Halloween, Saturday night, was
observed in Tionests in a quiet, safe and
sane manner, large number of our citi-
zens appearing on the reefs In costume,
many of which were quite unique in their
makeup. and all sufficiently grotesque to
cause greatest amusement and laughter
to the onlookers. The costumers and
psraders were not confined to the young
er element alone, many of the older ones
taking advantage of the custom to have
lark out. The best of order prevailed
throughout the evening.
The new law which regulates the sale
of medicine preparations containing al
cohol, morphine, opium, chloroform and
similar ingredients went into effect 0cto-
ber /, and in many places has given the
druggists some trouble. The law re-
quires articles containing these and
similar things to be plainly marked by a
label showing the exact amount of each
which is contained in the package. Any
package not correctly labeled as to its
contents is now considered to be mis-
branded and the druggist is held respon-
sible.-Ex.
He has achieved success who has
lived we'll, laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect OF intelligent
men and the love of little children; who
has filled his niche and accomplished his
task; who has left the world better than
he found it, whether by an improved
poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked appreciation of the
earth's beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life was
an inspiration; whose memory is bane-
diction.--A. j. Stanley.
Chestnut stuffing for Thanksgiving
turkey will be just as plentiful and pop
ular several generations hence as 1t is to-
day, according to Coleman X. Sober, the
chestnut king of Pennsylvania, who
describes the widespread alarm over the
possibility of the fayorte American nut
being exterminated by the dreaded chest
nut blight. That the blight, which is
known scientifically as draporthe para
sitcs, and which in recent months has
stirred up such furore among federal
and state foresters throughout the coun-
try, is more of bugaboo than real
cause for alarm, is the declaration of Mr..
Sober who, after II years of careful and
extensive experimenting, further asserts
that the chestnut offers the most perms-
nent and most promising investment
within reach otlumbermen and mountain
farmers in America.
