HOW THE BOYS
OBSERVED HALLOWE' EN-
Compared with Former Occasions
Tuesday Nights Celebration
was Somewhat Quiet

was somewhat Qulet
AS time passes there is less interest
manifested in Halloween. In contrast
to this fact there is more precaution
taken against the pranKs the boys
generally play. Yesterday afternoon
many people could be seen depositing
their gates in safe places, and rid
ding their porches of everything NOV
able, chairs, flower pots, etc. The po-
lice force was increased considerably,
and men were placed in all parts of
town to see that no private property
was destroyed. Another thing, their
regular leaders were not here. Some
have moved their residence from this
city, while others are on the plains of
Texas.
AS was seen this morning some of
our artists made their rounds, and
some of the drawing were as follows:
4 splendid portrait of A. E. Gerig
next to the Specially Shop; poll
itician on the Anderson Pharmacy; a
cat with his back all ruf1ed up and a
knot in his tail, with an appropriate
penning affixed, on the Book Shop; a
likeness of DR.. Carlisle around the
eyes in front of his store, and pictures
of jews on the different Hebrew
places in the town.
One crowd procured thirty-seven
gates and after carrying them as far
as they wished, deposited them. An
other thing the boys did, was to move
the sign of Green, ths colored barber,
around in front of Percy Perkins
place. The only other sign that we
have record of them carrying off, was
the one at the Seaboard dining room.
The proprietor became very wrathy
over the prank played on him. The
boys also set hack across the side
walk on North Magnolia street.
Services were going on in a colored
church, and the boys broke the meet
ing up by ringing the bell. The col
ored folks thought Halloween ghosts
had gotten them sure enough.
Some of the anonymous inscriptions
on the windows were as follows:
