west Harbor's most esteemed citizens,
Gilbert l.. Lurvey, who passed away at his
home little before midnight Tuesday,
Oct. 80.
Mr.. Lurvey had been ill for nearly two
months, having suffered a partial stroke OF
paSalysis, from which it was thought he
was slowly but safely recovering. On this
last day he was up and about, though COM

east Harbor, and three brothers and one
sster-Lemuel and Jacob Lurvey, who
were with him, Frank Lurvey, of East
Boston, who had recently visited his
brother, and Mrs. Benjamin Herrick, OF
Indian Point.
Mr.. Lurvey was the son of Enoch and
Rebecca Lurvey. He was a NOBLE char
acter, always genial and kindAhearted,
possessing fund of witty humor, which
made him happy companion for both
old and young. The death of his son
George, scarcely six months ago, was a
great blow to the parents and sister.
"Fate" Lurvey, as he was Familiarity
known, won a splendid war record in the
1st Maine heavy artillery, was wounded
through the hand rendering that faithful
member comparatively useless, but his
disability was borne with patient courage.
MIR. Lurvey was man Of marked abil-
ity. He was a charter member of the
James M. Parker post, G. A. r., its faith

was changed. He was an influential

HALLOWEEN PARTY.

Misses Lane, Barney and Hatch
entertained party of friends very pleas
antly Wednesday evening at the Lynnmore.
The occasion was the celebration of the
time honored Halloween. The evening
was passed in games and doing the Gus
t,mary Halloween stunts. The peanut
CO ltest was won by Mr.. and Mrs. "Monty"
Greene. As prizes they received a brownie
each.
Those who explored the depths of the
washtub full of water, in their endeavor
to capture an apple, appeared to enjoy
themselves, although it is doubtful
whether their hair laid straight next day,
especially that of the young ladies.
Those who wished were enabled to look
into the future and see what it held in
store for them, as there were two skilled
persuaded to leave their gypsy companions
for few days; the band being somewhere
in the vicinity of Deer Isle.
At 10 o'clock an auction was held, at
which the young men obtained partners
for refreshments. . This auction was lit
tie out of the ordinary, as no one knew
just what he was bidding for, the young
Lady being enveloped in sheet and pillow
case. The PARTICLES" sold were "dusky
belles' and "Fijii Islanders, not to men
ton the usual northern beauties. One
young lady was sold for cent, while
others brought as high as ten or fifteen
dollars. All this, of course, occasioned
much mirth, as the auctioneer, Mr.. Cow
ing, played his part well.
At 1870 the guests were ushered into the
awaited them. The lunch consisted OF
chicken salad, sandwiches, nabisco waters,
olives and crackers and lemonade, together
with an abundant supply of home made
candy.
The decorations were very pretty, con-
sisting OF festoons of colored paper from
the ceiling to corners of the table. The
lights consisted of Jack O. lanterns, ex-
ecuted in grotesque designs.
After lunch the guests gathered around q
weird light in the parlor and listened tc
tn usual number of ghost stories. 1t is
stated on pretty good authority that some
u ths young ladies objected to going
home alone; whether.this was wholly due
to the stories the writer is not prepared tc
say.
At IL o'clock the party broke up and
each went home feeling that he had en-
ioyed very pleasant evening.
