Probably to place the crowd :
attending the correspondents’
picnic Saturday at 1,000 is a con
servative estimate; and there
is not the lea 4 st doubt that ev
erybody on the grounds spent a
very pleasant day.
A number of extra policemen
were on duty for this occasion,
hut the last thing needed was a
policeman; for a more cheerful
and orderly crowd was never
gathered together in Georgia—
or out of it. In fact, the excel¬
lence of the behavior there was
a subject of general remark.
The program as previously
published in The News was car
ried out, and was pronounced a
most enjoyable one. The music
al features were excellent, and
for this our thanks are due to
Mrs. C. H. Davis, Misses Katie
Keister, Jimmie Cole, Ethel and
Annie Parsons, Malinda Shields.
The address on behalf of the
correspondents was given in
Prof. Giles Dunn’s usual happy
manner, and elicited a most en¬
thusiastic outburst of applause.
The reputation of Hon. Sam P.
Maddox as an orator led us to
expect much from him, and in
no sense did he disappoint us.
Always eloquent and entertain¬

The last number on the pro¬
of the morning was the
presentation of the crosses of

ans by Mines. May McAfee Shu
mate and Ella Lewis Martin, of
the Dalton chapter, Daughters
of the Confederacy. Before the
delivery Mrs. Shumate paid a
glowing tribute not only to the
soldiers, but also to the women
of the Southland for the heroism
shown and the sacrifices borne in
behalf of the cause they loved
and struggled for. She charmed
her auditors; and every tone of
.her tenderly sympathetic voice,
every graceful gesture, told of an
intense love for the old soldier
which none could dispute,
The following received cross¬

After this came dinner, of
which it is hardly necessary to
speak, for all readers of The
News know the kind of a dinner
you get at a Murray county pic

The ball game in the afternoon
between Dalton and Spring

be made an annual affair.

LUCY HILL INSTITUTE
CLOSED FOR SUMMER
From McGregor, Texas.
I will write a few lines to
paper as Murray is my dear
home. I have been away from
four years, but there are
there who are very near and
to me.
We had a fine rain last night
which was needed very much,
although it disappointed so many
who intended going to the union
singing at Harris Creek.
School at this place closed
Tuesday with very
exercises.
Our hustling groceryman,
McEntire, and family visited C.
0. Groves last Sunday.
Crops are looking well now.
The prairies are beautiful
their wild flowers. Rats
mites are living fat on chickens.

Texas don’t know how
ble the mud is, but we have
have rain. This is a
place when there is no mud.
Oats are being harvested
a very good yield.
We have had an unusually
cool spring which has caused
colds and a few cases of
monia, but I don’t think there is
a more healthy place anywhere.
I would so much enjoy being
the picnic,but it is so far and the
roads so muddy and Simon is
crippled, so l suppose I will not
get oil. I will say to the cor
resdondents 1 they hope will en
yoy yourselves greatly. I
all the citizens of Murray county
ought to try to make their county
paper better.

Thursdays Exercises Were
Much Enjoyed
RECITATIONS, TABLEAUX AND
Other Interesting Features Made
Up a Program of
Rare Merit
Lucy Hill Institute closed
Thursday night with what many
declared the most enjoyable ex¬
ercises ever held in this city.
The program was published in
full in our last issue, and its
length precludes a separate men¬
tion of every number. Although
its rendition consumed some four
hours, there was no evidence of
a tired audience, despite the
fact that many were unable to
secure seats.
Where every feature was so
good, it would seem'unjust in us
to attempt to point out the best.
Everything was splendid, the
recitations and dialogues, negro
plays, drills, tableaux and mu¬
sic, all pleased and all were vig¬
orously applauded.

Dr. B. E. Hall lias purchased

Springs will certainly have, un¬

Mrs. Hall, a first-class hotel con¬
ducted on modern lines.

We just wanted to call your
attention to the fact that the
