Halloween capers in town were
only lightly INDUCED in last Saturday
night, be it said to the credit of the
boys. The street lights were mostly
turned off making the town rather
gloomy for time, but philanthropic
citizens succeeded 10 relighting them
before anybody was injured by falling
over obstructions, and the balance of
the night was passed in peace and
quiet. The frisky boy deserves long
credit mark for his orderly behavior
this year.
Mr.. L. j. Osgood was down from
East Hickory yesterday for a few
hours, and gave the REPUBLICAN
pleasant call. Mr.. Osgood has charge
of the saws in the splendid new band
mill of Wheeler & Dusenbury, at
Stowtown, and is kept busy keeping
the mill busy. He does saw pounding
Of all kinds, and is an expert in fixing
up and putting them in good running
order. Should any of our mill men
have anything in that line they could
not do better than give him their
orders.
The Franklin Ne,os thus refers to
the almost perfect fall weather which
we have enjoyed thus far, but which
seems at this writing to be about to
shut up shop and close business for
the season: The present autumn will
60 down into history and become a
reminiscence to the oldest inhabitant,
who in years to come can refer to this
as the great weather Of the fall of
81" Perfect days are these, with the
haze of Indian summer along the
horizon and the odor of burning leaves
pervading the atmosphere.
The October oil report is a hum.
mer and no mistake. Forty.nine
thousand barrels daily Of new produc.
tion is something approaching the
wonderful, even in oildom. This great
increase of course comes from the big
Mcdonald field, aud is what has
knocked the bottom out of the market,
and is keeping it knocked out. No
body expects it TO last, but while it
stays it makes dull times in the oil
regions outside that locality. Aside
from this, the report for the past
month presents no startling features.
Major B. A. Goodman, for many
years a resident of this county, during
most of which time he made his home
at Balltown, died at that place yester.
day after an illness extending over a
year or more. Major Goodman was
one of the we'll known and familiar
figures of his section, where he was
generally respected for his many good
qualities of heart. His hospitality
toward those with whom he came in
contact was proverbial, and many will
hold him in grateful remembrance for
the considerations shown them while
under his roof. He was an expert
hunter and fisher, and it was rare
thing, while his health continued, to
60 to his quarters without getting a
slice of venisoD, either "jerked" or
fresh. He was veteran of the war,
aud had a pension pending which
would doubtless soon have been
granted his age was o5. IL IS the
intention to bring his remains to this
place for burial to. morrow, and the
funeral will be in charge of the Ma.
sonic fraternity of which deceased was
once a member. Peace to his ashes.
