Monday of the kind he is now harvest

are of the variety known as the "never-
blight" clean white tuber that looks
mighty good to us.

On Wednesday afternoon of last week
from to 8 o'clock, the teachers of the

tute. After inspecting the work dis
played on the black boards of the different
rooms, the guests proceeded to the high
school room. Here they engaged in So
cial chat, after which Russian tea was
served. Those in attendance report a
pleasant time.
Halloween is approaching, and will
be celebrated throughout the land on
next Saturday evening. Of late years
the observance of this event has taken a
more rational and decent turn, and the
usual vandalism has been conspicuous

was out in costume, and the merry-mak-
ing was enjoyed by old and young alike,
and it is hoped the approaching festival
may be of a similar character. Should
there be any vandalism or unseemly sc-
tions on the part of any one, the perpe-
traitors will be severely dealt with by
Burgess Reck, who is determined to
prosecute and punish all lawlessness.
