Quite number of Tallahasseans, accompan-

picnic at Wakulla Spring on Saturday. VS.
kulla county was largely represented Dancing
and other amusements were engaged in, many
sumptuOus dinners were enjoyed from weIl-fIled
baskets, and upon the whole, the day was very
pleasantly spent at this famous resort

church, singing one of their familiar hymns as
they filed down McCarty street Mr. Page is
one of the Oldest colored ministers in this city

Ginning years to see his labors so abundantly
blessed in the conversion of sinners
"A party from this city Yesterday visited Wa

gentleman, who has travelled extensively, W as per
fectly delighted, and says it surpasses anything he
ever saw, and one of the ladies, who has often
visited this wonderful Spring, assures us that she
discovers new beauties about it every time she
