Messrs. Milton LANG, Jim Coker
and George McLain are the commit

two-thirds enough, in subscriptions as
good as cash. We hope all will con-
tribute as literally as they can. Free

Halloween.
Despite the disapproval of Col. J.,
Pluvius, the Halloween entertain
ment was carried out successfully and
a neat sum was realized by the Wo-
mans club. The greatest attraction
for the kids was the fish pond, under
the direction of Mrs. Smith and Mrs
Hannah the puzzle house, managed
by Miss Helen Melton, created much
merriment, as did the trip around the
world, which Mr.. Hill Coker kindly
conducted. The Gypsy fortune telling
tent was presided over by Mrs. g..
X. Mel ain. King Tut's tomb and for
men only were other booths. Various
refreshments were served by Mes
DANES Cookers, Hass, Harris, Wall,
Duggan, Richardson and others. Mr.
Carey Melton as auctioneer was Won
derful. He disposed OF everything that
wasn't sold before the auction. He
had the lucky ticket that won the
lovely cake made by Mrs. John Coker
and auctioned it on also. The spook
room, managed by Mrs. Duggan was
unique and created much interest,
Mrs. Jesse Smith and her coterie Of
willing workers are to be congratu-
