Ghastly Silence
Halloween was so spookily interpreted in the decorating of MRS. VIDA DILLARD’s home in honor of the Football boys and the Pep Squad girls on Monday night.

Mr. Moore acting as a Ford and Mrs. Moore the driver, very appropriate, we think. WADE HARVELL dressed as a clown and GROSSIE DORSETT in a period costume look took honors for the costumes. Horns were handed out and everybody heard the frightful din that followed. MR. HANNAH’s side won the apple race on the grounds that he didn’t cheat any more than the others did. ‘Big Red’ ran him a close second.

Ringling Farmers Loose Turkeys
Farmers in this section have learned that when crops fall, they can turn to poultry raising and make enough money to tide them over until they take another chance with planting. Last week two Mountain Home farmers missed a considerable number of turkeys from their drove.
