date named.
—The Home Journal. editor
and his family ate roasting ear
corn at dinner la^t Tuesday. The
corn was gathered from their gar
den in Perry that morning, and
is the first we have heard of this
season. It’s sizepwas not large
• enough to brag about, 1 but was
good enough for anybody. Since,
we iearn that Tax Receiver Thom-
son of Hattie had roasting ears at
dinner, last Sunday.
Five School Picnics.
Information reaches us to the
effect that there were five school
picnics in Houston county last
week, three on Friday and two on
Saturday.
At Bonaire there were school
exercises, morning and afternoon,
embracing about four hours alto
gether. The program was well
arranged and pleasinly executed.
Between 11 and 1 the people were
entertained with addresses by
Commissioner Geo. W. Smith and
Rev. Albert S. Dix. Prof Smith
tells us that. his talk was chieflj
introductory, and that Mr. Dix
delivered an educational address
that was full of instruction attrac
tively presented. The dinner was
reported to be beyond compari
son, plentiful and good, with bar
becued pork and fried fish in
abundance.
At Pleasant Hill church the
Wellstou school enjoyed their
picnic, witn a number of friends
joining', Of this we have no re
port, though we kuow from expe
rience that the occasion was pleas
ant throughout, and the dinner
good enough for anybody and
plentiful.
In the grove surrounding Hous
ton Factory Baptist church about
85 people of Hattie and vicinity,
mostly young people, assembled
to enjoy their annual outing. It
was intended that this should be
the Hattie school picnic, bub very
few children attended, while Mr.
and Mrs. 0. W. Mathews were
the. only chaperones. The young
folks made the lemonade, while a
large quantity of fresh fish were
prepared and cooked. The din
ner waB placed upon cloths spread
on the ground, and around this
the picuioers sat. No more sat
isfaotory dinner was ever enjoyed.
In departing for home later in
the afternobn, all expressed cor
dial thanks to Mr. Emmett Wood
ard, manager of the Dennard
store, for the kind and servicea
ble courtesies extended the pic
dickers.
Saturday the teaohers, pupils
and patrons of the Union Acade
my enjoyed their annual picnic in
the grove surrounding the school
house. We regret the abscenoe of
a specific report, but we know the
oooasion, including the splendid
dinner, was all that could have
been desired.
Several hundred people assem
hied Saturday morning in the
Lake View grove, to help the chil
dren of that school enjoy their
annual pionio. ■ Other than the
excellent address on education by
Rey; t Albert S. Dix of Perry,
there was no speoific exeroises.
From middle morning to late af
ternoon there was an abundance
of cold lemonade, and pleasure
controlled every moment of time.
The dinner completely filled a
very long table, and after the di
vine benediction had been invok
ed by Rev. J. W. Simmons, sev
eral hundred people were also
filled by that dinner. In all res
pects it was unsurpassable, equal-
ed only by the clever and cordial
hospitality of the good people
who provided it.

Adjourned Term Adjourned.
The shortest Superior court ev
er held in Houston was the ad
journed term this week. The term
began at 9 o’clock Monday morn
ing and concluded before 6 p. m.
One oase was tried. John Glov
er was udder indictment for mur
der, for killing his wife last win
ter, on the farm of Mr. H. S. Fea-
gin, near Wellston. He contended
that his wife was attempting to
take from him a Winchester rifle,
she having hold of the muzzle
end, when the weapon was acci
dentally discharged, death result
ing from the wound. The verdict
of the: j ury was ‘ ‘not guil ty. ’ ’
There were nine Other cases, but
all the defendants were under
bond. Five of these cases were
transferred to the County court,
the others continued, and court
adjourned to the regular pctober
term.
Judge Felton rightly concluded
that the time was worth much
more to the jurors at home, most
of them. being farmers, than to
the county, as. no public interest
would" be jeopardizedy and he de
cided it would, be' best to'adjourn
the adjourned term.

Crystal Wedding Anniversary.
From 8 to 11 o’clock last Fri
day evening Mr. W. J. Moore and
wife received and entertained
about fifty invited guests, mostly
married couples, the occasion be
ing the fifteenth anniversary of
their marriage,—their crystal
wedding.
The parlors, hall and dining
room were tastefully decorated
in keeping with the occasion.
While the guests were arriving
the bride and groom stood just
within a parlor door, and receiv
ed greetings and congratulations,
evidently as happy and gracious
as wheu fifteen years before they
had pledged their solemn troth
each to other.
'In this same parlor were numer
ous evidences of the popularity of
the happy couple, beautiful, use
ful and costly presents, mostly
cut glass.
In the other parlor was a large
_ ass punch bowl, from which
several pretty girls dispensed deli-
oioqs fruit nectar.
Later, in the dining room, the
wedding repast was served by sev
eral graceful and attractive girls
and maidens.
Every feature of the occasion
gave pleasure to the eye and
mind, and gracious hospitality
heightened the pleasure of the
guests.
Departing, wishes of many hap
py returns were cordially extend
ed the bride and groom, who have
lost no charm of their personality
since the two became one in name
and purpose.
—Under auspices of the ladies,
there was a most enjoyable ice
cream festival at the armory last
Monday afternoon and night. Ice
oream and cake was served by
several young ladies The .entire
supply of refreshments was ex
hausted, and about $20 was real
ized for benefit of the Perry
Methodist church.
