GRAND STRAWBERRY FES-
TIYAL AND MOONLIGHT
PICNIC.
Nearly Six Hundred People
Present. Feasting, Fun
and Love.

II
and Love.
The Strawberry Festival and Moon
light Picnic, given here OF Tuesday
night by the fruit growers, merchants
and others was simply immense. 1t
was gotten up on genuine democratic
principles; everybody was invited and
it cost nothing to go, stay or leave.
The large transfer platform, three
hundred feet long, near the depot,
which had been recently covered in,
furnished an admirable place for such
a gathering. From end to end, the
large platform was brightly lighted
with candles presenting a gorgeous
spectacle. The ladies, prominent
among whom were Mrs. Arnold, Mrs
A. w. Loving, Mrs Hine, Mrs Will
hanson, Mrs Ware, Mrs Hadden and
Mrs Hatcher, assisted by number of
Others, superintended preparing the
berries and baking cakes, while Capt.
A. w. Loving, DR. Harrison, Messrs.
Arnold, McClaran, Cade, Robinson,
Weatherford, Hine and Hutcherson,
DC, made the lemonade and attended |
to such other duties as they were call
ed upon to perform. In justice to all |
the committees, we must say they left |
nothing undOns that would enhance
the pleasure of the evening. A little
after 8 o'clock, music by the Milan
Band, like the tocsin of the clans,
brought the people from near and
from far until the attendance was
estimated at between FIVE and six
hundred people.
Now the fun began in earnest, the
little girls and boys made the air ring
with merry laughter, while the large
boys and girls were quoting poetry
and INDUCING i'll sentimental chats.
Some of the old men were walking
with measured tread upon the prone
made, Struggling their shoulders and
trying In vain to get up tender SEN
timent as in the halcyOn days Of youth.
The evening WAS beautiful and soft
breezes, as if fresh from bank of vio-
lets, touched lightly the cheek of the
fair maiden and caressingly toyed
with laboriously constructed bangs
and lowell curls. The queen of night,
followed by train Of sparkling at
PENDANTS, sned soft and mellow light
upon the festive scene and watched
the wiley Cupid on the rampage.
The feast was now spread and each
present, armed with i tea spoon, waged
fierce war upon the berries until they
were all made prisoners. At this unc-
ture Of the programme Mr.. j H. Ho-
rine Was loudly called for and respon-
ded in felicitous manner. He vel.
coined the guests and then spoke of
the culture of the strawberry in Ten
nessee. His remarks were highly en-
tertaining and reflected credit upon
the speaker. Entertainments of this
character should be had frequently, as
they cost but little, and are produce
tive of general good fellowship. In a
town like Milan, the community'is like
II large family, and these pleasant I'M
Ions of neighbors and friends furnish
opportunities for displacing arduous
business car : with delightful recrea'
ton and innocent amusement.

We take pleasure in calling after

We take pleasure in calling atten,
ton, as we have done on several occa.
sions, to the fact that if you are need
ing anything in the way Of Monu-
ments, Tombs and Tablets of the very
best of italian and American Marble,
and the work executed in the very
best style, you should make your pur-
chase of Mr.. w. s. McMahen, Milan,
Tenn. BY so doing you will be pat
r0nizing home, and thus keep the
money at home, instead of sending it
of-never to return, perhaps. Call
and see his work and be convinced of
what we say, and, furthermore, you
can save, as we believe, at least 10
per cent. by buying Of him at shop or
of his agents.
