  1. We will have November's Night on next Sunday night. There will be great on that night. The boys and girls will be outside pulling cabbage and throwing it at the doors. The ones that will be within will be playing other tricks. They will get three saucers and they will put clean water in the first one, dirty water in the second, and clay in the third one. Then they will put a cloth on some ones eyes, and he will pick out one of the saucers.
