But the real big kick comes on Tuesday night. ----- A Hallowe’en social with the usual large and happy gathering was held by the pupils of the Jacksonville school at the county seat last night. ----- Girls bring your boxes! Boys bring your coins! When ghosts are abroad and spirits talk; when elves and goblins will everywhere walk, ‘tis then we hope you will be present at the box social at the Lone Pine school, Monday, Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. ----- “Work of loading 1,000 boxes of small red stock apples to be shipped to England for the Christmas trade, was completed today, according to announcement made by A. C. Briggs, manager of the Ashland Fruit and Produce Association,” says the Ashland Tidings. “The apples are specially selected for the peculiarities of the English trade, which favors the smaller sizes in preference to the larger. The apples will be placed in refrigeration on the ‘Nebraska,’ which is scheduled to sail from Portland Saturday, October 28, and will arrive December 10, in Liverpool. The shipment is made to the Dan Wuille, company of London.” — Alissa Corman; [email protected]
