SILVEY SNOW FLAKES.
Silvey, Ga., May s.—Tho annual
picnic at the Shoals Friday was not as
largely attended this year as hereto
fore. It has become uup!easamf®to
ladies and sober gentlemen, owing to so
much shooting carried on by the less
respectful class who go for no other
purpose than to fill themselves ou “blue
john,” which is an eyesore to the manly
man as well as heart-breaking to
mothers and sisters. There had been
notices posted on •■ne grounds and on
the bridge notifying tins class of people
that if any such carrying-on was had
the parties would be presented to the
grand jury, which only seemed to en
rage their evil ambition and they went
about tearing down the notices and
shooting at them, which was very dan
gerous. “Whomsoever diggeth a pit
shall fall therein.”
Paul Harris and lovely bride, of
Farmdale, attended the picnic and were
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. L,
Barfield.
The farmers are farther behind than
they have been in years. L. B. Mann
on his twenty or twenty-five horse
farinhtsn’t done but twenty-three
days plowing. Only a few in this sec
tion will get done planting this week.
It rained eleven Saturdays and Sun
days in succession.
John Chambliss, of Stinson, after
taking in the picnic, spent the night
with his old friend, S. J. Brown.
Mrs. Martha Ann Willis O’Neal, of
Barnesville, is on a visit to her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. O’Neal.

discourse of old Aunt Caroline Sprag
gings, the church went into conference

We notice trom the Greeneville Vin
dicator that the Masons and Odd Fel
lows with the City Library Association
have held a meeting and have taken
steps to build » city hall, the library on
the first floor and Masons and Odd
Fellows on the second floor. But what
stunted us was that it was to be built
of wood, which we think is a reflec
tion on a town with as much wealth as
Greeneville and with a $30,000 court
house. We think it would be wise if
the officials of both county and . town
should take steps and not allow it to be
built anywhere on the public square.
