HALLOWE’EN PARTY
HELD BY S. S. CLASS
The Progressor’s class of the M. E.
Sunday school gave a Hallowe’en
party at the home of Mr. and Mrs
Lloyd Edwards,
All the festive spooks from the '
16th century to the present were rep-
resented in costume, They seemed
to fleck in from all directions and
about & o’clock the photographer
grouped the spooks in among the
autumn leaves, corn shocks, and other
decorations of the home for this oc
casion, and we don’t know yet what
the result of that flash will be.
The fun began when a unique fig
ure played a sprightly- march on the
piano. and the crowd by intuition
seeming!j chose partners ana march
ed in fantastic fashion out doors and
through the house again. There were
many surprises when the masks were
removed, stout people were slim, and
cripples were able to walk without
crutches, the overgrown school boy
trying to make his Sunday suit last
another year, was a success; he gave
every one a chew of gum while he
was playing round with his come
back-ball, and he and little Lloyd with
his white shirt waist, knee trousers
and bare-foot sandals, did small boy
stunts, while Mrs. Daggett sang in
her most frolicsome manner “Barney

Googoo,” and brought the house down
was none other than dignified Elwood
Faxon and Lloyd Edwards.
Our fine hosts had provided more
amusements than time permitted, so
the guests appeared in the dinning
room, where ghostly Jack-O-Lantern
eyes peered at you from all corners,
while you were partaking of the de
licious pumpkin pie, doughnuts and
sweet cider. “When the frost is on
the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the
shock,” they like to meet at Mr. and
Mrs. Edwards. While this class is
planning to have a party at some of
the different homes once a month,
they are capable of good hard Bible
study, and lively discussions on the
most important subjects of life often
take place.
They extend a hearty welcome to
everyone to meet with them next
Sunday at 10 o’clock at the little old
M. E. church if they are not attend
ing elsewhere. A. G Beals is the
teacher, although he was not present,
having been called to Portland un*
expectedly on business.
Those present were. Mr. and Mrs. .

it will be transformed into a smart
little town, and the inhabitants will
be able to see an endless procession
of »ut«> tourists whining by—going
and coming.
Numerous cuts and fills are passed
on the new road. Beyond Fletcher’s

Just south of the lake, which parallels
the road for sonic little distance, we
come to a great cut 75 feet long and
about 35 feet wide. Here, the county
has built a rock wall about 3 feet
high around the turn upon the edgi
of a hill that breaks off toward the
ocean almost vertically.
Below to
the beach it is all of 300 feet. This
excavation took tons of powder and
many weeks of work.

months were spent in the completion

himself, when he takes the labor of
