It is an ex cellent forage plant and grows luxuriantly when sown on top of Bermuda sod in September or Oc tober, 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. The Adjourned Term. Sheriff Cooper and Clerk Wood ard have issued the summons and subpoenas, and in every way are ready for the adjourned tefcm of Houston Superior court, which will be called to order at 9 o’clook next Monday morning. Jurors, witnesses and others connected with the cases to be tried Jmust be at the court house at least by 9 o’clock. The case to b& first called for trial is that of John Glover, the 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 for fiiurder, arson, assault with intent to murder, larceny from the house, stealing a bale of cot on, selling liquor, bastardy, and two for stabbing. It is likely that the trial of these cases will consume about three days, or at least two and a part of the third. L. M. Paul’s. l! x\I. Paul’s. Big assortment at prices that strike you right.
