E. England, Brutlmr of our towiim.imii, Dr. W. G. Epgland, has been in town for several days tin* representative of tho Grangers Life and Health Imuniuro Company, an advertisement of which is in this pa per. Mr.‘Engl ml belongs to tho head department of the Company at Mobile, Ala., and came up for the purpose of paying the policy of tho lamented Miss Flora Mclvor, who died in this town about Chri -t,mas,and was insured in this company. Tho policy has been paid by Mr. England, showing tho promptness and relia bility of this company. Mr. Eng land is a genial gentleman and we hope he’ll visit our town again soon. Tuekduy night last, was ono memo- ruble to all who participated in tho moonlight pic-nic at the residence of Mr. J. O. Waddell. Although, it as sumed the name given above, it might have been more properly called tho “star-light pic-nic, for Luna seeming ly not so anxious to shed her brilliant rays upon the merry opowd, was slow to make her appearance attovu tno Eastern borrison. Consequently we were compelled to be content with tho lesser lights, which ‘•On the world in beauty fell,’’ imparling to each and every one feel ings of admiration and delight. Two by two the number continued to increase up to the hour of ten, when couples could be soon in almost every direction; some sitting, some standing, and others following the meandering paths, leading around the beds of fragrant flowers, from whence, occasionally a Tfisd was pluck ed by a pair oi lilly white hands, and pinned to the lapel of “a fellah’s’ coat, with such a sweet smile, as would at once lead one to believe that she would fain quote the words of ono of our ‘b’hoyK,‘ “now won’t you love me a leetle drap.” At, or near the hour of twelve sup per was announced,and by our smiling host we were conducted to the table which wus laden with tho most tempt ing viands. Mr. Allen was called ou for a blessing, after which, everybody “sailed in,” and those “wittles” began to disappear. About one or two o’clock the crowd began to break up, every body going home well contented with their nights pleasure, and the air was ringing with praises and thunks to our kind host and hostess.
