nic at LaVilly last Friday includ
ing the schools at Byron, Dunbar,
Hattie and Powersville. The
place is an enclosed grove of state
ly oak trees directly in front of
Mr. D. F. Gunn’s handsome resi
dence, and not far from his fa
mous fish pond. By 9 o’clock a.
m. the people began arriving,
young and older, ancl before ten
o’clock several hundred people
were enjoying themselves.
There were no school exercises,
though there was a program.
About 11 o’clock Col. C. M.
Dupree of Byron mounted a wag
on, and introduced Mr. Walter J.
Grace of Macon, who had been
invited to deliver an address on
tho subject of education. The
speech was decidedly good.
Then dinner was announced,
with the futlier annoucemeut
Shut there would bo more speak
ing in the afternoon.
The dinner was characteristic
of Houston county people on such
occasions, just the best imagina
ble, and as bountiful as it was
good, The *“sauce” was the de
lioious hospitality of the people
providing the dinner, and the en
joyment thereof was complete.

politics, but this writer doseu
propose to tell any tiling he heard
ou that line, beyond tho fact
that all the candidates are hope
ful.
The hospitality and manage
mept of the picnic promoters were
without a flaw, and there was v no
incident to marr the pleasure of
the occasion.
May there be many more such
outings.

S. T. Hurst, Messrs. M. L. Coop

At Beech Haven Last Thursday.
The Sunday School people of
Elko, Grovania and Hayneville
enjoyed their annual picnic at
Beech Haven last Thursday.
From Elko and Grovania the
means of transportation was by
rail on the G. S. & F. road, and
the pleasure seekers reached the
park at-about 10 o’clock a m.
Later a number from Hayneville,
Perry and intermediate country
arrived by private conveyance,
swelling the crowd, the total be
ing between 200 and 300.
There were people of all ages,
the children probably predomina
ting-,
At once the lembnade stand was
put in working order, the chil
dren began their games, the se
nior young people congregated in
couples, and the older people in
dulged in discussions of crop pros
pects, home affairs and politics.
Clouds threatened rain about
the time preparations for dinner
began, and the tables were carried
into the pavilian. The rain came,
but no damage resulted, and one
cf the best dinners any people ev
er saw on a similar occasion was
served.
Rev. J, W. Simmons, pastor of
the Perry Methodist church in
voked the divine blessing, and
then the people satisfied their ap
petites, though scarcely more than
half the viands placed before
them were eaten.
The rain continued throughout
the afternoon, and though the
out door pleasures of the park
could not be enjoyed, the children
were as frolicsomo as if there had
been no disappointment, and good
humor and pleasant converse roll
ed the occasion.
Despite the rain, the picnic was
a success, but that goes without
saying, as with the good and clev
er people there assembled pleasant
humor and cordial hospitality are
ever controlling factors,
