entered their home, when returning from church, Oct. 7, they noticed there was a smell of cooking food.  Investigation showed the dining table opened to its fullest length and set for sixteen plates, and a splendid dinner; pushing open the kitchen door, they were confronted by their three children and families who had come to celebrate their Golden Wedding on Oct. 8.  Surprise rendered them speechless for a minute, then the bride ejaculated, "Well!  all the spread we had 50 years ago tomorrow was a fine rice pudding."  After dinner a nice sum of money was presented them. The visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Petley and children, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ireland, and children, Stephen H.
