The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-05-19

The early hour at which we go to press
prevents an extended notice of the picnic
at Newmau's Grove on Tuesday last The
Episcopal Sab bath School of this city, and
friends, 10 the mum Der of about three hun
dred and fifty in ali, left on the morning
train, and arrived on the grounds at ten
O'Clock, where they were met by the Sab
bath School of Christ's Church, Vicksburg.
The weather seemed little suspicious, and
at one o'clock the rain came down, aud
marred what would otherwise have been a
most happy day. There was only one small
shed for the protection OF nearly thousand
people, and that became Gro wded to satfo-
cation.
There was the greatest abundance ofgood
things, eatables and drinkables, and the
Vicksburgers were industrious in their at
tentions to the JacksOnians. Capt. feathers
having rendered ride on the Natchez, Mr..
Lawrence sent out train at three O'Clock,
and the excursion party proceeded TO the
Hill City; but a considerable rain was fall
ing at the time, and the greater portion of
the party remained ia the cars. Those who
succeeded in getting to the boat were treated
and fifteen minutes. The party started home
at half-past five O'Clock, INDUCING in many
expressions of gratitude to Capt. feathers,
Mr.. Lawrence, Mr.. HilZheim and all Others
who contributed to the success of the day
The clerk of the weather was not in very
high favor, and the party forgot to give
three cheers for him.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-05-19

Notwithstanding the threatening appear
ance of Monday night, very fair audience
assembled at Angeles Hail to witness the
Spelling Match inaugurated by Capitol
Lodge, No IL. Volunteers were few-onlY
nine for each class-and it seems evident
that another match would not draw The
spelling fever has subsidized, and we must
now wait for something else to turn up.
DIR. I. j. Mitchell and Mr.. n. Hodge acted
as Captains; Rev. DIR. Hunter, Selden Wat
kins and Matt. f. Ash as Referees, and Rev
G.. 3. Galloway, as Schoolmaster. 1t was
agreed that the missing of two words
should muster out speler. Maj. A. b.
Holt failed on unteEigibility and on the
next word expressed a wish to hybernate.
A blue-back spelling book was accordingly
presented him, which he can study in his
seclusion. Mr.. Fillmore, who proved to be
a fine speller, failed on tiniken and plaintree.
The next gentleman did not have maus
oleum in his LIST, but he did have
naosSoleuna, and was therefore obliged to ac-
coed to the order to retire. Capt. Glover
subsidized into common grass on ivied and
pbosphureted, spelling them ivid and phos-
furedit. Charley BrOugher seemed to think
iC apropos that he should get down and out
on coYollary. Walter Virden retired on
Magdelon and scurriHous. Capt. G d.
Bustamante was about to effloreS, but, cto-
reform being applied he was enabled to pass
out intact. DIR. Mitchell got smoked out on
merehaum, and some other word that we did
not catch. The next gentleman, though
spelling LowD enough, had i'm prene for
impregn, and souvener with an improper
ly in last syllable. The next speller, Capt. Fl.
M. Street, although not easily drawn aside,
proved distract able on this occasion. He
went out on syndicate. Eddie Yerger in-
dulged in a htccup (hiccugh) on dieturnty;
and Capt. Wolfe, although good tallymon,
was finally ODuGeu ~ ICUIIC. MI CIiiUou
was unable to keep step TO the mazourka,
and passed out on doater. Had Mr.
w. b. Peyton been a catechumen he
would not have omitted the b. He sur
rendered on servdcal. Mr.. Galbreath went
out on cappillaceOus. Mr.. Stadeker was
unable to stand the odor of jimesom, and
left the peddigogue with one scholar less
Col. w. II. Gibbs was now alone on the
platform, and proving TO be the best spellist,
the Webster's Unabridged was presented to
him. After gracefully acknowledging the
applause with which he was greeted, he
handed the dictionary to Mr.. Ash, for the
use and benefit of Capitol Lodge.
After the greater portion of the audience
had retired, an independent class was formed
with Dr. Hunter as shoolmaster. Col. Gibbs
again came out first best.

Mr.. PREsIDEST-The committee to whom

and sentiments of this meeting, have thought
il best to be brief, but explicit in their re-
port, and to abstain from all panegyric
Our deceased friend, as we all know, was
not an ostentatious nan. He was, on the
other hand. rather conspicuous, Tor his love
would be out of place, therefore, 10 bedizen
his memory in the garlands of unmeaning

To LEAD ALL COMPETITORS is the
aim of the proprietors of the Wilson Shuttle
Sewing Machine. 1t is founded on the very
best principles known to the sewing ma
chine science, and improvements, in advance
of all other sewing machines, are being
adopted constantly. The Wilson is rapidly
gaining the preference of all parties that
are acquainted with sewing machines, and
it has already taken the front rank among
the first-class machines of this country; and
its price, owing to its being manufactured
where labor and material is much cheaper
than in eastern cities, is fifteen dollars
less than all other first-class machines.
Machines will be delivered at any Railroad
Station in this county, free of transporta-
ton charges, if ordered through the Com
