away, had it not heou that they could not

An idea has gone abroad that the com
rm'tocs who are working to arrange for the
railroad celebration are preparing for a
barbecue dinner, strictly speaking. Such
is not the case. The committees are get¬
ting all who are prepared to promise to
bring baskets of provisions. Some sub¬
scribe money. Others subscribe shoats,
kids or muttons. The fact is, it will be
out of the question to spread a large enough
.dinuer lor all the crowd from baskets alone,
and while everybody is expected to con
tribute a basket of eatables, others who
are able are furnishing carcasses, and with
the barbecued moats and bought bread

tably and well,

Sandy Point Sifting; 9 *
Sandy Point, June 21.—It seems like
an age since last w@ wrote to Thf. Journal
but to some it has been only three short
weeks, Nothing has happened in that
time to break the quiet repose ioto which
our neighboahood seems to have settled
Now and then you can see some candidate
hunting up and renewing old .acquaint¬
ances.
Mr. Will .Hatcher says that while plow¬
ing one day last week he was startled by
seeing a dense smoke in the field, On
looking round he was surprised to see
some boys carrying ligbtwood torches and
fishing rods. They told him they weie
going a fishing. Will is yet wondering
what they were going to do with the
torches, as the sun was two hours-high
and shinilig very brightly.
Miss Leah .Harris tells--us of a very
antique curiosity, which her grandmother,
Mrs. Martha Long, has in her. possession.
It is a purse which was made for her
great-grandmother's great-great-grandfa¬
ther, when he:was a very young man in
Germany. Miss Seali says its size is- -im¬
mense, but did not state what the material
was of which it was made. We are sorry
she did noi describe it more accurately.
Mrs. Mary Grant has a goose -which has
hatched and reared the secoud breed of
goslings. Not being much acquainted
with the ways of geese we did not think it
very strange until we were assured that it
was a thing most unusual for her gooseship
to do. So we tell it to The, Journal.
Sandy Point holds her reputation for
good singings. The leaders rank among
the best of ringers. The singing last Sun¬
day was a success, and enjoyed by all who
attended.
We haven’t heard many speak of the
picnic, but know they will go forwaid
and do their part in helping to make it a
success.
Some of the boys are looking “awful
lonesome.” Hasten back, “teachers,” and
cheer them up.
Watchman, Yucatan, or whatever yon
call yourself; you are a clucky fellow.
Why, you have got the cheek of a brass
monkey to speak of the girls as you do.
But with all your egotism you didn’t miss
the ti nth very far. Girls would rather be
old maids than marry a man whose aspi¬
ration?, go no highor than those of a dude.
“Dave.”.
At Gainesville, Tuesday noon, a young
lady employed-in the n atch factory dis
covered a pistol (unloaded,- cf course) in
the watchman’s room, and at once decided
to have a little fun by.snapping,it at some
of her,companions,, when it went off, the
ball striking one of her friends in the
forehead,'inflicting a slight wound,
