The glorious old Fourth was indeed
11 £ ala ‘* av in , ’" rt ( ’ ainps * Notwith¬
standing the threatening prospect of
the weather during tin* entire day, and
disappointments, the military
picnic was a success far beyond the
anticipation of many.
Besides many 1‘reni the country im¬
mediately surrounding the town, there
wore a number of visitors from a
greater distance, Cuthbert, Coleman.
Hiufftou, AbbeviU,*, Shorterville and
other neighboring towns being well
represented, and the (iuards, uimni
mously seconded by the citizens gen¬
erally. were untiring in their efforts to
make all feel that they were cordially
welcomed and that it was good to
■‘celebrate.”
The Abbeville band, which, by the
way is a most excellent one, came
over and dispensed some of their
sweetest music, which was very much
appreciated by the crowd,
The guards presented quite a hand*
some appearance as, headed by the
band, they marched up the street
"dressed in their best Sunday clothes”
and keeping 101 step to the lively strains
< >f martial music. The parade and
various execution of military tactics
was well done and attracted interested
attention The breasts of many were
made to swell with pride and patriotic
animation as tm-y contemplated the
possible future of our gallant little
company of the state militia.
I I The hour for dinner having arrived,
! the crowd repaired to the park, where
j spread in the cool shade of the broad
j oaks a most sumptuous dinner awaited
1 them, consisting of an abundance of
> delicious viands and tempting delica
cies, prepared by the hospitable and
ever generous ladies of the town. In
a few good nutured remarks, delivered
in his inimitable style. Col. Turnip
seed gave the command to “charge”
the table, and everybody proceeded to
do bis full duly.
Notwithstanding it had been an¬
nounced that these would be no ball
at night, the pleasures and excitement
of the day only served to stimulate the
i desire for more, and there were many
couples who could not resist the temp¬
tation of such an opportunity. The
services of the-Fort Caines OHiestra
I \\ ( re secured, and after supper there
were about thirty couples assembled
:!t Goleman’s Hall, where they tripped
j “the light fantastic” until “the wee
sina 1 hours of morning.”
It was altogether a most happy day,
and we are requested by the guards to
tender their sincere thanks to the
ladies of the city, the Abbeville band,
the vi itors, and to all who contributed
to the pleasures of the occasion.
