How strange it seems that some of the older men for- 1 get so readily their younger days, when as boys they too so much enjoy- 1 ed and looked forward to hallowe'en. ! The very name seems to stirr within i the hearts of the youngsters the feel- j ing that they really must be out â-  playing some pranks to scare or sur- â-  prise, or perchance, annoy some one, . There really is no fun at all unless they are chased a number of times, I the oftener the more thrilling, which i ail goes to make a boy's life less mon- otonous and more interesting. It all adds to the fun when on the following i mornii\g someone threatens what will ; be done, etc., if some little trifle is | not replaced. But for many years Hallowe'en has been Hallowe'en and boys have been boys and October would not be complete without this day, the very last, to end the fun of summer. Social Evening Given People Of The Section ROCK MILLS P0RTL4W JONATHAN LATIMER HELD AUCTION SALE Is Leaving Eug-enia To Stay With His Daugfhter At *» Bognor Mr. Jonathan Latimer had a very successful auction sale of household effects here on Saturday last, and left this Monday to reside with his daugh- ter, Mrs. Frizzell, of Bognor. Mr. Latimer has lived in this vicinity all his life, and left the farm some ten years ago to reside in the village, where he has lived' up until the death of his -wif, two years ago, and has since spent a part of his time with his teughter at Bognor, coming back to his own home for the summer months. Mr. Latinier was ever a good neighbor, highly respected and will be missed, as will the family, who all excelled themselves in educa- tional lines and will make good citi- zens for other communities. We are sorry to lose Mr. Latimer from the village but wish him success andl happiness in his new home. Mr. Latimer has sold his house and property to Mrs. Allen of Kimberley, who has taken possession. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pipher, Toron- to, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Our school was the scene of a Very unique knd pretty Hallowe'en party, when tne teacher. Miss Mc- Queen, together with the pupils, en- tertained the section. The school was decorated very prettily in orange and black streamers, lanterns with black witches and scary cats peering out here and there through decora- tions. Jack-O'-Lanterns, too, added to the decorations, and could be seen from every window, the light showing through the funny faces of each, giv- ing the school from the Qutside quite a bright, men'y appearance. The school was lighted by candles and al- together the decorations were carried out with splendid taste. The children came in" Hallowe'en costumes, very pretty some of them, while others were spooky and funny, and each pupil acted his part excep- tionally well. There were about twenty of the villagers who masked and w^ere the cause of great fun and merriment, which, of course, all added to the evening's enjoyment and suc- cess. A number of the men deserve credit for the hearty interest shown by wearing costumes that provoked 30 much laughter, and that will not be soon forgotten, for we always re- member the occasions when fun and laughter are uppermost. Miss McQueen had the pupils give a short program, appropriate to the oc- casion. Every number was splendid, one number being a ghost story, and at the end the chairman was jumped at which almost caused him to fall off his chair â€" but didn't, for Fred does not lose his head so easily â€" caused great applause. The chorus- es were hearty and communit-^' sing- ing also lent a happy air to the party. After the program the party was en- tertained in the basement where games were indulged in, such as bobb- ing for apples and getting bobbed by apples. in the comer of the basef- ment a poor old couple looking very spooky and queer told fortunes and did some surprisingly clever hand- reading. Apples were passed around and they contained fortunes, which were very flattering indeed. Every- one enjoyed the music during the lunch hour and, as usual, the lunch was a bountiful one, served by the ladies. Miss McQueen treated all to candy afterward and a little social time spent. .Altogether the evening was a grand success and reflects much credit upon the teacher, who spared no pains in making the evening an enjoyable one for all those present. Mrs. Frizzell and Mr. Jonathan Latimer of Bognor spent Thanksgiv- ing at the home of the latter's brother, Mr. Leonard Latimer, before leaving for their home at Bognor.

Gore Bay Recorder: The editor of The Record 3r. while out hunting partridge last week, walked into close quarters with a huge black bear. Being arnicJ only with a light fowl- ing piece, h'^ decided to retire with as much dignity as possible under the circumstances. Having increased the distance between himself and bruin his dignity deserted him and the re- tirement that was commenced in good order broke into disorderly retreat. When about to reach the shelter of a friendly tree, a backward gllance at the enemy, revealed the bear going over a bluff in an opposite direction evidently intent on finding quarters in the forest that would prove a more healthful abiding place.
