THE GRANCEsT OF GRAND
TRIPS,
Participated I'm by the UDsur-
passable Ten of Hardin
County.

Having Decn previously requested
by their hospitable hostess to spend
Sunday, June the 9th, with her, as
there was no preaching at the Al. +.
church, Misses Stella and Mamie
Broyles, Bessie Williams, Lettie
Smith and Belle Patterson accompa-
MED by Messrs. Cox, Perkins, Pick
ems, Laden and Hudiburg, after
attending Sunday school, started for
Economy, that noble city where al
though the name would suggest it,
they are not economizing in dispen-
sing their eatables and other good
things.
They arrived at IL o'clock,
and were there joined by Messrs.
Jones, Cherry and Sewer, who were
quite an acquisition TO their party.
After resting an hour or so, they
proceeded to partake Of the 'luxu-
ries of life" otherwise ITO Craze"
The luxuries consisted Of chicken,
ham, vegetables, cake and peaches.
They then repaired to the parlor
where an invention that has been
agitating the great minds of the
world for centuries, was brought to
completion; that of Perpetual Mo
ton. 1t was discovered IN this way:
Two rocking chairs, loving couple,
mutual agreement. These were the
sum and substance OF the invention
which was named Perpetual Motion,
by one of the bright minds of the
party.
In the course Of the afternoon
they ramhled to the creek and en-
graved their names on majestic
beech, all but one who, thinking bis
name to be ineffaceble, engraved it
In the sand.
A cloud arising they decided to
return to the house, and some of the
party fearing rain and rem EN- Der.
ing that sugar melts, wished to re.
turn to Savannah; but this idea met
with bitter opposition by most of the
crowd; so those who had proposed
it started of, as they were 50 obsti
nate. ond the rest of the crowd fount
much enjoyment in the fact ma

wards. About An hour afterwards
, at 4-30 p. NJ, the remainder of the
3 party sorrowfully took their depart

traction, for this part of the crowd
! in town, they did not progress yer.

the fact that the owner of the iiel

crept round the corner of the fenc,
