Grand S. S. Picnic at Messy Greek Church


Grand S. S. Picnic at Messy Greek Church
MEssRs EDITORS Messy Creek has long
been celebrated for the elegant manner in
which her citizens display their hospitality and
generous feelings on occasions like the above.
Its reputation was we'll sustained on Saturday
the 26th ult, and, as a delighted participant
in the festivities of pic mic at Messy Greek,
we desire to add our highest praises and warm
est acknowledgements to the efficient managers
and all concerned. On Saturday, at an early
hour, assembled in full force at Messy Greek
church much of the beauty gallantry, and in
telligence, of Augusta, Rockingham, and other
counties, all eager to participate in the festlv-
tiles of the day About 10 A. NJ the tolling
of the church bell gave notice that the hour
for opening exercise& had arrived. Messy
Creek church is large cue, the seats of which
were quickly occupied by the inmense assembly,
all anxious to hear the address Of that able and
we'll known Minister, Jno. Pinkerton, pastor
of Messy Greek church, who delivered an ap-
propriate and touching address, advocating
sound principles for educating the young, with
good advice to the scholars of which the school
is composed, which was forcibly impressed up
on the minds Of all present. The occasion,
which was one Of interest, was enllvened by
the strains of capital music furnished by the
choir present.
The dinner spread in the grove near by, was
all that the most fastidious cpcure could desire
The tables laden with substantials, sweetmeats
&c. were three In number, each sixty feet long !;
the exact number of large pound cakes has not
as yet been ascertained, thong ii ranging be-
tween forty and seventy five, all of which were
very fine The Ladies-Their hearts noblest
feelings,
Worth all the things on earth
Their nobleness much higher
Than titled fashions birth
were beautiful, charming and captivating, such
as only old Augusta can boast of. and, in the
array here congregatcd, we might confidently
challenge com garrison with the rest Of the
world The numerous victims Of their all pow,
erful charms seen during the day fully attested
the magnetic influence of their attractions. =
Among their victims were a score OF gallant
men, who had bravey faced the dangers OF
MANY bloody fields, only to surrender at will to
fairer and more powerful adversarles.,

GREAT BARGAINS!
Piper, Drake & Co. have received, and will
continue to receive every few days, additions to
their already fine stock of Goods; and as 'they
think they haze the incest trade IN toavn" they are
compelled to keep first class goods as they have
always done, and can and will sell them at fair
prices.
They will also keep what merchants call ''sec-
onds' which are, in some instances, pretty fair
goods, but can, as general thing, be sold for less
than first class goods cost.
They do not propose to sell seasonable goods at
cost, for if they did their friends would not be-
lieve them, but they do promise to sell as loao as
any other house for the same class of goods.
They have just received splendid lot of
Bleached and Brown Cottons,
| which they can sell very reasonable.
They have also just received a splendid lot OF
| Cotton Yarns, which they are selling at lower
rates than since the war, for CASH.
HURRAH FOR Seymour & Blair
ILL 1t being reduced to certainty that
| the above named gentlemen will be successful
| IN the coming election, they, in regard for past
| services of the Senior member of this firm, Che
being well and favoraby known as a statesman
and public benefactor), have offered him seat
| in their cabinet. Said partner, therefore, con-
| templates retiring from the dry goods business.
In doing so he is making great sacrifice of his
own interest, but as patriot and statesman, he
does not feel justified in declining the honor, par
| tcuarly at the present crisis, when our country
| stands in need of good and true men to save he1
| from ruin and destruction.
| We will, therefore, from this day, offer our en-
tire stock of goods, not less than $4,000 worth
| AT PRIME COST AND CARRIAGE,
FOR CASH,
consisting principally of Dress Goods of all de-
scriptions,
Cloths and Cassmeres,
| White Goods
| Embroideries
| Hats, Shoes,

the United States. The reasons are
many and good why he should not re-
ceive them. 81 Ii
At the beginning OF the war, follows
ing the advice Of 5. y. Douglas, Of
whom lie was Jealous supporter, lie
entered the service Of his country rs
Captain in the LIST Iowa Cavalry. Al
though bright road to fame and honor
seemed open before him, a few months
brought him home-dismissed. From
that hour he acted with the "peace at
any price" party; and did what he could
to strengthen the cause Of treason; and
einbarrass and prejudice the national
cause. 1t is sufficient to say that he
was consistent and active Copperhead,
using his influence and oratory against
the course which the national authori-
ties were compelled TO follow in conquer
ing peace. And to-day, standing up
on the democratic platform Of repudia-
ton, a worthy compeer of the unworthy
men who stand first upon his tichet, he
asks = represent this loyal district Of 10y
al Iowa in Congress. 1t could not be rep
resented by such man; and no such an
one shall have an opportunity of mis-
representing it. Republicans, look yc
to it.

cessful onion grower on some what lin.

rake was used to stir up or scarify the
surface suilieiently deep to cover the onion
seed lightly or to assure its termination
In thus tramping tho onion bods down.
after ihe soil had been properly stirred and
prepared, the onion was thrown, during
tte period of, lts, growth, upon ihc surface,
