The G. E. H. E. picnicers had
their annual outing at Norwood
Springs on the 4th_inst.
As the pleasure party lived 10
and 15 miles distant, they didn’t
begin to arrive until 10 o’clock,
but at 10:30 all were there and
had drank of the appetizing water.
It was indeed a rare and bright
assembly, speaking alone of the
joyinsness of life, without
thought of sorrow. Some sitting
around the springs, others* ii
pairs, promenaded the labarynth
ine walks; others still reclined at
their ease within the shadowy re
cesses of some sylvan and fantas
tic bower.
At length the sonorous voice of
Jack was heard calling all to din
ner. None were slow to accept the
invitation, as the appetite of all
was immense. Benches were car
ried up, and at 1 o’clock all were
sitting around such a dinner as
could hardly-be surpassed. Chick
en, ham, coquets, pickles, salads
of almost every kind* crackers,
biscuit and other kinds of bread
Then came the cakes, custards
and “tulips^’ to tempt the pal
ate, in magnificent profusion.
The blessing being asked, all
knew what next to do.
After the appetites of all were
satisfied, and the remains of the
dinner put away, they soon as
sembled at the spring. Some be
gan to play games that they had
played when quite young, while
“others” who thought that they
couldn’t spare the time, made
their retreat to a buggy. The
time paseed away all too swiftly.
At 5 o’clock all were enroute
for home, vowing that there had
never been a pleasanter day.
On leaving the springs some
transfers of the occupants of the
buggies were made, which were
returned at Cater’s mill.
Those present were: Mrs. J. H.
Wimberly and her two lovely chil
dren, Perry and Zeph; Misses
ggie Barfield, Florence Bar-
fied, Laura Kate Pate, Mary
Brown, Maggie Marr; Messrs. Roy
Speight, Feltz Irby, Jack Hodge,
Eugene Houser, Eugene Brown,
Rob’t. Gilbert. Mrs. J. H. Wim
berly was chaperon.
The date for the next picnic
was not decided upon, but will be
some time later.
