v The picnic given by some of our citizens
last "hursday, near Capt.-Withers’, was
quite a success, in the way of satiating
the most fastidious appetite. The Jadies
engaged in it know well enough how to
get up good things to cat. Everything
calculated to invite the appetite was
spread in the most bountiful profusion,
and if those present did not get more than
“a smell,” it was no fault of the ladies.
After the bountiful repast had been
disposed of, the young folks and old en
joyed themselves in different ways, as
their inclinations dictated. We return
our thanks W the kind ladies for the in
terest and Ittebjfcn shown us upon the
occasion, and asSßre them we highly ap
preciated their kindness,' and promise
them that jve shall always avail ourself of
like opp^rUtilities, to manifest our ap

The Valley School.
To th* Editor of The Gaaeite:
The first term of our valley school, at
Poplar Academy, in Walker county,
closed Friday last, the 30th of June.
Everything passed oft' very pleasantly, ex
cept tho weather; heat being very op
pressive. This is only a primary school,
nevertheless we were highly entertained,
and must say tho exercises reflected great
honor on the juvenile department.
Although we would not bo partial; yet,
tvs time and space would fail to tell of all,
we would beg leave to mention a few as
specimens of the school.
For instance, we were much entertained
by the “Grangers ideas” delivered by
Master Lonie Reaird, and followed by an
eloquently spoken “Eulogy” by Master
Johnnie Rrown ; while lit tle Emmet Shaw
entertained us with a vivid account of
“Santa Clans’ visits.” Emuiot will make
a master orator some day.
Rut the most attractive feature of the
evening's entertainment, was in the de
partment of composition. The original
exercises rend with so much grace and
composure by four rosy cheeked girls, are
worthy of notice.
The first was a comical description of
“Composition day” by Miss Mollio
Adams; which was followed by a very
practical essay on the subject of “Kind
Words,” by Miss Edna Reaird; .-.while
Miss Susie Clark, in describing the
“Beauties of Nature,” begins with jhe
delicate little wild flower, and leads us
jtep by step, from one object to another,
ever expanding, soaring higher and higher
until beauty is lost in sublimity, and the
soul in profound rapture.
Finally, we are greeted with a “School
girl’s soliloquy” by Miss Lilia Rosser, in
wjbich the ideas of tho joyous, merry
scliool girl, are most accurately portrayed.
’ Last, but not least, was the ‘Drunk
ard’s .Dream," recited by a young lady,
witti a pathos that appealed to every
feeling heart. And mediinks, there was
not one, but what jimmied “."A men " to
the praWr—
"That anbt hi may tlte in every land,
To dash fh'iA'up from tho dVuakai-d's hußd.”

iii Ahoih the lodge has sustained an ir
reparable loss, and the country one of her
HiosJ'enterprising and industrious citizens;
yet, we know that God’s wisdom admits
of no inquiry into His acts and motives.
It therefore behooves us to bow in humble
submission .to the edicts of His Holy
Will, and in meekness,jpid humility, say
1 ‘Thy will be done.”
It is not our desire to exnress a heart
less or unfelt sorrow, when we say, we
deeply and sincerely mourn the loss of
our worthy brother, but wo trust our loss
lias been his eternal gain, and believe the
virtues be possessed, his moral influence,
and good example justify us in the hope
that he has only been called from labor
in ihu, temple on earth, to that temple
not made with hands eternal in the

announce the death of Brother Elihu

It is with sorrow and sadness that we j
endeavor to bow in meekness and Chris
tian fortitude, to the mysterious dispen
sation of Providence-that lias taken from
our midst the true and faithful brother
John Jones, a member in full fellowship,
and good standing of Summerville Lodge
No. 109 of F. and A. M. in bis death
which occurred on the 11th of September
1870, the lodge lias sustained an irrepa
rable loss; bis family a kind husband and
father; and the country at large one o ( ’
its truest men, safest counsellors and best
citizens, whose only rest in this life was a
change of occupations, such was his
energy and industry, until stricken down
by the liuml of affliction; and even then,
his life was a model of exactness, punctu
ality, ami a strict devotion to duly.
While he bad strong convictions, lie was
free in the expression of his opinions from
that obtrusive self-assertion which not
unfrequently mars the influence of good
men dying as he bad lived, believing it
right to do and live right fur the sake of
right. Therefore, be it
Rewind, That the furniture and jewels
of the lodge be draped in mourning as a
silent expression of our grief for the space
of thirty days; and that the foregoing
