THE DINNER.
Tho dinner was barbecue and pic
mic combined, and was all that tho
taste Of All epicnrc could desire. How
could it be otherwise when presided
over by men of such taste and expert.
encc rs the affable g. II. Scruggs, DR..
Ned Gibson (who knows the use of the
spatula, but prefers the knife and fork
on such occasions) and the sturdy
Gooding Steele, who knows when to
turn q carcass to bring it to the proper
brown. Nor must / forget the kind
Nathan Roberts and the many matron-
~ ladies that presided over the table.
Dear mothers Of the land, how could
we get along without you? Now, if l
have forgotten any Of You or anything,
charge it to the good people Of Union
Church ncighborhood for placing so
many temptations i'll my way. You
all know that | am on the shady
side of n good many years, with no
smiling fiico to cheer me when weary
with lifc's daily cares, and there be
meath the beautiful grove that sur
rounds your timc-honored church
were over score Of that material
which overy Benedict claims to be the
highest star in the crown ofman's hap
piRcss here bclow--all iii full view
which caused me to forget everything
else, save the dinner, and go to star
gazing. During this occupation JOS
tied against several friends whose
names delicacy forbids me to mention,
engaged III studying the same book Of
astronomy. Even our highly esteemed
and competent School Commissioner
was duly excited about one particular
II will let him say what.
Upon tho whole, the meeting of the
Teachers Association at Union Church
was success. It is true, we were
disappointed in not seeing moro ofour
teachers OUT, but Q suppose, it being
vacation with most Of them, that they
are absent from the county either for
business or pleasure. We hope, how
ever: that at our next meeting there will
be o full representation from oil the
white schools in the county. The
Rev. B. Il. Corley deserves the highest
praise for the zeal he has displayed in
getting up the Teachers Association,
aud also for his efforts to make it in the
end q grand success. So mote it be.
SECRETARY.
