SUNDAY SCHOOLS WILL PICNIC
AT GOGGANS.
The Sunday schools of the city
will meet with the Forsyth Sun
day schools at Goggans Friday in
a joint picnic. Arrangements have
been made for tho Thomaston
'•.rain to take the crowds down
from here at about 9:80 in the
morning and return about 5:80 p.
m. A rate of 15 cente for the
trip has been secured and all the
Sunday school scholars and church
members of the city are invited to
attend. Refreshments will be
provided by the Sunday schools
and it is expected that everybody
will enjoy themselves. Goggans
has been the scene of the picnics
several times before and proved
an excellent place for a thing of
this kind.
WILL SPEND A WEEK
FISHING ON SATILLA RIVER.
A party of gentlemn from this
city will leave in a special car
next Monday for SatilJa river
where they will spend several
days on a fishing frolic. It was
the custom for a number of years
for a party from Rarnesville to go
to this place to spend a short
while enjoying themselves but for
the last season or so this custom
has fallen into disuse. The matter
has been taken up again and a par
ty formed which will leave nex
Monday. The gentlemen who will
go are ail lovers of the sport and
a companionable set of fellows
who will have a great time and
the people here will expect great
things of them. They must come
back full handed, or we will all
be disappointed. They carry with
with them the best wishes for a
pleasant trip.
It’s a fortunate thing for the
public when a bucket shop kicks
the bucket.
