was a Jolly occasion. Every body en-

autumn leaves and flowers. The rooms
we're lit up by pumpkin heads. At
eight o'clock the witches arrived, ard
danced around the witches pot that
famed up with a weird flame. Then
fortunes we're told aud feats of good

afterward served, pumpkin pie,
doughnuts and such. EVERYBODY had
a good time. The ladies are to be
congratulated on furnishing the town
with such pleasant occasion.
