A Merry Evening.

On Saturday evening. October
Both, the hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs. Jeff Graham, six miles
east of Macon, was the scene of
a most beautiful and much en-
joyed Halloween party. Many
friends throughout the county
were present, and by invitation
the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades from the Macon Graded
and High School were there.
The house was tastefully and APP
propriately decorated in keeping
with the time, honored custom of
the Vigil Of All Hallows. Asso-
ciated as it is, in the popular i'm
agination with various supersti-
tons, there were present hob
goblins, ghosts and fortune tell
ers, as we'll as many beautiful
girls and handsome young men.
The element of prophecy was
one of the most interesting fea-
lures, and many a heart was
made to throb when predictions
of good or bad luck was handed
out. In front Of the house was
erected a beautiful arbor, cover
ed and screened by cedar, with
a waxed flavor, where many
tripped the light fantastic toe, to
the strains of beautiful music,
rendered by the string band.
About then o'clock. all were in
vited into the dining room,
where delightful refreshments
were served in great abundance.
1t was near twelve o'clock be-
fore a departure was attempted.
We left to the tune of Home
Sweet Home, and as it foated
out on the night air, it seemed
to mingle with the beautiful
light of the moon, and all SEEM
ed as merry as the Christmas
bells. [ am quite sure that all
who were SO fortunate as to be
present, both old and young,
join me in many thanks to Mr.
and Mrs. Graham, and their
lovely daughters, Uses. Tessa
and Dottie, who so faithfully
discharged the duties of hostess.
