Respectfnlly, T. P, McElreath, Druggist. New Post Master for Vienna- On Wednesday of last week Prof. Wm. J. Harvard was appoints ed, postmaster for Vienna. This will be good news to Mr. Harvard’s thousands of friends in Dooly and adjoiningcounties. For the past thirty seven years Prof. Harvard has been teaching school inDooly and adjoining coun ties. All of this time except a very few years has been spent in Dorfy county alone. Nearly every cf munity in the county has felt his Christian influence and gentleness of character while many men and women who now have families point with pride and love to him as their tutor. During all this time he has nev er held public office. And now since his life has been almost worn away he will settle down for four years at least, in the post office in the capital of his county. Mr. Harvard has been teaching this year at Richwood, 3 miles south from Vienna, walking to and fro morning and night, and his term will not end there until about June 1st, after which we suppose he will take charge. Mr. R. S. Middleton, the retir ing postmaster, though put in len der Harrison’s administration has made Vienna a model postmaster in every respect. Kind, clever, obliging, prompt, he has endeav ored to carry out the strict letter of the law and serve all alike and we fail to find any one who has a word to say against his adminis tration- Not only so, butj he has fully identified himself with the best interests of our town and coun ty and has the esteem of every citi zen. Four States In One l)ay. The Macon papers state that the Georgia Business College of that city, placed in good positions as stenographers,one day last week, four young lady graduates, repre senting the four states of Missis sippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, three of whom had been studying shorthand but two months, having entered since Jan 1st. Six to eight months is the time usually required for the completion of Book-keeping, Shorthand or Telegraphy, in the Text Book Col leges of the country; but by the methods of practical and individ ual instruction, pursued in this institution, full scope is given the the energies and talents of every student; and they receive their just reward in his graduation and location in a good position within a few weeks. From all reports, this college is certainly proving a blessing to the youth of the south, not only by giving them a thorough business training, but securing good posi tion for them immediately. in and around Vienna Friday morning. It was the day for the picnic at the camp ground. The azure blue of an ideal South Georgia spring day sky was flecked here and there with small fleecy clouds, while a pleasant breeze played hide and seek in the valleys and over the hills, among the dells and through the dales of the gar den spot of Georgia. (Dooly of course.) At 7:30 o’clock the children and young people began to gather at the park, happy and joyous, waiting to be transported to the picnic grounds. At 8 o'clock the wagons, hacks ajid buggies were wheeled into line and “all aboard for the picnic." Soon the children were all seated and the first load went out laughing, jok ing and singing. Three trips were made before all were carried out and the last load, consisting of the older ones and the baskets did not arrive until 11 o’clock. But the children, led by some of the older ones had already searched the woods and swamps for flowers, fer ries and plums and wree engaged in many small games. The cool shade, the »ocial con verse and the entire happiness of the young heople made the occa sion a6 pleasant as could be de sired. The Peasant Valley and Mt. Vernon Sunday Schools joined heartily in the occasion and added much to its success. Delegates from fifteen different churches in the county were pres ent and being gladly welcomed entered fully into the pleasures of the day. Byromville, Snow, Una dilla, Pinehurst, Richwood. Fenn, Cordele and many communities were represented. At 11:30 o’clock while the pic- nicers were still enjoying them selves, the delegates from the dif ferent churches met and organized the “Dooly County Sunday School Association,” electing John E. Howell, President; John Crump- ler, Vice-President; J. Frank Cal houn, Secretary; James F. Cobb, Treasurer; T. Rents Smith, Chor ister; and an Executive Committee composed of R. ;L. Wilson, L. B. Jones, H. IE. Smitn, J. M. Spears and G. B.Smith. From the attend ance upon this their first meeting we think this association starts off under auspicious circumstances. Promptly at 1 o’clock dinner was announced and everybody in vited to partake. Thecrowd moved upon the tables in solid phalanx and soon the many good things be gan to move, slowly but persist ently. Exclamations and con gratulations were heard on all sides at the magnificent spread prepared. But, it was just like it always is in Dooly, the people who carried baskets had to take home a boun tiful supply after all had been fed. Only one accident marred the pleasure of the dny. Just before reaching the grounds the horse driven by Miss Viol* Buff took fright and jumped suddenly back* wards. This threw her headfore most upon the horse which badly frightened it and it ran away throwing her out, together with a little neice and a negro girl. The negro girl and the niece were not hurt much, but Miss Buff received many painful bruises upon her head, face and arms, together with a severe wrench of the bach. Mr. J. W. jKoberts. who was Just be hind, hurried back to town for a physician, while many solicitious friends made it as comfortable for Miss Buff as possible. Soon she was moved over to the grounds, the physician came, pronounced her wounds not dangerous, and while she could not move about during the day, she seemed to en joy the occasion as much as possi ble under the circumstances. Late in the afternoon the crowd dispersed after adding another happy chapter to their lives. " _'I ' Conven tion cf the Houston Baptist Sun day School Asso ciation.

Little Johnnie, son of Mr. J. C. Tracy, who has been right sick for a day or two. is improving. Mrs. Homer Bass returned home o few days ago from near Ash- bum, where she went to attend the death-bed of her mother. We are eorry So not*’ the death of Mrs. Elijah Pate, which boeured at her home near Pateville a few daye ago. She leaves a husband and several small children who have the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. B. C. Benton has recently returned from Perry, where he spent several days visiting relat ives. There being few changes in our little town from one week to anoth er, in lieu of the few hastily thrown together dots we are accus tomed to writing, we will briefly outline our trip to Beech Haven. Just after sunrise on Saturday (May 13) the people began to come in from the country and continued to come until it was almost impos sible for the Agent to have tick ets for them. And by train time the streets and around the depot were lived with people, all, “off for Beech Haven.” But to our dismay, j when the train came, the Pine hurst people, ever as anxious ns ourselves, had filled the coaches and we were left to crowd onrselves into what vacant space we could find, with a great many left stand ing in the aisles. At Elko our already very large crowd was in creased by a large delegation from that place and Henderson. After a ride of seven miles we were poured out, rather than put out, and there we found ourselves sur rounded by the beautiful groves that surrounded the place. We then repaired to the^pavilion where for aboat an hour and a half we were entertained by speakers rep resenting the different Sabbath Schools. Speakers were as follows: Elko Baptist Sunday School, Mr. John Keen. Elko Methodist Sunday School, Prof. Pounds- Henderson Sunday School, Prof. Simpson. Unadilla Sunday School, Prof. Coleman. The lecturers applied their re marks to the Sunday School cause in a general sense and met with general approval and considerable applause. After the speaking the crowd was turned “wild loose” and every one left to bis own amusement and to that of his friends. At about 12 ;30 dinner was Jannounced and suffice it to say, in honor of ladies who furnished the di that there were taken up at “twelve basketsfull.” After dinner, strolling, tallj and walking was m order and and every one seemed to enjoy it to their hearts content. But, as all sweets have their bitter, long before the train came all were tired down and anxious to get home. To the young people there was an opportunity of racing and chasing each other over hills and around the park generally. To the young men and young ladies there were inviting seats, shady retreats, and pleasant walks, and to the more aged ones there were opportunities for sweet converse and the intermingling of ideas and expressions with friends, ever cal culated to lighten the burdens of life and make pleasant the fleeting moments. Although some got very tired and worried, none could complain of not having at least some pleas ure. At about 6:30 p. ib. we bade adieu to Beech Haven and her sweet shades and hied away, each one to their respective home, feel ing thankful to the Divine Creator for the dispensation of his provi dence to our mutual pleasure bene fit and comfort. • Amico.
