ed off very smoothly, inasmuch as very
few serious depredations were COM
mltted. An early morning observer
on our streets, however, might have
noticed, here and there, buggy turn
ed upside down, or somebody's fence
minus a gate, and not a few foot rugs,
&c, swinging gently to the wind on
nearby trees. Some of our business
places had apparently changed their
locations during the night, and an un-
lucky bicycle rider with fractured
wheel, would likely have stopped at
Miss Parks ice cream parlors for re-
pairs, as sign belonging to S. K.
Norman, hanging upon the outside,
stated that "Vulcanizing and General
Repair Work" might be had here
The oyster sign of H. c. NAPLES had
also taken journey, and when last
seen was standing IN front of the home
OF Arthur Hartman. Several young
men CHANGING to see the sign next
day, developed sudden appetite for
oysters, and were much disappointed
when inquiring at the latter place, to
fnd that they were entirely out and
would not have any in for several
days.

A happy crowd of young ladies and

A very pleasant Halloween party
was held last Saturday eve at the home
of one of our prominent townsmen,
and although we weren't there, we
have it upon the authority of Mv.
Harry Campbell, our genial and oblig-
ing school teacher, that the affair was
a credit to the instigators, inasmuch
as the decorations throughout the diff
iSiSht iootIo WSlC HlC, lIlC uGIlCd-
cies very tasteful, and the amusements
plenteous. There was brilliant as
semblage of Espy's "social lights" pres
ent, and everything passed off in true
Halloween style. Harry, however,
tells us that while he had good time,
all was not peaches and cream with
him, as the concluding part of the
program which he had mapped out
for his own recreation, was
unceremoniously nipped in the bud, for
just as he was singing "You're not SO
many, and I'm the only pebble, &c."
some ambitious youth stepped in and
walked off with his fondest hopes.
Harry told us himself, and as we have
no authority to doubt his veraclty, it
must be SO. Hard luck, "Cam" old
boy.
