GRAND PlO-NiC AT GRA Y.
[From the Jasper County News,
On last Friday morning, Maj. J.
If Key, Mr and Mrs. T. R. Penn,
188 Master Henry, Miss
' att,e > res.of the Penn s,
Misses Annie Lee Greer, Lillie Har
v y, Buhie Jordan, Maggie Chiles.
In le Roberta. Sadie Ilecht and
Agnes Webb, took the train for
Gray station to attend the pic-rue.
At Adg.ite, Col. Adgate and his
lovely little neice joined the already
happy company, hut of course our
happiness was increased by their
presence. At Round Oak, Mrs.
Robt. Smith, Miss Ada Goolsby and
.Miss Shropshire, Mr. Henry Hunt
and others joined the band, and
greatly enhanced the beauty, pleas
ure and wealth of the already pros
perous party. The train arrived at
Gray exactly on time. Our party
was greeted with a perfect shower of
welcomes by the large and go"d
looking company of picniccrs that
had gathered m the beautiful grove
surrounding the summer residence
of Col. Blount. While chatting for
an honr or so, while the children
were playing all kinds of innocent
plays, there seemed to be a number
0 j penjona ■very busily engager] in
another quarter. The question was
often asked, what arc they doing, but
no one seemed to know. At about
twelve however, the lung desired in
formation was obtained It consis
u ^ ‘ n a " manner of goodies Irmnthc
nicest biscuit to the largest barbe-.
cued mutton, and cakes and pies and
lemonade and ice cream, and lastly,
but not least, first class Jones county
buttermilk just taken off of ice, from
the dairy farm of oar friend, Mr.
Glides. The reader may imagine
what happened. I tell you the in
formation was entirely demolished
in less than fifteen minutes. The
writer is happy to say that in all the
wreck, no lives were lost save sheep,
pigs, chickens & co. There was one
thing very patent to all when the
racket was over, namely, that our
long friend from Montieello and the
one from Grassfield were very much
improved in ap|iearance and a great
deal more cheerful, in fact, the
happiest two on the ground except
our short friend from Montieello,who
of course claims the right to be hap
pier than anybody.
After dinner .
' the geuial Gol. Bob
Hardeman called the crowd togeth
er, after which the invincible J. C.
Key was introduced “as the Key to
the situation” and he entertained
the crowd with one of his unique and
instructive addresses. This man is
always found contributing to the
happiness of others. He is one of
the bravest, gentlest and truest of
Christian gentlemen. Time would
fail us to mention all the pleasing
persons and incidents of the day.
However, we will say that Col. Bob
Hardeman and wife are the happiest
couple in the world. Col. Ike Har
deman of Macon. Mr. Chiles and
his excellent wife, Judge Ross and
our good brother Holsenbeck and
many other excellent ladies and
gentlemen did all in their power to
make everybody happy, and succeed
ed. The most of our party left on
the evening train for home, while
others so infatuated with Jones and
its people, staid over and spent the
night in the historic Clinton, where
they attended divine service.
Respectfully,
Penholdkr.
