At the Picuio,
The first picnic of the season oc
cured last Friday at Withers spring
which has been a favorite spot for
such festive occasions from time i
immemorial. The picnic was un
der the auspices of the High school,
and was for the pleasure of the
pupils andjpatrons of the school,
which means that it was for nearly
every body. The forbidding as
pect cf the sky, however, prevented
the large attendance usual upon
such occasions, still there was a
large contingency of people who
were willing to brave the prospect
of catching colds in the damp
woods, and who enjoyed the day
very much in consequence, for it
proved to be fair and bright after
all.
A very amusing feature of the
affairs was what might be termed
a lack of consideration on the part
of the young gallants in attendance
upon the fair present These
young misses are unkind enough to
insinuate that the devotion of the
said gallants was all that could be
asked for until after the lunch
hour had passed. They then de
voted themselves to base ball ex
clusively for the remainder of the
day and left the girls to their own
devices, aud to the conclusion that
the lunch was the chief attraction
afterjall. This is probably unjust,
and in any case it is likely that
the fond parents of these young
people will sanction the baseball
game as being the natural and
proper diversion for their age af
ter all. And those of the girls who
have dolls or anything else toplay
with, might just take them to the
next picnic they go to, as a sort of
precautionary measure.
Mrs A. M. Street, who has re
cently returned from Sandersville
and Atlanta has many interesting
things to relate of the W. C. T. U.
state convention held in Sanders
ville. It was the best convention
in point of attendance held since
’92, there being over fifty delegates
present. And it follows naturally
that it should be an unusually in
teresting meeting. Sandersville is
noted for its warm hospitality, and
the eager interest of the citizens in
the affairs of the convention had
a truly stimulating and pleasant
effect upon that body, the mem
bers of which will long remember
the delightful attentions shown
them collectively and individually.
One of the features of the meet
ing worthy of note was the large
number of white haired old la
dies present. It was beautiful to
observe the energy and devotion of
these women who readily and easi
ly undertake journeys- and perform
duties that might tax a younger
women. Mrs. Street herself was
the youngest matron in the con
vention. She was re-elected pres
ident of the seventh district and
was additionally honored by being
appointed as a delegate from Geor
gia to the National W. C. T. U.
convention to be held in Buffalo,
N. Y. in October. Mrs. Jennie
Hart Sibley, of Union Point, is the
other Georgia representative
This recognition of Mrs. Street is
a compliment justly bestowed, and
■ is well deserved by her.
Commencement occurs at the
| Southern Female University at
i Anniston, Ala., next week and two
bright Summerville girls are among
the ranks of the graduates there
this year. They are Misses Annie
Pitts and Battie Bolling, both of
whom have attained a fine stand
ing in the college classes, due to
their natural ability and thorough
and conscientious work. In addi
tion to the regular course of studies,
Miss Pitts has been taking music
and elocution, and has evinced de
cided talent for the latter, having
won second honor in a competitive
contest among the elocution pupils.
Miss Bolling has been made vale
dictorian of the Senior class which
is quite an honor, and readily indi
cates her high standing in the class.
Miss Josephine Pitts will go to An
niston next week to be present at
the commencement exercises.
Another sweet girl graduate is Miss
Minnie Cleghorn, who has been a stu
dent at Wesleyan college, Macon, for
two years past. Being possessed of
Scrofula Sores
Health Was Greatly Impaired, But
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Built It Up-
Sores Have All Disappeared.
“I was troubled with eruptions Oh my
face, which appeared like scrofula. My
health was bo much impaired that I was
advised to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
build me up, and I bought six bottles.
Before I had taken half of this amount I
found that I was improving. I could rest
better at night, and felt refreshed in the
morning. I gained in flesh and when I
had finished the six bottles the sores on
my face had all disappeared.” J. B. Bod
die, Postmaster, Nashville, No. Carolina.
“ After suffering from a sore leg for 25
years, four bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure. It is several years
since I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, but I
have not suffered with any sore or erysip
elas in that time.” Mrs. M. J. Hartley,
Lovett, Georgia. Remember
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is the Best —the One True Blood Purifier. Be
sure to get Hood’s and only Hood’s.

unusually attractive manners in addij
lion to great personal beauty, she will
be one of the fairest graduates of the
season. Iler graduating gown is an
exquisite creation of organdy and lace
over white taffeta silk. The commence
ment exercises will be unusually bril
liant, and Miss Cleghorn, as one of the
successful seniors, will have prominent
parts to play in them. The average of
Miss Cleghorn’s attainments in her
studies is very gratifying. She passed
the final examinations recently with
honor when at least half of the class
failed. She has been one of the most
popular members of the exclusive A
delphean society, ami has been a gen
eral favorite with students and teach
ers alike, all of which has added great
ly to the pleasant social side of her
college life.
Ths Loyal Temperance Legion
held its regular weekly meeting at
the Methodist church last Friday
evening. As the pleasant spring
weather prevails the attendance is
perceptibly augmented and the
meeting, always interesting, be
comes more enjoyable. In addition
to the regular program an election
of officeis was held for the ensuing
quarter. Miss Roxy Harris was
made president; Miss Josephine
Mattox, vice president; Miss Cath
erine Cain, recording secretary;
Miss Lula Jenkins, Treasurer; Miss
Lucile Roan, roll call. Miss Mat
tox was also appointed to act as
organist. A unanimous vote of
thanks was tendered the retiring
officers for their efficient services.
Two or three weeks ago a number of
hogs belonging to parties near Trion
were bitten by a dog supposed to have
hydrophobia. Mr. W. T. Wooten
killed the dog, which had taken refuge
under his dwelling. The hogs were
put up and watched carefully and last
week several of them developed un
mistakable symptoms of the dread dis
order, and were accordingly killed.
Quite a number of dogs were also bit
ten, a number of which are still per
mitted to run at large. This seems to
be an exceedingly risky business. The
wiser course would be to kill every cur
that was bitten, thus greatly lessening
the chances for the spread of the ter
rible malady for which there seems to
be no cure.
Miss Dora Suttle and Mr. David
Tittle of Attalla, Ala., were married
last Sunday by Rev, Jesse Hunt at La-
Fayette. Miss Suttle has been teach
ing at LaFayette for some time and has
been living with the family of Hon.
Frank Copeland, and it was at his res
idence the wedding occurred. Miss
Suttle is a very well known and popu
lar young lady with hosts of friends
who feel a deep interest in her mar
riage. Mr. Tittle is a well known bus
iness man of Attalla.
Mr. A. J. Lawerance was last week
appointed postmaster at Menlo, suc
ceeding Mr. W. J. Jennings who
has held the office for several years
past in a most efficient and satisfac
tory manner. Mr. Lawerance is one
of the best known cit’ztns cf die coun
ty, and is public spirited and pro
gressive. He is a Republican in poli
tics, but is conservative in bis views.
He will take charge of the offie as soon
his commission arrives from Washing
ton.
Miss Annah Crozier, Madison’s
gifted pianist, is arranging to give
a June festival early in the month.
She has engaged the best musical
talent of our city, and has already
begun the rehearsals. It will no
doubt be a grand musical sucess, as
Miss Crozier is fully capacitated to
train and present such a musical
fete. It will be given at the Au
ditorium, of which the date will
be announced later.—Madisonian.

JUNE TERrt
SUPERIOR COURT.
A Special Sitting To Try
Important Cases*
A special sitting of the Superior
court will be held in Summerville
Monday June 14, to try cases in
which Judge Henry is qualified.
Judge John S. Candler, of the
Stone Mountain circuit, will be
present and will preside.
The cases are those in which suit
has been brought by the C- R. &

of New York, for amounts sub
scribed by various citizens of this
county to the stock of the C. R. &

pose of, but it is presumed that a
test case will be made, and one trial
suffice for all.
About $16,000 is involved in
these suits. Walker county has
quite a batch of cases, and so has
Floyd.
The result of the suits will be
watched with great interest, not
only by the people directly con
cerned, but by those in adjoining
counties, as precedents may be
established, and decisions render
ed that will have a bearing on
similar suits in other counties.

not adjourned, but took recess, and

follow ng order reconvening court
for the second Monday in June to
try these cases, and drew the fid
-1 wing jury to serve at that lime.
