W, Iversexr and E. R. Schurman are actively engaged in canvassing for the Annval Prem- fum List of the Polk Couity Fair, and are meeting with excelient sue- cess. They have succeeded in secur- ing representation in the book from many progressive merchznts and business men of Lakeland, and ex- pect next week to make a canvass of Tampa. It is likely the book will make fully 100 Pages and will be an attractive and interesting pamphlet, and a valuable advertis- ing medium. In this connection it should be stated that every cent of revenue from advertising, bevond the actual expense of canvassing, printing ete., will be used for the benefit of the fair, and none of the net revenues will go to any [xrnmo individuals. Progress in all lines towards making the fair s successful and splendid enterpride s most satis- factory, and the Polk county fair of 1915 will far surpass any exhibition of the kind ever attempted in the county and will rival any simil agricultural and horticultural dis- play heretofore presented in the | State.

J. M. Ley. When the members had ar- rived, a short business session was held, and several new members joined the League. A social hour then followed, and proved to be one of the most enjoyable occasions the members of this organization have experienced. The decorations and games were symbolical of rfaloween, and the house and lawns were hos- i pitably relinquished to (ke guests, who perpetrated many ‘“‘spooky” pranks. After the adournment of the busi- ness session, all the lights were turned out and two ghosts appeared, carrying a bundle of twigs; from this bundle every one was invited to take one; the ghosts then led them to the back lawn where a bonfire was burning. After joining hands, the guests lighted their iwigs from the fire, making a wish. More ghosts then led them up a dim stair- way to a dark room where a spook answered questions concerning the future, while brother spooks chant- ed weird songs in concert. The par- ty was conducted from there to the lower floor where lights had been turned on, and a contest in which the participants secured good luck by throwing an apple throuzh suspended horseshoe, was indulged in, the fortunate one being Mr. Eu- gene Webb. Several other interest- ing sames, and music whiled the time away pleasantly for everyone. Delicious refreshments were then gerved, and it was not until late in the evening that the Leaguers de- parted homeward, tie declarations to this populor and his family that they had en- joyed a most pleasant evening. with enthusi pastor Mrs. A L.
