Mistake Cur- rect*4—Kobln*’ Appointment*—Color of HU County Committee. 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.

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.” ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.
