Night - Halloween Ball in katz
Hall and Other Social Events

ed by a few, this being most TOO weird
! for the gentler sex.
!. There were some features OF the eve
that should be eliminated by the po-
lice that of throwing -four, moving
porches and gates, hanging crepe on
doors and the like, and had the merry
makers, who did same last night, been
caught they would have been punish
ed.
1t is thought that the city could pre-
vent great amount OF the above
sport as the Young people call IT.,
by having the eve celebrated by a
fancy mask carnival, with parade,
headed by the bands OF the city and a
few prizes offered for best appear
ances. This would occupy the minds
Of those taking part, the young people

eliminated, and the eve be a pleasure
for all.

was the Halloween dance in Katz

ne second annual Apple SnUN dDd
Carnival Of the Berkeley County Hor-
ticultnral Society closed Saturday
night after continuing three days. The
show was a grand success from every
point Of view The exhibits were
larger and more varied than last fell;
and whilst he attendance may not
have been any larger this year, there
was one marked difference, namely,
the large number OF people present
from the western part of this State
and from distant as we'll as nearby
States. Many of them, OF course, were
fruit growers or interested in horticul
ture, while others came to see the
far-famed Berkeley county apples and
learn something about thera
One feature distinguished the show
this year and that was the athletic
contests in the square Friday after
noon. Except the tug of-war contest,
all had some connection with the ap-
pie business and all were interesting
and amusing as attest ed by the hun
dreds of young and old who witness
ed them.
The local society deserves a large
measure of credit for the success of
the show. but special measure is
due the comparatively few men upon
whom most of the work devolved, and
upon whose fertility of resource and
genius for affairs so much depended,
to make the show complete in all its
details.
Carnival Parade.
Whilst the parade Saturday after
noon was not quite up to the mark of
expectation, yet it was very creditable
considering the fact that the mrchants
and fraternal orders failed TO have
possessed some novel features, one of
these being the pony parade in which
number of boys and girls participated
Though this may have had no direct
connection with the apple carnival it,
self, it was pleasing sight anyhow.
Naturally the central feature of the
parade was the handsome float on
which rode Miss Sue Henson, Queen
of the Apple Blossom. attended by
bevy of her little school girls as maids
Of honor. The float was drawn by four
white horses furnished by the j. n.
Thatcher Orchard Co. and driven by
Holland Price, who seemed TO appre-
ciate the importance of his position.
A feature of special local interest
was a new stone spreading wagon just
built by the Auburn Wagon Co, under
the .company's patents. The wagon
is designed for road building and road
repairing and is in line with the good
roads movement now fast gaining
Roadway al over the United States,
Mexico and some other foreign coun-
tries. The wagon was on exhibition
during the Apple show and attracted
much attention.
Fruit Auction.
After the parade Saturday afternoon
Auctioneer Dodd sold lot of the fruit
on exhibition in the rink. About TWEEN
ty barrels and a dozen or more boxes
OF apples were sold and the bidding
was spirited The barrels brought
from SO up, while one of Black Twigs
was knocked down TO Junior Brown
of Kingwood, for $12.25. This is the
highest price ever brought for bar
rel of apples of that variety in this
market. The boxes sold at from S1.3o
to $2 A lot of Grimes Golden We're
sold at private sale at So box. Some
Keifer pears brought s1.S5 box. Some
of the fancy boxes of fruit were piac-
ed on sale in stores this morning. All
the fruit, etc. were removed from the
rink today.

do not vote a tax until you get a
statement of the valuation of your

instances it has been cut down.
