Though fodder is ready for pull
ing, most farmers have found it nec
essary to do more plowing in their
cotton, the late rains having brought
up another crop of grass.
The corn crop* in this section is
tolerably good—the best, probably,
in two years, and peas promise a
good yield.
Cotton does not look so promis
ing; it is still dying with blackroot,
and there is considerable rust, also.

The city council of. Atlanta has
demanded the resignation of Mayor
Woodard, because of reported drunk-
hurrying on our.way to the park.
The drive was indeed a pleasant
one; along the roadside were fields
of green, luxuriant cotton, waving
com and luscious watermelons,
which “made our mpuths water.”
At 11 o’clock we arrived at the
park gate, and as we took a good
look down the shady drive we felt
like exclaiming, Beech Haven! Eden!
names synonymous. We first visit
ed the spring, sipped of its bubbling,
ice-cold water, cooled our burning
faces and hands, then walked to the
lovely pavilion, and under its great
shadows indulged in many delight
ful recreations.
The music was so enchanting we
could not refrain from playing
“twistification,” but we were made
of better material than to dance, af
ter our chaperon _so positively, for
bade it, and there were only two or
three there who could dance, and
they were simply visitors.
Dinner was announced at 1:30
o’clock, and not too soon, either, for
our appetites were well whetted af
ter the long ride and violent exer
cise, so we were not like the timid
young lady who once said: “I could
dine heartily on a wing of a dove.”
The dinner was superb, both in
quality and quantity, and we all did
justice to it, then fed all the drivers,
musicians, several beggars and had
some left.
We did not feel like getting about
so nimbly as we did before dinner;
some were tired and sought the cot
tage embowered neath a canopy of
the Beechwood trees, which was a
typical “rest for the weary;” others
strolled about the beautiful, shady
walks, sat in swings and indulged
in tete-a-tete conversations until
again aroused by the melodious
music of -the violin, when our feet
would “twinkle” a little on the pa
vilion floor; but our prince of gal
lantry, Mr. Rob. Holtzclaw, won the
white ribbon for Chesterfield grace
fulness as he knelt in humble adora
tion at the feet of Miss Fannie
Afoorepwhich caused no little mer
riment for the merry go-rounds on
the waxed floor. As others came so
near measuring their length at the
feet of fair ladies, Rob felt quite
equal to the task of parrying sword
thrusts with them; he was a little
less fortunate in point of position
and not in acting. *
It was 5 o’clock when our chap
eron called us to make preparations
for our departure. Like obedient
“children,” we soon had everything
in readiness and were wending our
way homeward, leaving Beech Ha
ven with reluctance and declaring it
the most delightful day ever spent
there.
We arrived at home at about 8
o’clock, having had nathihg to mar
the pleasiu’e of the day, but every
thing to contribute to an ideal pic
nic in an ideal park.
Our chaperon wishes us to say
that she has never had the pleasure
of chaperoning such a nice party of
gentlemen and ladies before, and if
it did not take up so much space she
would like to have us mention each
one individually. She asks us to
make special mention of the nice
little couple who were in a buggy
just in front of her wagon (they say
they are cousins), for their thought
fulness of her, contributing so much
to. her pleasure and comfort all day.
We will close by saying, Three
cheers for Beech Haven!

difference between him and Byron’s
Gunn is we knew where to find him
and had him in the game.
As to the games promised Byron
on her own grounds T will say this:
After the first game in Henderson I
was informed the Byron boys were
preparing to leave without playing
the morning game. I asked the cap
tain to stay and finish the engage
ment; as our people had prepared to
entertain them. They then asked
me to play two games on their
grounds, and I readily assented.
But in the next game many thmgs
developed that has caused my club
to decline to meet Byron again. In
the first place, it was demonstrated
beyond any question that they are
not in our class as ball players, and
the public will understand this when
it is known that we knocked out 13
runs in one inning., “Byron Boy”
says he is satisfied they can beat us.
■Well, they didn’t, and that settled
it. With this we are done with the
subject, as we know the public don’t
care a “bobbean”for the “ifs, &c.”
✓ I will take my team to Hawkins

give you some interesting news in
