LOCAL ,NEWS,
at the Factory.
On last Thursday morning a
party of young people left town
for a day out at the Houston Fac
tory. The party was chaperoned
by Mr. and Mrs. Irby of Union
Springs, Alabama, MrB. Miller,
Mrs. Wellons, and Mrs. Smoak of
Perry. To the young people the
ride out there in wagons was
quite enjoyable and a great deal
of fun followed.
The morning was spent iu vari
ous ways of amusement, and iced
water and watermelons were serv
ed tit intervals during *the day.
Though the morning was being
spent so pleasantly none, I think,
w-ere sorry to hear dinner announ
ced, for every one knows what a
Houston county picnic dinner is.
The mosfr'fastidious epicure would
have reveled in the 'menu spread
out before us,, for the tables liter
ally groaned under the weight of
good things. It was certainly ap
preciated and done justice to by
those present, but the abundance
that was left made one wish for
his friends to help him enjoy it.'
In the afternoon all enjoyed
themselves socially, many who
could not spend the whole day
came out in the afternoon, and
the time-was passed pleasantly to
all.
The homeward trip lost none
of the charms of the day, for fun
again swayed its scepter over us,
and a gentle zephyrs of a sum
mer’s evening cooled our heated
cheeks. There was a. stream of
girls and boys, youth and beauty,
smiles and jokes, two wagons and
a few buggies long. Amidst jubi
lant songs, we reached our homes
to sleep and dream of one of the
happiest,days of our lives.
An Attendant.
A Moonlight PiGnic.
And they laughed by the.light
of the moon.
Perhaps there was ample cause
for laughter, as they appeared to
be in a most happy mood,
On,the lawn in front of the res
idence of Mr. J. R. Miller last
Tuesday night a large number of
Perry people and several visitors
assembled.
Pleasure reigned [supreme from
8:15 to 12, music, games, eto.,
leuding zest to the informaLenioy-
ment. ,
Nobody in particular was boss
or leader, but all followed the
bent of their inclination.
It was a regular-moonlight pic
nic, and in regular picnic style it
was enjoyed.
At about 10 o’clock light re
freshments were served as prepar
ed, in regular picnic fashion.
Whether supper or lunch, it mat
ters not, but that it was good
goes without saying, and the way
those happy people attacked the
viands was a caution to dyspep
tics.
A success it was altogether,
barring the one fact that, the
grass on the lawn was quite wet
With dew.
With laughter it began and
with laughter it ended..
—Ten days ago we heard good
farmers say their corn crop had
been cut off one-half by the
drouth, and that- their cotton
wasn’t much better. About the
same time we heard other farmers
say their cotton crops • were never
better, though they feared the
corn would be damaged. This
week farmers say they have rain
enough, and the prospect is good
for corn and cotton. The testi
mony does not cover the • entire
county, but we dare say a good
corn crop is assured ' where the
preparation and cultivation has
been thorough. The cotton is al
so good where like conditions
have prevailed. We. have not
heard mnch of the auxiliary crops

Damage by Wind and Hail.
A storm of wind and hail visit
ed the farms of Messrs. Wiley E.
Green and Robert L. Vinson,
north of Fort Valley, last Sun
day. Of the damage done,, a Tel
egraph correspondent says:
“The packing house, on Mr.
Green’s plantation Was badly
racked and his commodious pub
lic ginnery and several negro cab
ins blown down and completely
ruined. Fortuuately the occu
pants of the houses escaped seri
ous injury. .
At the home of Mr. Vinson
the hail fell with such terrific
force as to break every pane of
glass on the windward side of the
house, and completely, stripped a
large field of cotton of all fruit
and foliage. A nearby peach or
chard was also badly damaged.”

-A wagon load of Perry young
people and more, chaperoned by
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Irbj of Union
Springs,' Ala., enjoyed a picnic at
Houston Factory last Friday.
We are told they had fun “to beat
the hand,” and that the dinner
was “clear out o’ sight.” The
weather was almost smoking hot,
and they say “collars and such”
were in a state- of abject collapse
before the outing was half done.

—If more business • attention
was devoted to cows and chickens'
in Houston., the profits would be
greater. We are satisfied an ex
tensive farm, devoted exclusively
to cattle and poultry would yield
a fortune to its owner within a
few years/ There is much land
in the county peculiarly adapted
to such a purpose, and a stock
company for such a business
could be readily formed'.
