The Masonic picnic at Rising
’'’awn has come and gone.
The 24th of Jan* will be remem
bered by many of the young folks
for years to com ' and the old tvill
cherish the memory of that day as
long as they live.
The Masons formed in a line at
their hail in town to arrange them
selves in a group and bid their
photographs taken, after which
they paraded the principal streets
and then marched to the Kvatt
springs about inreo fourths of a
mile from town.
The leading speaker was not
present but n t to be out done
sevora: Masons .dd.ossed the large
crowd that had assembled to get
as many of the secrets that were
dropped as possible. Messrs. Geo.
Lowery, Dr. Simm ms and others
made short but very interesting
addresses.
The grounds where the pic-nic
was cannot be beaten in the State.
It is located at the foot of a big
hill ou tne banks oi Lookout cre< k
in a shady grove and in ch'-se
proximity to two hold springs that
furnis e pur) cold v. ater to the
thirsty.
There was one feature very no
ticeable and that was: not a single
person was seen intoxicated on the
grounds. Tills is something re
markable as there is about six bar
rooms in the town.
Ia the evening the young folks
gathered at the Retro house at the
furnace and engaged in dancing
until die wee small hours.
GUESS WHO
Had the bustle bad.
Was Che best dancer.
Who didn’t get any dinner.
It was that kept Bob Smith away.
Dr. ..Brock lavished his smiles
upon.
The young lady that looked so
lovingly.
Was the prettiest girl on the pic
nic grouuds.
Was the most popular young lady
in the ball room.
The angel was in such an
Ernest conversation with a certain
young Treutonite.
Our First Trial.
On‘last Wednesday wi. w ire sent,
four hind legs of two bull frogs by
Mr. Ben. T. Brock, Mr. Brock is
our closest neighbor and we al-.
ways know what he has to eat and
he knows when we ave Jut, and so
on the above named date lie
thought we were about hungry
enough to eat any thing (which
we were). It did not take much
persnation to try it, but we made
out it did. We took a bite about
the size of a bean and stuck it our
mouth and commenced to chaw,
after chewing on it for a while we
were asked if it was good, and to
not let it be known that we were
getting sick ue said it was, at the
same time trying to swallow it,
but it like Banger’s .ghost, would
not go down. We began to get sick
and made a bee line to our own
mansion and as we went along we
pulled out enough bull frog to
make six in our estimation. We
.presume that it would be good if i f
was not for thinking of their green
and slimy looks when alive.
John Castleberry’s Snake.
John Castleberryberry killed a
rattle snake on Sand mountain last
Friday that was 12 feet long and
had 24 rattles, and one on Satur
day that was 5 feet and 8 rattles.
—Dade County Times.
That follow can go up head and
we s a 1 never attempt to say auy
thimg more about snakes. He
ought to have preserved him and
put up a ten cent museum. There
Was big money in that snake.
The largest rattlesnake that we
ha 1 over heard of was killed by
Mr. PL E- Crissou and a Mr. Rider,
on the McDonald farm below the
Lot*hurt mill during the war. It
measured five feet and ten inches
and had fourteen rattles and was
Luge ia proportion. —Dalonega

his illustrious father. He is a
worthy son of a noble sire. Jim

your promotion.
Shut Up.
It there iff not enough money in
the town to build houses then why
is it that some of the citizens are
working with all their might to
burst the ore and coal deal?
Simply because they have not got
ft tiger in the trade! If they are
too lazy to work up ft trade they
should keep their mouth shut.
