Boy Champion, Arthur Lake and Norman Rusli were the guests of Jesse Gaff Sunday. The prayer meeting at Dan Hor¬ ton’s Sunday evening was largely attended by Wolf Pit folks. We see that Fred Dunbar has made a new mash over the way, so he h«s given up going north for a while. We wonder if Jesse Gaff took that girl home he intended to the other night. Come, Jesse, and tell us about it. Mr. Horton has put up an addition to his house, lately. So you see the improvements still are on the move in these parts.' There was a cottage prayer-meeting held at Mr. Lukes, north of Wolf Pit, Thursday night, the services being conducted by the Rev. McGregor. Some of the Old Field boys came over Saturday to play ball with the boys here. Come again, boys, when there is no pitchers on the string.

Everything passed off quietly and all present enjoyed themselves. There are some things that usually happens on such occasions that did not play their part. This time there was no crickets to get in the pickles or grasshoppers in the butter and the like, but the mosquitos were pretty troublesome to Mrs. Kettle and Mrs. Tollman. But all in all it was a pleasant time and greatly enjoyed by those present. PICNIC NOTES. The fishing was good but the catch¬ ing poor. The magnolia blooms were away-up and nearly out of sight. The Judge looked lonely. Why ? Because Delia was’nt there. “ Shorty” treed some fine fish in the forenoon, and after dinner several of the picknicers went out to catch them but forgot to take an ax to cut the tree.
