Mrs. w. Sullivan returned from

A very pretty little affair was given
last Saturday evening at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Muske. where the
Misses Thompson, Hudson, and Lam.
bert very charmingly entertained q
few Of their friends. The guests were
received at the back yard gate by two
ghostly figures who ushered them
into the house. The rooms were
arristically decorated to carry out the
old Arabian festival of Hallowe 'en.
The parlor was decorated with festoons
of tissue paper witches, cats. owls,
and ghosts, which were hung about on
the curtains and walls. A huge lamp
shade of cat heads darkened the room
and added to the weird ana ghostly
effect. The sitting room was
decorated prettily with autumn leaves
and berries and was lighted by jack
o'lanterns. In one corner of the room
neat little gypsy tent was arranged
with vegetables and berries; ard here
behind her cauldron, a witch real and
awful, foretold the futures of
these jolly young people. so blind to
what lays before them. At half after
seven the guests we're hidden to the
dining room, which was daintily
decorated with testoons OF black and
orange paper hung from the chandelier
to the four corners of the table and to
the four corners of the room. Covers
were laid for sixteen and q very
dainty four course luncheon was
served. The guests had good deal of
fun hunting for their places, which
we're marked by little witches for the
ladies and the skull and cross bones for
the men. Candles in apple candle
sticks burned at each place and the
excitement grew lively as the candles
burned low, foretelllng who was to be
married first. Black cats surrounded
the center pieces of Towering plants.
After the luncheon the guests retired
to the sitting room, where the Arab
fortune teller, we'll versed III the art of
palmistry, revealed their futures. The
guests amused themselves during the
evening by finding their fortunes in
walnuts, and IN paper sacks which,
when blown up and busted. miraculous
ly revealed picture of their future
occupation. In the walnuts the
guests could only find blank paper but
the magic touch OF the witch brought
their fate. Several other ways we're
afforded to foretell the future, after
which, all sitting in true ARABIAN

the heart of the most skeptical wal
stirred. when, without warning, from
the ceiling ghost did drop. Fearing

PROPOSE SPECIAL TAX
FOR VIKING DISTRICT
Viking, Fla, March II, 1870

Viking, Fla, March II, 1909.
Editor TRIBUNE:
would like to say few words on
the school question, for, if we do not
begin devising ways and means to in
crease the funds, It will soon be no.
school question: Retrenchment,. and a
backward step was taken in cutting off
the free book system and again in cut
ting down the term of the country
schools from six to five months.
| know there is wide and | think,
well founded dissatisfaction on the
part of the country people who see the
town children going to school daily for
months, while their own children are
deprived of this privilege, but this
should not blind us to the fact that
even with these retrenchments there
is still large indebtedness to be paid.
Since the proposition of an extra
school tax for the county was turned
down we still have left us the Sub
district plan, and I will say to the
citizens of Oslo, Viking and St. Lucie,
that sub-district embracing these
points and running about IL miles
west, which would make it something
like IL miles square, with only small
extra millage would raise good sub
stantial sum to be spent at home on
our own schools, and by far the greater
part would come from nonresident
property owners and tax on railroad
property. Don't fail to sign petition
for chance to vote on it when bond
election is held. =.
| would be glad to have sub-road
district that would give us some con-
troll over the money we have paid for
road purposes for many years. All
that we have ever seen for five years
taxes is one wagon load of rock in the
middle of the public road at A 237 and
it seems to get smaller as our hopes
decrease. By all means let US have
good schools near home now, and good
roads as soon as we can get them.
The country schools away from the
noise, distraction and bad associations
of the towns are entitled to their full
share of the public money, and we
should see that they get it, and all the
extra money we can raise besides.

facts and figures showing that it would
be an injustice to Florida growers of

that the amendment of this rule will be
of vast benefit to the people of the
