A Glorious Time.

Delphi Citizen: Sbeol broke loose in all parts of the county on Hallowe’en, judging from our Friday morning telephone reports. At Burrows the logs in the mill yard were rolled into the streets. At Rockfield gates were removed and buggies elevated to the top of barns. At Cutler a buggy was observed on top of the saw mill on Friday morning and Wm. Sellers’ fence was set over “on the line.” At Burlington a horse was found in a band stand, a wagon on the school house and a corn shredder on top of Jack Ferrier’s barn. At Pyrmont a threshing machine, traction engine and a ton of hay were secreted in a pair of Jim Allen’s trousers. At Owusco, Radnor and Ookley everything that was 'loose was indiscriminately piled. Buggies, wagons and] plows decorated barns at Yeoman and Patton. Even over at Pittsburg, where the good people go to bed with the chickens, some one stayed up until after dark and took gates off the hinges. Oh, well, Hallowe’en only comes once a year and young folks will be young folks. At least they used to be.
