Picnic at Norwood Springs.
About 100 people j men, women
and children, assembled at Nor
wood Springs last Saturday morn
ing to enjoy the annual picnic
of Small Academy and Myrtle
school.
The weather was delightful,
thovgh it had been feared the
ground would have been too wet
on account of the recent heavy
rains.
There was no program of exer
cises, but all were free to find
pleasure as desire indicated* The
teachers of the two schools, Misses
Marie Crawford and Evelyn Pow
ers, instituted games for the
children, while in conversaiion
the other people enjoyed the occa
sion quietly.
There was a plentiful supply of
lemonade, excellently made.
At the proper hour a long table
was covered with a splendid vari
ety of well-prepared food. Rev.
J. W. Simmons invoked the Di-
Vine blessing, and then in true
picnic style a dinner that cannot
be surpassed was thoroughly en
joyed. Not the least enjoyable
featurefof the feast was the genial
hospitality of those who prepared
and served it.
The dinner was furnished by
twelve families, combined, but in
appearance it was as if more than
twice that number had contribu
ted to its abundant excellence.
In the afternoon the younger
ohildren used swings, indulged in
the usual games, while the larger
boys played baseball.
The men talked farming, the
ladies household and social af
fairs, while a few couples talked
ip low tones apart from the
crowd.
In every particular this picunic
was an exceptionally pleasant
neighborhood ontiug, with a few
guests from surrounding locali
ties, including Perry.
May those good people live to
enjoy many more such occasions.
A Festival.
All are fcordially invited to at
tend a festival next Monday even
ing at the armory, given by the
ladies of the Methodist church for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to buy a carpet for their
church.

charge being murder.
There are ten cases on the dock
et for trial,left over from the reg
ular April term.
All are felony cases, and ail the
defendants are negroes except one.
The offenses charged against
the defendants, are, one case each

It is likely that the trial of these
