By 9 o’clock a. m. the people began arriving, young and older, ancl before ten o’clock several hundred people were enjoying themselves. There were no school exercises, though there was a program. About 11 o’clock Col. C. M. Dupree of Byron mounted a wag on, and introduced Mr. Walter J. Grace of Macon, who had been invited to deliver an address on tho subject of education. The speech was decidedly good. Then dinner was announced, with the futlier annoucemeut Shut there would bo more speak ing in the afternoon. The dinner was characteristic of Houston county people on such occasions, just the best imagina ble, and as bountiful as it was good, The *“sauce” was the de lioious hospitality of the people providing the dinner, and the en joyment thereof was complete.

The hospitality and manage mept of the picnic promoters were without a flaw, and there was v no incident to marr the pleasure of the occasion. May there be many more such outings. -*>■••««- —As has been usual every year at this season, the merchants of Perry have agreed to close their stores at six o’clock every after noon, Saturdays excepted, from May 15th to the 15th of August.

The Sunday School people of Elko, Grovania and Hayneville enjoyed their annual picnic at Beech Haven last Thursday. From Elko and Grovania the means of transportation was by rail on the G. S. & F. road, and the pleasure seekers reached the park at-about 10 o’clock a m. Later a number from Hayneville, Perry and intermediate country arrived by private conveyance, swelling the crowd, the total be ing between 200 and 300. There were people of all ages, the children probably predomina ting-, At once the lembnade stand was put in working order, the chil dren began their games, the se nior young people congregated in couples, and the older people in dulged in discussions of crop pros pects, home affairs and politics. Clouds threatened rain about the time preparations for dinner began, and the tables were carried into the pavilian. The rain came, but no damage resulted, and one cf the best dinners any people ev er saw on a similar occasion was served. Rev. J, W. Simmons, pastor of the Perry Methodist church in voked the divine blessing, and then the people satisfied their ap petites, though scarcely more than half the viands placed before them were eaten. The rain continued throughout the afternoon, and though the out door pleasures of the park could not be enjoyed, the children were as frolicsomo as if there had been no disappointment, and good humor and pleasant converse roll ed the occasion. Despite the rain, the picnic was a success, but that goes without saying, as with the good and clev er people there assembled pleasant humor and cordial hospitality are ever controlling factors, The Vote in 1900.
