Painted the Town White.

Last night was Halloween and the
boys and the girls painted the town
white-not red. The mischievously
inclined provided themselves with a
few barrels of -four, more or less, and
the innocent pedestrians were pow
dered until some of them looked like
living statues. Bushels upon bushels
of corn were fred at the windows,
making continuous racket. Signs
were transferred, and a stranger who
came into town early stopped at Prof.
Kimlers home to get a drink, Cham
bins beer sign having been hung up
on the Professor front porch. Some
damage to property was done by
the idiots who knew no better-fences
torn down, steps carried off and other
equally senseless destruction accom-
plished.
