MAYHEM NOTES.


The Ladies Aid Society of the
Christian church went to the country
last Wednesday by invitation and
spent the day with Mrs. Irving With
ers.
J. S. Vickars transacted business in
Odessa last Thursday
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Proctor still en-
JOY birthday dinners. They we're
invited to Odessa by their daughter,
Mrs. John Blucher, last Thursday,
who prepared the dinner in behalf of
her mothers birthday.
Ernest Riley is using crutches this
week. He fell and hurt his knee cap.
Bate C. Drummond and Claude
Marquis came out from Lexington
last Thursday and took the c. & A.
for Bates City where Claude will
make the speech of his life. Purely
Democratic we know he will do it
for we heard young lady tell him
to. The election will be thing of
the past when this goes to print.
However Claude can call to mind his
speech at Mayview and Bates City.
Miss Bess Bradley returned to May
view last Thursday and will visit
friends and relatives.
Mrs. Elmer Young left for her
home in Nebraska last Friday. She
was accompanied as far as Kansas
City by her sister. Mrs. j. S.
Vickars.
Halloween night was duly cele-
brated at the hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs, Z. T. Pickett. At about ten
O'Clock there appeared spooks all
diked out in their hideous ghost
robes and took full possession. Miss
Viola Puckett took charge of the
ghosts and became the witch and
many grotesque and weird things
were done. One peculiar idea was
that all the ghosts wanted their for
tunes told. So the witch was ever
ready to point and tell each, who and
about when they would meet their
fate as regard their future husbands
and wives. The guests were so dis
! guised that no one was recognized,
which made more fun tor each other.
When the time came for unmasking
there were many surprises. Many
games on the superstitious line we're
indulged in, which are delight for
the young toindulge in on Hallowe EN-.
Cider and old-fashioned ginger cake
were served. AT u o'clock the guests
wended their way homeward to sleep
and dream of what occurred on Hal
lowe'en 1908, feeling satisfied that
there was one bright spot in
life. Those present were: Misses
Lena and Tillie Smith, Alma Kin
cheloe, Georgia Greene, Lydia Belle
Butt, Marguerite Beuning, Hettie
Winn, BETTE Benning, Nettie Held
brink; Clarence Jones, Lloyd Winn,
Oscar Radius, Harry Hannah, H.
Cravens, Cliff Wilson, Oscar Proctor,
and Sam Heidbrink.
Mrs. Gordon Graham and Mrs. Rob
ert Lankford arrived from Rifle, Colo.
last Sunday evening on a visit to their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. VIM, Waddell and
Mr., and Mrs. j. A. Johnson. Miss Ida
Johnson also came in, she stopped
over in Kansas City for few days.
Otto Nolte, our postmaster. has the
thanks of the Judges and Clerks OF
the election for a treat of Bryan and
Taft cigars. They were appreciated.
The stork has been busy again, and
left Mr.. and Mrs. f. II, Pickett a
girl on November 4, 1908.
AS we do not feel very well we will
not say anything as regard the polit-
ical situation only that we are pleas.
ed to know that that peculiar demo.
crat known as Folk democrat will
be thing of the past.
We would like to give one of these
large yells, but at this writing do moi
know just how big to make it, or how
| long to prolong It.
