A surprise masquerade party was
rendered Chas Goodwin, Sr., on Hal
lowe'en by his friends, and to say
that he was surprised is putting it in
mild terms. The makeup of those
present was all that could be looked
for, and many could not be distin-
guished until unmasked. Much merri-
ment was had by party from Cam
den, who travelled down in costume
and represented "rube," who caused
all kinds of fun; Alexander the Band
Master; Weary Willie, the tramp, and
Miss Blue Stockings, and when return
ing home the "rube' had the mis-
fortune to lose his .sskypiece" twice
which was the cause of the party
missing the last train up, and they
were compelled to bunk up in hay
loft till morning The evening was
spent pleasantly playing games and
with music, not forgetting the needs
of the inner man. Those present
