Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Weather is getting cooler. B. W. Pumphrey and Miss Grace Sharp of Brook spent Tuesday evening with N. C. Pumphrey. Miss Lillie Seward’s uncle of Peru spent Sunday with her. The writer did not learn his name. N. C. Pumphrey and Luther Lyons spent Sunday in Rensselaer, making the trip on wheels. Quite a numder attended rhe milk church festival in Rensselaer. Dr. Merry was the looser of his horse for a few days last week, but it was found at its old home west of town. The schools of Jackson township are closed for this week on account of the regular County Institute being in session at Goodland. This is good for the farm boys as it gives them a chance to gather the corn. Death has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edd Harris and taken away their little six month’s old boy. Short services were held at the home and the remains were placed in No. 1 grave yard. They have the sympathy of their many friends. Miss Blanche Merry arrived home with her father Saturday. She is improving fast in health, but will not return to school untill after the holidays, when she thinks she will be able to complete the years work. A masquerade party was given at Mr. and Mrs. Frank Coovert’s home Oct. 31st, in honor of our young people. All the games usually at such a party were played with much interest. All returning home at a late hour feeling they had spent an enjoyable evening in Mt. Ayr. Mr. and Mrs. Washburn of Fair Oaks were recent callers at Dr. Caldwell’s. Cary Kennedy of Morocco attended the party at Mr.Coovert’s. The boys still keep up our forefathers way of acting. Friday morning the town looked like a savage town, everything being out of place. When boys do not know enough to conduct themselves decently their fathers should be held responsible for their actions on these Halloween occasions.

Farmers are busy husking corn. George Hopkins has just finished a seventy five barrel cistern. Bob, the faithful dog of Mr. Sigler, considering this life not worth the living, rushed in front of the train a few days since and was killed. A surprise party was recently given at George Clark’s, four miles west of town in honor of of his son Grant, quite a number from Mt Ayr. attended. The many friends who convened spent a very pleasant time, and wished Grant much pleasure and success. The box supper recently given by N. C. Pumphrey at No. 3 school house was a success. No one need to say they could not afford a box as buyers were in demand. Four couple from Rensselaer attended. One wagon load from Mt. Ayr. consisted of eighteen girls and four boys, and Mr. Bangston brought a hand car load. In all there were forty-five baskets and the proceeds were . If every teacher would make an effort they could secure as much, if not more, and a great many books could be purchased that would aid both teacher and pupils. The two rooms at the town school united two weeks ago on Friday afternoon, for the first time under their literary organization, with Miss Grace Caldwell, president and Miss Eva Hess, secretary. The scholars performed their work well. The society adjourned to meet in two weeks.

ed to this point that are s being hauled out to some of the neighboring farms. This is a move in the right direction and we feel sure the money spent and time thus expended will notbe wasted. “Whither are we drifting?” We have no church, no Sunday school, no social gatherings of any kind; well perhaps it is all right after all. We never appreciated anything of the kind when we did have an opportunity to go; we never assisted any effort for the betterment of our fellow beings and ourselves, but let us alone, we are beginning to see where the fault lies. Perhaps in some distant day, when people have forgotten how we used to act when something for improvment was mentioned, we shall be so repentant as to be the first one to labor for the cause we have spurned. B. Y. Guess.

Guess Where and Go There.

The Q. N. M. S., (a society of girls) gave a hallbween party to their gentlemen friends Oct. 31st, at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Medicus. It was a “guess where and go there” party. The invitations read: “On the evening of Oct. 31st, please come by And have a piece of Jack Horner’s pie. We’ll not tell you where ’twill be; Put on your thinker and come and see.” A good deal of time was taken up hunting for the place, but at nine o’clock the boys were successful. Soon after a huge Jack Horner pie was placed on, a table, and at a given signal each one drew a souvenir, which also gave them their partner for the evening. The evening was pleasantly spent in progressive games. The first prize was won by Ara Glazebrook, and the boys’ first prize by True Wood worth. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served. The girls were assisted in serving by Misses Vergie Austin and Floss Wright. At a seasonable hour they departed all saying they had a delightful time and it will be a long time before they forget this halloween or the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Medicus.
