Halloween Party.

Thursday night was Halloween or Halloween, the night, when ac- cording to superstition popular in years gone by, fair ;es, ghosts, imps and all other unreal beings, stalked about the earth, bent on mischief.
 In these later days these ungod- ly visitors have given way to the small boy, who does probably a great deal more mischief than the goblns who formerly held undis- puted sway.
 Halloween, or Halloween, as it is properly given in the dictionary, is now known as a night when your front gate is tied to the church steeple, your buggy mysteriously finds is way to the top of some tWo-story building, a barber pole is found displaying a hair cut and shave inducements in front of mattress factory, the lady who keeps the boarding house awakes in the m orning after to find a sign advertising fine wines, liquors and cigars adorning her lawn and peop- le generally rub their eyes on the morning after and announce that such things would not have been tolerated when they were young.
 Halloween grew out of the GUS. tom of eel sbrating All Saints Day upon November 1. The night be- fore this celebration all of the un- real beings that could escape from their accustomed haunts, stalked forth upon the earth. Middle aged men who have climed to the top of a near by corn crib to rescue their pet horse are still inclined to believe that the imps of Satan ven- ture forth on this night.
 Outside of a number of boyish pranks the occasion was celebrat- ed in Huttig by party given the young folks by Mrs. fl. A. Finley and Miss Pearl Barber at the home of the former. About forty were present and the house was decor ated to represent a log cabin.
 Various games of an amusing nature were indulged in as was an old fashioned dance to old fashion ed music before refreshments were served and the jolly folks went to their homes. All were of one ac- cori that it was cne of the best en- tertainnerts given ia Hvtti2.

Schuol Directors Organize.

Some time ago St. te Superin- tel.dent of Education J. J. Doyne requested all county examiners to call the directors of their county together for the purpose of per fecting an organization for the ad
 vancemen of the schools of the state. The request was compiled with in this county on last Satur- day when a1 organization was per- fected by electing County Examin- CT J. F. McKinzie chairman and w. J. Miles secretary. The meet ing was att nded by over twenty five directors and was held in the circuit court room at Ell Dorado.
 All those present We're gratlfled at the interest taken in the meet ing and things educational in gener- al The only regret the writer has is that he was the only direct or from this end of the county who received the benefits of this gather ing. Several important questions were discussed and lad over to be settlad at another meeting which will be called by the chairman either the last of December or the first of January when it is hoped that every director in Union county will be present, and also State Superintendent J. J. Doyne.
 At this next meeting such quest ions as "Redstricting the County" The Office of Director Selection of Teachers Expenditure of School Funds School Property" The kind of Books Needed" and "The Question of Securing Better Attendance" will be thoroughly discussed. l desire to impress on every school director in this end of tn, county the importance of this meeting and reqnest him to be present as it will mean much to our children and the man who has not the welfare of the children at heart is not good citizen and has no right whatever to the office of director. Let us all put our should CTS to the wheel and reyolutionize the school system of Union county.

 son about Candidacy.

The following is copy of a co h. munication written by Neill c. Marsh to W [. Patterson. Union Gounty's two candidates for the office of prosecuting attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial District, which is self explanatory and fair in our estimation.
 Fl Dorado, Ark, Oct. 16, Oz. Hon. w. E. Patterson,
 Ell Dorado, Ark. Dear Sir
 The impropriety of two candi- dates for the office of Prosecuting Attorney from this county is So apparent as to need no argument This being the case one of us should. for time at least, forego his ambition and bow to the wishes of the democracy of this, our home county.
 That the situation may be sim plified, l ask that you join me in a request to the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Union County for preliminary primary, to be governed by such rules, and held at such time as the Central Committee may decide upon, at which primary the democracy of this county may decide which of us shall remain in the race.
 The expensees of this primary would, of course, be borne by both or either of us, as may be ordered by the Committee, and will cost the people nothing.
 If, in this preliminary primary the democracy of this county should decide for me to withdraw from the race, l.Yill retire, ant ane will expect the same of you should receive a majority of the votes cast
 Awaiting your reply to this pro- position. 1 am,
 Yours very truly,
 (signed) NELL c. MARSH.

FLOWERY SPEECH
WINS DISMISSAL
IN POLICE COURT

One of the "foweriest' speeches
that has been delivered in a Paducah
court room in some time was heard
in police court this morning when,
Judge william Henry Randolph, a
battle SCARED veteran of Norfolk
Va. made plea for clemency OF the
court. Judge Randolph was arrested
last night by Officers Rousch and
Whittemore for being drunk, and
when arraigned in court seemed to
have lost none of his conversational
powers. When called on to make a
plea of guilty or not guilty. he arose
from the prisoners bench and made
a talk that showed he had really
seen better days and was educated
His talk was effective and the fact
that the prisoner wore a cross of
honor. "won for bravery on Virginia
during the late unpleas-
antness," as he expressed it, caused
the court to be lenient and allow him
to go with the promise that he would

Grassland and w. j. Webb the Other.
Grassland got II into his mind
that somebody, whom he thought was
Art Brand, was discussing the case
for the edihcation of the two end
jurymen. He complained to the court
about Brands alleged misconduct,
whereupon Brand sprang to his feet
and called Grassland a liae.
Grassland got back with the superla-
tive degree of the same kind of Mar
and added a few other general re-
marks touching upon the virtue OF
Brands progenitors, and the particu-
lar kind of cur he esteemed Mr.. Brand
himself. This threw the court room
into a panic, as everybody expected
a personal encounter. Order was re-
stored without any violence and
Judge Bugg sent them both to Jail
for three hours. Grassland COM
planned that he needed pistol in the
jail to protect himself. but Judge
Bugg remedied this condition of
affairs by specially instructing the
sheriff to search both men and lock
them up in separate cells.

GENERAL REVIEW OF SPORTS

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-History re

afternoon, Pennsylvania again WIN

Cornell, the score this year being IL
to 4. 1t was Pennsylvania's thir-
teenth victory in fifteen games play

State team having won one contest
and tied another.
The teams were not on the field

fukes of the game, was likely to win.
She went at Cornell hammer and

Quakers were penalized rs yards and
held Cornell to one first down. Penn
sylyania clearly outplayed Cornell in
this half and yet, owing to her hold
ing proclivities, was able to make but
one touchdown.
Conditions were practically re-
versed in the second half, although
Pennsylvania made another touch
down to a field goal by Cornell. In
this half the Ithacans seemed to gain
and several times endanger-
ed Pennsylvania goal.
Pennsylvania's principal play was
the forward pass which she worked
almost to perfection. Keinath was ac-
curate in his throwing and Pennsyl
vanian was usually on the spot to
receive the ball.
In the second half Cornell did most
of the forward passing but the play
did not bring the substantial results
1t did to Pennsylvania.
The Quakers' second touchdown
was the result of one of Cornells for
ward passes being blocked. The ball
was on Pennsylvania fifty yard line,
and Scarlet, for Pennsylvania, inter-
cepted the throw. Draper was on the
ball in a flash and with a clear field
ran SIS yards for Pennsylvsnia's score
Cornells field goal came late in the
second half. Cornell got the ball In
