The cart wheel hat is all the go,

The girls must wear 'em to make q show,
As they sail along to captivate a dude.
Just about the time farmers
were beginning to feel really alarm
ed at the prospects of continued
drouth, providence proved how vain
are human tears by opening the
flood gates of heaven and giving US
a rain or rather a succession of
showers and hot sun, which form
excellent growing weather, causing
the turnip plants to shoot up with
vim.
-Stubble turning is in full blast.
Hon. j. K. P. Blackburn started
several plows Immediately after the
rain.
ID. B. Garrett, our road over
seer, had his farmers out several
days last week ,ditching and hauling
gravel filling up the washes that
were washed out during the heavy
rain in the spring. He is a pleas
ant and energetic overseer and did
noble work on our road.

-Thos. Cook is the only boy in

OUR PICNIC.
The young folks OF this commu-
nifty had grand picnic here Thurs
day in "a beautiful grove near by.
Despite the rain the fair ones gath
cred in from far and near, and of
course the innocent hearted dudes
followed. The grounds were clean
ed off beautifully and they had just
begun to play croquet when a rain
came and drove them in the church.
Your correspondent wanted its flu
neral preached by some one and the
burying to take place in the nearest
cemetery so we could be dismissed,
but the majority said not. Miss
Jindie Grigsby played several beau
tiful pieces on the organ after which
dinner was announced by A. Bugg,
and after doing ample justice to
nice things we had to eat we return
ed to the grove and played croquet
until half past o'clock when an
other rain came and drove us to the
church again where the funeral was
preached by Geo. B. Witt and the
picnic buried in the old church
yard. This burying like Gen.
Grants will never be forgotten, but
will be remem hered as one of the
pleasan test occasions. We linger-
ed there trying to mix politics, love
and picnic together until the shades
of evening drove us home. A fairer
lot of girls and a nobler bunch of
boys never graced this town. This
is not tafy, but truth. ! am not in
love nor judging of the fair, but
will admit that l never attended a
picnic that afforded me as much
pleasure as this one.
