HALLOWEEN PASSED OFF
WITHOUT MISCHIEF

The desire of our young men to
be less mischievious, this year than
formerly is very gratifying to our
people and more honorable and re-
filming to themselves.
A few years ago the advent of
halloween was an excuse to break
all the dirty malicious mischief that
loose ON the public generally with
could be devised or conceived in
the minds of all inclined to the un-
civilized.
But what a change has. come
over our young men They have not
shown the first sign of the scaw-
enger this year and have not mol
ested property with impunity as
formerly.
The education permeating the ma
ture of the boys brings out the
dirty savage and in his place in
stalls the bright and shining light
of the world-a model young man.

ACCIDENT

Yesterday morning, Mrs. c. L.
Campbell met with a painful and
what might have proved a fatal
accident, at her home ON West
Sixth street. 1t seems that she had
been leaning over the electric
washing machine, when her hair
became caught in the cogs of the
machine. She reached down to
loosen it and her right hand was
drawn into the machine, severing
two of the fingers above the first
icint. Part of her hair was pulled
from her head before the machine
could be stopped. Mrs Campbell is
resting easier today but the shock
to her nerves was so great that
she was unable to rest last night
She is recovering nicely from the
effects of the accident. Atlantic
