Halloween. I was quite a little child
living at grandfathers. An aunt of
^ her old home,
iwo or three lads, cousins of mine,
had come to grandfathers to spend
Saturday night, and over Sunday. My
aunt smd to me in a whisper, full of
awe, ^‘Tonight is Halloween, go you
and stand in the corner of the kitchen
chimney, and listen. The first name
you hear spoken, will be the name of
the man you are to marry.” My
cousins were in the kitchen, with the
J ^ great time seeing
tod, grandfather’s hound dog per-
form tricks. Right here Fll degress
in favor of the hound dog that can be
taught to perform as intelligently as
any other breed of dogs. I myself
had taught Tod to say his prayers.
When he sometimes did a sneaking
^ct, as is the^ way of hound dogs, I
would scold him, and convince him of
the enormity of his* deed, and then
say, now come and say your prayers,
ask forgiveness.” He would come with
a contfite expression of face and tail,
put his head in my lap and remain in
silence profound until I’d sav ‘‘now
go.” Up he’d jump, race around like
t'l joyous barks, acting like
I had seen human beings do, when
they had got forgiveness for their
sins at the ‘Tbig meetings.” Tod’s
full name was Tod R, Caldwell.
But back to my tale of Halloween.
I went and stood in the chimney
corner, and listened. The first name
I heard called was Jim. The Poet
Burns immortalized Halloween. Any
one familiar with his poem, will
readily recognize the many ways of
telling fortunes that have been handed
down to us on Halloween. The
custom was brought over from Scot
land by the Scotch settlers. TOe first
ceremony appears to have been for a
lad and lassie to go hand in hand to
the kail yard, shut their eyes, and
each pull a stock of kail. Did the
earth stick to it, that signified a for
tune, if it didn’t, the reverse. But
in America, the fortune was told
with collards instead of kail. One
Halloween night, several years after
my first experience, I stole a collard
out of grandmother’s garden, and
went to the home of a near-by neigh
bor. It was a familiar saying at
Halloween, “Take care of your col
lards.” I crept through the yard,
and stood in the chimney corner quite
awhile. Silence reigned within, only
the cheerful crackle of the fire. I
began to think there was no name to
be called that night, and recalled that
other time I heard the name Jim.
Suddenly I heard some one say “I
wonder where Alfred is now.” I ran
around the house, threw the collard
in the porch, and yelled “take care of
your collards,” then beat it for home.
My husbands’ name was Jim. He
has been dead for many years. Alfred
hasn’t showed up yet. And I hope
he will not, ever. • Not at this late
day.
Today I received a very beautiful
and exceedingly interesting letter
from Miss Flora McQueen, missionary
at Kwangju, Korea, written to her
friends back home. I am sending it
to The Pilot for publication, and I
hope the editor will give it space, as
it will be of much interest to the
many friends of Miss McQueen, and
to all who read The Pilot.

The “Circus” at the school house

$69.00 was realized.
Monday was a bad day in more
ways than one, to get news. I called
at the big hardware store of J. E.
Phillips and told him I wanted some
other kind of news other than comers
and goers, and stickers like myself
and could he not give me an item
about his ginning cotton? And this
is what he said: that after this week,
he, J. E. Phillips, will operate his
ginnery only on Tuesdays and Fridays
and that he expects to close down for
the season November the 15th. Mr.
Fisher, an influential farmer on route
2, or possibly Carthage route, was
standing by and remarked, that was

Cameron people are greatful for
the good rains of Saturday night and
Sunday. But it will take many more
rains ,before we will have water in
the wells. Nearly all the wells in
town have been dry for some time
and others that had water, seem to
be getting drv, instead of filling.
People are hauling water from
Beaver Creek, and from Springs in
the country. The old fashioned
springs from which our forefathers
supplied their homes with water, and
that have so long been tabooed, on
account of germs and other wiggle
tails, are coming into their own again.
People are now hunting up the old
springs and digging new ones. Some
find water, some do not. Mack Vestal,
colored farmer, reports digging ten
feet and finding bone dry earth only.

Who Will Succeed
m
Who wants to become well-to-do, finan
cially? Practically all of us. We would all
like to have money enough to secure the
comforts of life and occasionally some of
the luxuries.
Who will succeed in attaining this envi
able condition? Only the prudent, hard
working- person who saves his money and
puts it to work for him. Savings alone will
rarely make you wealthy, but the EARN
INGS combined with yours will put you on
easy street in time, especially if your
savings are deposited in a safe bank like
