County Clerk Chas A. Johnson has
ISSUED nearly $50 hunting llce-sc, so
far this fall. Some Of our fsrme-;
think that all of the hunters get On
their land about the same time.
4 A rainy night probably caused some
restraint to Halloween activities. but
as it was there was more or less
carrying-on." Shutters were taken
from houses, gates were carried away,
and similar evidences of Halloween
humor manifested. There was no &c.
rious damage to property, however. A
large proportion Of the people of the
town and vicinity enjoyed themselves
at the pleasant entertainment in the
community building. The colored
folks had masquerade party in the old
town hall which they seemed to eniov
very thoroughly.
M. Palmbaum & Brother, who for

The friends and neiehbors OF Forrest
J. Buckles, of the Halltown neiehhnr.
hood, did a very kindly thing for him
one DAY last week. 1t will be recalled
.la'' rev weeks ago he fell from
the roof of Gregg Gibson's barn
while sweeping chan and straw from
II, and hurt himself quite badly, sus-
tanning among other injuries broken
arm. He has been unable to do his
usual farm work, so Mr.. Gibson as
semoled fifteen white men and five
colored men of the neighborhood and
,hey descended on Mr.. Buckles corn
heids and put in the day huskinp
corn. They made the corn fly. NOT
only husking the most of it, but also
hauling large part Of the corn TO
the crib. The women of the vicinitv
| provided a fine dinner. and EVERYDAY
was happy. Mr. Buckles was deenlv
! appreciative Of this kindness on The
part Of his neighbors.
A Halloween entertainment piven in
the community building last Monday
nIsnt was one of the most pleasant
ahairs given in our town for some t:,nc
past, and was attended BY large num-
Der of people. More than 300 ner.
sons enjoyed the affair Scores of Wis
ltors were masked and in fancy cos
tunes. representing various characters
historical and otherwise Some NJ the
costumes were exceedingly attractive
The young folks had lots of fun. The
hal. had been decorated appropriately,
Halloween emblems predominatine and
fall foliage giving a pleasing effect.
Booths were about the hall, where
candies and refreshments were sold,
and fortune teller and a PIANIST did
1ourishing business. A pleasing orc
eramme Of music and readings was rem.
dered from the stage under the d.
rection Of Mrs. Robert Gibson. our
local talent taking part. A freak
quadrille by masked dancers was great
ly enjoyed by the audience. We think
all who were present enjoyed the even
ing all the more because rainy night
would have curtailed outside activities.
The proceeds Of the evening amounted
to S1l7.e4, which will be used in i'm
provements to the community build
ing.
