HALL0WE' ZEN FRANKS
How the Boys and Girls Distin-
guished Themselves on
Halloween.

The spirits got busy Thursday night
wandering around disconsolately. At
least, that is the opinion of quite
number who encountered ghostly forms
stalking the streets 1t was only the
boys and girls who were ont for lit
tie funmaking on Hallowe' EN-, when
most anything in joke is permissible
and expected. One crowd. mixed
one of lads and lasses, draped them
seves in sheets, and went from house
to house demanding admittance, and
having lots of fun over their crazy
pranks.
Another set moved in more myster-
ious ways, for their pranks were
more of the herculean character, for
they placed Gen. James Coldwell's de
livery wagon of top of 95-foot lum-
Der stack, much to the indignation of
the owner when he discovered it next
morning, who is vowing all sorts of
vengeance on the perpetrators. They
swung huge box on the crane for
lifting logs at the depot yards, and
hung it over the track, which was a
rather dangerous experiment, for if an
N. d @ brakeman had come strolling
along on the top of an on-rushing train
in the darkness, like the coloreu man,
he might have asked, if he ever recov-
cred, "Who fro'd dat brick" They
chained G Shermans gate, wired up
John Lawson gate, opened yard gates
and let the stock in, and did other
minor "devilments" One of the par
ty got to sailing around on an aero
plane, and got tangled up in the hal
yards of the fiagpole, and bad to take
fifty-foot slide for safety to the
ground At least it looked like an
aeroplane up there, but it was only
Frank Mosier's express cart. They
had jolly good time and worked
hard to sustain the reputation of All
Hallows.

TRACY CITY
Sketchy Letter on Various Sub
jects, Including Widows.

l said little about church manners,
but | guess it will do no good as the
fathers and mothers are not interested
enough in the church to instruct theil
children how to act at the house of
God, for the majority of them stay at
home and send their children to annoy
and disturb those people who would
like to worship God in decency and in
order. l believe Paul said, "Let ev-
erything be done in decency and in or
der" but if l can see straight not
much attention is paid to order by
those in charge of the worship at some
places. 1t is ridiculous and shame
before God to even claim to be follow
ers of God and allow such carvings
on at as some places.
Well, we have lost our dearly below
ed W. A. Martin. The Conference
has sent him to Etowah Station. We
congratulate the church at Etowab, for
| Brother Martin is an active, aggres-
sive preacher, far above the average,
While he is not of the same church to
which 1 belong, still love him just
as much as if he did. AS a Socialist
could not do otherwise for l believe in
a universal brotherhood and long to
see the day come when the people will
become cooperative both in church and
state.

very long ago whose tongue was just
about as long as mine. After laugh
ing and talking for while on light
trashy subjects began to court her
little. All could get her to say was
to tell her some more about the wild
ows, so 1 began to tell her about the
Alabama widow saying to another
lady we were both tongue tied and
never said a word. OF course she told
a fib for she talked all the time and
to the point.

Mrs. I. Newsom had a very nice
Halloween party Thursday night and
a very nice crowd attended, and all
reported a good time. There were jack

the ghost came in and told him to get

Life is fading fast away

Always young and fair to me.
