take wi in picnic
Thomasville’s picnic was, to j
say the least of it, just simply!
immense. Nearly everybody |
was there, both from the coun j
try and the different towns j
along the Atlantic Coast Line j
and the A. & B. Cairo con-!
tributed her quota, there being I
something like two hnndred
and fifty tickets sold at this
point. With the large number
of the farming population in at
tendance there must been more
people in the city than for the
past several years, running the
number of people in attendance
up into the thousands, The
best feature of’ the day’s per
formance being that everybody
was well pleased and spoke in
high praise of the hospitality of
the good people of Thomasville
and the treatment they received
at their hands. We did not
hear of a single instance of dis
satisfaction.
The day’s program was car
ried out to the satisfaction of
all, and everybody went to their
home well pleased with the day
spent at the picnic in the capi
tol city.
Thus another link has been
formed which bind the country
and city together in bonds of
fellowship and hearty good will.
The picnic was a grand suc
cess.
A Stormy Wedding.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 22.—Among
other domage, the East Macon
Methodist church was badly
damaged by lightening, the roof
being almost completely torn
off. Sensational interest was
added by the fact that during
the storm and at the time the
church was struck, Miss Kelly
was being married to Mr. Da
vis. The lights went out and
the ceremony was concluded in
the dark. The rain poured in
through the wrecked roof, and
all of the bride’s wedding finery
was completely ruined. In the
meantime the wind turned the
carriages that were waiting in
front of the building bottom up.
The horses ran away in fright.
Our Farming Area.
The total area used for
farming purposes in the United
States is 841,000,000 acres, an
area larger than England, Scot
land, Ireland, Wales, France,
Germany, Austria, Spain, Japan
and Ti'ansvaal. There are 10,-
438,000 persons engaged in ag
ricultural pursuits, while all
other industries employ but
18,845,000. One-third of the
people are therefore devoted to
farming.
A negro who lives at Doerun,
while passing along the high
way shooting at random barely
missed a young lady, Miss Wil
lie Sloan. The ball from his
pistol passed through the sleeve
o'f her dress but did not strike
her flesh.
Enough men were killed at
Laio Yang to populate a city of
25,000. This is an impressive
way to view it, but it is more
impressive to say that every
head of a family of a city of
150,000 population was wiped
out.
It is to be hoped Gen. Miles
will not reconsider his determi
nation to go on the stump for
Parker and Davis, Gen. Miles
knows a good deal about the
President’s “big stick,” having
had it held o/er his head on
several occasions.
