Gypsies Were Bought Off.

Simon Fendig came down from Wheatfield Wednesday to be with his aged mother on the Jewish New Year, which began Wednesday at 6 p. m., and ended Thursday at 6 p. m. Regarding the failure of the Gypsy wedding attraction at Wheatfield Sunday, Mr. Fendig says that Jhe people of Wheatfield were as much disappointed as those who came from a distance. The Gypsies had made all arrangements to' hold the celebration as reported but left befdre the time set. Rumor has it that they were offered SIOO to pull off the event at Burrows’ Camp, got SSO in advance and pulled out and left Burrows in the lurch also.
