TIFTON, BERRIEN COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1892.
SUNDAY-SCHOOL PICNICS.
FRIDAY AT ALAPAHA AND SATUR
DAY AT ENIGMA.

Alapaha enjoyed a Snnday-sohool
picnic last Friday. The editor in
tended to have been present and par
ticipated in the festivities and good
tilings of the occasion, but lie started
for the train just iu time to get left.
However, we learn that, the occa
sion was a most pleasant one; there
was a large attendance of people, old
mid young, and an abundance of the
most toothsome edibles for the noon
repost.. There was not the slightest
show of-disturbance to mar the quiet
peace and joy of the day’s outing.
Saturday morning we had better
luck; we caught the train and went
down to attend the Enigma Sunday-
school picnic. Oapt Guun, of Wes
ton & Gunn, kindly tendered the
school "and its friends an excursion
to the end of his tram road,.about
Seven miles from Enigma; doubtless
thinking it would aiWmKfry and zest
to the occasion. In/ferns he was not
mistaken. We enjoyed it and think
We can speak for quite all who went
mid say they enjoyed the trip very
much.
The sturt was inode at 8:30 a. m.
mid a half hour’s run brought us to
the picnic ground, where several
hours until dinner was announced
was spent in various ways—singing,
chatting, etc. The dinner was excel
lent and in abundance. Tho pio-
nieers numbered about two hundred
and fifty, and there was provisions
enough on the ground to feed twice
that number.
About three o'clock p. in. the
crowd was called together by stipcr-
iutendeqt I). B. JjoFils when short
speeches were made by the editoy
and Rev. P. H. Grumpier.
Aftcr"'Hte-'Speeclr{‘8 ‘the command
Was given to “all aboard” and soon
the bappy throng was gliding along
homeward.
BRIMS FROM OUR NOTH BOOK. -
There is some excellent vocalists
at Enigma and they rendered
sweet music at the pieniu.
Mr. J. 13. Gunn is one of nature's
noblemen: if lie can’t entertain
crowd no ope need try, aud lie does
it in the quietest kind of u way.
It is said that courting people nev
er lose an opportunity to speak a
good word for themselves. They
did nobly on Saturday and it made
us feel like courting a little ourself.
Die picniccrs were safely landed
jiuck at Enigma at 4 o’clock p. in.,
syhen the young men engaged in a
game of base ball. We learn tliai
Mr. Gunn gives the young men it.
his gmploy an opportunity for recre
ation every Saturday afternoon,
when business is not rushing, and if
they play hail he goes out and enjoys
it with tl)ein. The idea is a good
one and doubtless prevents many a
violation of the Sabbath day. Men
need (Aid will have recreation, uud if
they don’t have an opportunity in
the week time Sunday is invariably
drawn, upon. Such is the most
J ilsutible excuse given for the Sun-
lay excursion.
An Error Corrected.
We are in receipt of two letters
calling bur attention to un error in
tile report of the officers of the Iter-
rie,ii county Sunday school Associa
tion and asking a correction thereof.
Our young friend, Mr. J. E. Peeples,
mode up the roll of officers from
memory and hence the error of sub
stituting the name of Mr. O. I.
Jones for that, of Mr. G. H. Good,
inan on the executive committee,
There was no intention of doing any
one an injustice.

A circular, of which the above is
a true copy, is being quietly circula
ted in the country districts of this
and adjoining comities. It was by
accident that we saw the .original
from which we made our copy, and
it is evident very few of them find
lodgment among townspeople.
This is a free country and people's
party candidates and advocates have
a right to speak wherever they may
see (it, and are guaranteed a respect
ful hearing by all who attend their
meetings. This is right.
Let. all democrats go and hear Mr.
Robins; give yourself an opportuni
ty to know what this new party is
and proposes to do; then, take tin
information you get home with you
and look at it in the light of reason
and if you ever hud any thought of
going off with the people’s purtyites
it will lie effectually dispelled.
The Gazette is not afraid to ad
vise democrats to go and hear
party advocates because it only
makes them stronger democrats; be
cause' “error ceases to be dangerous
when truth is left to combat it.”

While laboring under temporary ab

of ladies and gentlemen were induced
to give up their jewelry—watches,
rings, pins, etc., for the purpose of
raising money to build a holiness

report Unit has gone abroad. We
believe in religion and believe it the
duty of every matt and woman who

Nearly eight years ago, in 1884,
one of the most terrific cyclones Geor
gia has ever known started in I In

and passed through tlie counties of
Worth and Irwin to the Alapaha
river, where it disappeared. Its track
was ffom a mile to a mile

size wits felled to Hie earth. The
object of this reference to tlie cyclone
is to call the attention of the readers
