In The Home Of Mrs. Lindsey.
Old supertitions die hard, and
it will be a long time before the
custom of celebrating Halloween
goes out of fashion. Then too.
it is a weird festival in which the
supernatural is supposed to play
a part, and this is sure to appeal
to the young people of today who
are continually looking for some
thing startling.
Mrs. J. D. Lindsey received
the Faculty of the Cairo High
School and a few other friends
cordially at a Hallowe’en party
list Thursday evening. The par
lor and reception hall were at
tractively decorated with all the
Hallowe’en suggestions, such as
black cats, witches, owls and
ghosts.
The guests came masked as
spooks and witches they were

associates
in the “spirit” land were in wait-
and were greeted with various
kinds of pantomimic expressions
of welcome. After tjic last spook
arrived each guest unmasked and
games of different kinds were
played.' “Humoresful” and
other, instrumental selectors
were beautifully rendered by
Miss Ida Lizzie Clark. At a
late hour the dining-room door
was opened and the guests were
invited into what seemed to be a
' “Forest” the room being decor
ated with a profusion of autumn
leaves. The place-cards were
‘ quite unique, each guest having
’ . to find their place designated by
a couplet written on' paste-board
■cut in the shape of an owl. A
■ . • salad course with*an ice drink
•/ • -was served.at each place.. After
’ this course the. pumpkin-pie,
; . ■whihh' was used as a . center
. piece, with black ribbons reach-
jng to each plate was opened; the
. . ' ■guests obtained their, share by
* • pulling the ribbons by means of
a black cat tied on the end of
each ribbon: this was their for
tune “in a nut-shell.” This was
the close of a most delightful and
informal evening.
Possum Hunt

'JUDGE JAMES B. PARK
Gray, Ga., October 20.—Judge
James B. Park, before adjorning
the October term of Jones county
superior court, administered a
scathing rebuke to the eleven
jurors who acquitted Mrs. King
yesterday afternoon. Judge
Park said:
“I do not understand how"
eleven men could bring in a ver
dict of not guilty in the face of
the undisputed testimony of re
putable citizens that Mrs. King
had conspired with her paramour
to murder her husband. -
"I am more than ever forced
to the conclusion that the crimin
al laws of Georgia were formed
rather for the protection of the
criminal than for the protection
of society.”
.The statement created a sensa
tion.
Mr. C. H. Snoden of Bruton,
Ala., is here with the . Boyd Co.
He come to superintend the erec
