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.
