Mr. Editor: —Saturday June
27th was a gaily day, long to re
main fixed in the memory of the
people of Sand Mountain For
some time it had been the desire
of the people at Shiloh to combine
and give a basket picnic, at which
an elaborate programe of speeches
and music could be carried out,
hence a project of this nature could
be executed with the utmost con
sistency. Ear’y in the day the
roads was thronged with every form
of conveyance filled with the sons
of toil and their families, there
never was a grander or larger
crowd ever witnessed here. There'
were fully fifty teams, mostly be
longing to the cow tribe. It is a
fact worthy of comment and re
marked by many, there was not a
single drunk man in the mammoth
gathering. The scene of the pic
nic was at Shiloh grove where the
people arrived at 10 o’clock. Alter
establishing themselves, the order
of exercises was entered upon. The
speech of Thomas Payne, Sr., to
the Sunday school children was el
oquent and most highly apprecia-
ted. After a song by Shiloh sing
ing class, baskets were uncovered
and an hour devoted in disposing
of the immense quantity of eata
bles on the ground which imbued
the average hungry man with feel
ings of satisfaction. After dinner
pieces spoken by several t unday
school scholars were excellent, es
pecially the oration by Mrs. Win.
Loch when exhibiting the last
gift from her mother, (a large Bi
ble,) two days before she died.
Our exhibition was well repre
j seated from the valley except our
prosperous little neighbor town of
Trenton, you should have Come
and took an example. Exhibition
closed with a song by Shiloh sing
i ing class, “God be with you till we
i meet again.” Pedko,

Do tear ! he starry bann r down
A ml (ling it with a crash,
who tliiuks the dag is anything
Huor Bennie wears a sash?
Bennie in his younger days.
Has cut no alarming dash;
Bui now in one Hercu iau rush
Blooms but into a sash.
Bennie’s manners here-to fore
Have never been calle f nun,
But where is his record now
Since he supports a sasli.
He is not so proud as McKinley
Nor is he likely to make a mash,
Yet there is no equatorial bel
To ma cli oui Bennies a-h.
Flijah’s ina tie which of old
Was translated in ajjlash;
Was not to be compared at all
With little Bennies A-ash.
Go tear the sta rv banner down
Ami fling it with a crash;
who thinks the flag is anything
Since Bennie wears a sash.
From Rising Fawn.
Mr. Editor:— l am delighted
that you and the. Evening News
have discovered that each were
right and both “acknowledged the
c< rn.” I’ve been considerably
worried over the prospect of our
two best papers hollering “scis
sors.” Next to the State of Dade
we are unanimously for the News,
because it comes daily with both
feet up and “peace and good will”
on the soles. It has set an exam
ple of brotherly love which seems
so foreign to modern Journalism
that its refreshing and worthy of
emulation. Yes, the News is a
success; for, with its Georgia grit
and Tennessee backing it can’t
fail.
But Mr. Editor, if you are tired
of my crude manner of putting
things, the next time you come up
to quote Blaeksfone to Squire Can
trell just take me out behind the
postoffice and tell me to stop, for
if that taffy in your fiddle de
wink column was intended to draw
me out on evolution, then shut me
off for “want of space,” It will
prove a failure for two reasons;
first, because I don’t know any
thing about evolution, nor do I
believe that anybody else does,
nextly I’m too tickled at seeing
my name in print to be caught
that way.
On my way to the furnace I
overtook our venerable friend Geo.
Hibbs, 75 years either way puts no
change on George, and he has done
more hard work this year, (as the
condition of his corn crop will at-
tes!) than in any two years since
he used to raise corn in all that
field between Cameron Hill and
Fort Wood. Though Cameron
Hill wasn’t there then. Ihe
reason its called Indian corn all
over the world to-day is that
George first raised it on Market St.,
and gave it to the Indians. He
owned all that land in there then,
but, when the Great Spirit pulled ,
the mountain in two to let the |
river througn which he intended to
make, and did make, Georges deed
became misplaced and as land was
cheap and the Indians were going
away in forty or fifty years, l.e
didn’t think it worth looking after
and so through negligence lost a
farm which is really worth more
to-day than it was then.
I learned with regret that Will
Hamilton is going to move to Chat
tanooga again where he has ac
cepted the position of engineer of
the Chattanooga Furnace switch
engine. Will is active, intelligent
and accommodating, which are all
the elements essential to a first
class railroad man. But Billy, be
sure and rent a house with canoe
attachments, because there is no
surer indications of a freshet next
spring than your moving into the
stb ward.
Will’s place will be very ably
filled by our young friend, Duke
Brock. If Duke couples cars like
he dances his work will always be
up. Count your fingers every night
Duke to be sure you have them all.
Want of space prevents mv giv
ing many things I saw over there
but I will bye and bye. U. U.
