CHEswoLD, Nov. Sour farmers are
now busy husking corn. There is
much complaint of corn rotting in the
shock.
We hear frequent mention made OF
James Denney's beautiful field OF
wheat on his farm near Leipsic. Also
of S. W. Taylor's big corn on his
s'Seyen Hickories" farm, in tenure OF
Mr.. Howard Garrison. Mr.. Denney's
wheat was sowed early on fallow
ground before the rains.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. M. Cloud have pur-
chased the Arthur Jones property IN
Cheswold and their many friends here
are glad they have thus indicated their
intention to locate here after retire
ment from the farm.
With merry groups of maskers on
our streets observing Halloween and
the SMYRNA brass band filling the air
with music also, last Friday evening
for a political meeting, it was an even
irg of lively scenes and pleasures.
And what still added more myth at
the time was a Halloween party by
DIR. and Mrs. J. R. Smith to their
daughter, Margaret. About fifty OF
her little friends were present, most
of them masked in odd and curious
fashion to hide their faces and forms.
Games were INDUCED in, such as
bobbing for apples, roofing in -four
and the donkey" In the last named'
little Miss Lorena Ford and Master
Fred Hardcastle won first prizes and
Miss Irene Emerson and Master Homer
Ford the BOBBY prizes. Light re-
freshments were served. 1t was an
evening of great pleasure to the par
ticipants.
Pastor Roe brought his revival
meetings at Cheswold to close Sun
day evening and will start them al
Bethel next Sunday evening.
Pastor Roe held up Christ as mans
only refuge and hope Sunday morn
ing and in the evening from the tex
"Cursed be Caanan," Genesis 9 anC
25. he delivered the most impressive
conservative best spirited and ye
forcible temperance discourses tina
has been given here in many months
At the close he invited sinners to the
altar as the best start they could make
Besides the regular morning session
of the Sunday School there is ais
announced for next Sunday Afternoon
a union session of the Sunday Schoo
and Junior League. Miss Lulu Boggs
our Junior League superintendent
doubtless has something special t
bring before the newly planned meet
ing.
Three bouquets of flowers, the b!
drangea, cosmos and chrysanthemun
blended beautifully within the chanc'
at Sundays services. Miss Ella Ca
terson president of the literary wor
4 of the Cheswold EpwOrth League, hs
introduced studies in the life of Chri
in which book of this title with sho
daily lessons for study will serve I
} a guide. Friday evening of this wee
! a class will be organized to me
