Costumes and Parades

re-

81 The Golden Fair is the big noise in Mears this week . The shining of pumpkins , the plumping of plums , the punking of water- melons , the colored crinkle of crepe paper , the making of parade cos- tumes , the mystery of impersonations go merrily on . Friday is the big day of fancy work and soup , of quilts and quinces , of parsnips and prunes , of turn - ups and turn - downs . We hope you turn up and please don't turn down the girls selling the beautiful home - maid candy.- Miss Ruth Wyckoff went down to Ann Arbor Saturday and made eyes on the campus . - Betty Farmer was married the other day to Orie Keeler in Hart at the Methodist parsonage . Orie is a coast guard at Thunder Bay near Alpena . - Dr . Boynton and the Frasers and W. A. Berger are late lingerers at Little Sable Point . The driver's license of Leon D. Haskins , Shelby barber , has been revoked . He was cently in an accident which was fatal to his wife . The coroner's jury said it was accidental , but seeing he drove past the Hart hospital with her the state police thought his driver's license should be revoked.- Mrs. and Mr. Fred Wilson of Inkster spent a few days with the A. F. Allen family at Smith Corners and explained to their old neighbors that the ink spot in Inkster is getting darker and darker . The Ethio- pian ward is widening . Muriel Allen came home from school to greet them in polished mahonany manners and her older sister , Eileen , told about the election " bust " down at Pentwater high school where they served hot dogs and cold marshmallows on the beach along with soft cider and hard fried cakes . Fern Bowers had a sandy complextion in school the next day . Maybe she stood on her head . All wool socks , 15c a pair , 2 for 25c ; water - proof jackets , $ 2 , $ 2.75 : those good san- forized covert shirts , full louble yoke , blue , tan , gray , at 65c ; men's heavy cotton underwear , $ 1.00 ; boys ' underwear , 50c ; also the best 15c dress socks in town . Ideal Sales Co. , across from the Hart Auto Co. Howard Chowning has worked so long at the Harrison basket factory that he feels he ought to inherit it . And I wonder if he would

even divide up a door knob with Walt Wyble , who lives alone with his cat . - When Marvel Schuyler gets through picking her noonday teeth she calls for Beatrice Curtis to walk to high school . - Miss Mary Wet- more , who is attending high school in Hart this year , says she would like to go back to Marywood academy at Grand Rapids this year but she wanted to be near her little brother . Mary's weakness is pepper- mint candy on Thursdays and hot fudge sundaes on Saturday . - Miss Florence Haynor , the Smith Corner's teacher , has attained royalty at last . She has acquired an Earl and I do not know if he was married in a Prince Albert but I'll bet she feeds him hash on Monday and calls it Duke's Mixture . - For sale on easy terms : small house in Shelby , with very small down payment and the balance like rent . George Les- lie R. 2. Hart . - Art Squire of Pentwater , the newly retired rural car- rier , celebrated his independence by taking his family on an extensive trip to Flint , Kalamazoo , Hartford and Lansing . - Nine dozen fruit jars for sale or trade . Malcolm Wood . Also a row boat and a gas en- gine by the same . After keeping off the grass in Europe this summer Dr. E. A. Gray has come back to Pentwater to mow the lawn . - Mrs . Aubrey Adams is still baking pancakes for Harry Prosser . Among the brisk and beautiful basket weavers at Harrison's package factory are Luella Woodlanl and George Senecal's daughter . - Miss Dorothy Al- len , the lovely salad carrier at a Hart restaurant , seems to have elop- ed with Frank Barnes , or did she ? -Esther Leslie Hayes and Melvin Hayes of Ludington are rejoicing over the new boy's arrival . - A keg of cider , a bushel of apples and a bushel of popcorn regaled the sur- prise party at Mrs. Al Scofield's for Charles Gruber , the paddle boat man and his wife Lydia , who are soon leaving this autumn paradise for winter quarters . - Miss Eunice Sours is drying apples again this fall like she did forty years ago when she was postmistress of Peach Ridge . For Sale : 1936 Chrysler sedan , 1936 Plymouth coach , 1936 Plymouth master coach , 1935 Plymouth coach , 1934 Ford tudor , 1934 Ford fordor , 1933 DeSoto sedan . The new Plymouth sounds the new- est note in modern luxury combined with safety styling . Gillett Mo- tor Sales , Hart . - John Lovell , who has tried rural life this summer on a farm west of Round Lake , has returned to reside in the city of Mears across the street from Frank Downing . - A well located , roomy house in Pentwater for sale , overlooking , Pentwater Lake . Modern conveniences . Mrs. Rebecca Woodford , care of Perry Reed , Pent- water . I don't know how long it took Ruth Esther Kerr to squeeze out all those grapes one by one or to put the crimps in the cookies , but anyway she served grape juice and cookies to the Junior Farm Bureau Thursday night . Six were late and four were later , but not too late to supper . If Ruth Esther wants to get everybody there on time she should announce that the refreshments would be served the first thing , promptly on the tick of the tock or the dot of the bell . While they were all gathered together they had a little shower on Earl Richards , who recently married Florence Haynor . He is going to be Farm Bureau manager for the county now and may have time to fred the cows neither Haynor oats . Won't the Junior Farm Bureau have a great time when they put on their amateur night this winter ? -Say , do you know the Veterans of Foreign Wars is going to have a W. L. S. home talent show and I believe it is the evening of Octo- ber 14 that they will have the preliminary auditions . If that date
