Ghosts Were Busy in Hickory Last Night, Nov. 1, 1919

From the Daily Record, Hickory, N.C., Nov. 1, 1919

Ghosts Were Busy Here Last Night

An occasion that proved as enjoyable for the children as Christmas—when Old Santa Claus comes along in his airplane—was Halloween in Hickory last night. From the minute darkness settled over the land, or as soon as the young folks could get supper, they were out with their costumes, and all kinds of elfs, witches, ghosts and the like were soon moving about town. The business section was invated and along towards 11 o’clock the school bells were rung.

It was a real treat for the children and as many pronounced it the time of their lives. For those just large enough to enter into the spirit of the celebration, it was indeed.

The time of gathering up the debris this morning and washing faces last night was trivial compared to the fun, it would appear, though the Record had no reports on this task.
