A DELIGHTFUL DAY AT CHEM
UBBEE.

| oNoAudt1 q h1Oob- scuidi ScutlcttIhuy
we started last SATURDAY on a trip
of twelve miles to Chenubbee,
Webster County, at which place
the Union Sunday School Celebra-
ton was to be held. The drive of
twelve miles was one of the MIST
pleasant we ever experienced. On
both sides o! the road. the crops of
cotton and corn were in a magnif.
lcent condition, better than ever
before since the war. The sight
was enough to make the most de.
apondent. hopeful. and we fully re-
allzed that there was plenty of life
in the old land yet.
On arriving at Chenubbee, we
at once proceeded to take in the
enjoyments OF the day, and as we
did SO, we found ourselves all the
time in the hands of hospitable
and kind hearted people. The
exercises we're held under a large
arbor, and we're most interesting.
The Rotations by the boys and
girls, gave much satisfaction to the
large number Of people present, all
of whom listened with evident feel
ings of the greatest pleasure. The
songs were prettily rendered.
Messrs. j II Black of Dawson and
VIM. II Hitler did themselves
much credit in delivery Of Sunday
School addresses. Each of these
young gentlemen have before them
an assured future for good. Nay
they never prove unfaithful to
life's high possibilities.
At the conclusion o. the exer-
cises as laid down in the pro-
gramme, Mr.. W NJ Sears gave a
short talk, sustaining himself as he
always does, well.
AT one o'clock, the members of
the school in procession, accom-.
panied by a large number OF visits
ing friends, placed themselves be-
fore well filled tables. OF good
things to eat, all had more than
enough, and in the abundance of
"deiicacies," Chenubbee, came to
the front that day. An earnest
effort was made on the part of the
people of that nice place to dis
pense at the well filled tables, all
the hospitality that they were ca.
pable Of bestowing. May the PEG.
pie of Chenubbee. Five long and
prosper, in return for their pros
verbal kindness o. heart.
After dinner ut the ar',or, Hon.
d B Harrell, entertained a large
crowd, with one of his characters
tic speeches, brimtul of good
, sense, and brimful of good advice.
Judge Harrell is a most useful
man, and he has made an impress
for good upon the people of his
section and of his state that will
long remain, to cheer aud to bless
them. Vigilant in the discharge
of every duty, he has been proper
ly called "The Watch dog of the
Treasury" Mr. Sears, again re.
sp3nded to a call mede upon him,
and gave one of his talks, that fell
with practical force upon the minds
and hearts of every one present. The
Rev. y 7 Clark, closed with one
or his fervent appeals for the props
err discharge of Iite's duties. Mr..
Clark is a faithful minister of the
| Cross, and surrounds himself with
the love and esteem of every one,
The three counties, Sumter,
Webster aud Terrell, were repre-.
sented at this celebration, by their
best people, Pretty girls, escorted
by their sweethearts, fathers and
mothers, with tne;r sons and daugh-
ters, and brothers with their SIS
tiers, made up happy scene that
will long be remembered. Much
of the success of this celebration was
and is due to the untiring exer~
tions of Mrs. NJ K West, who is
indeed one of the ''elect ladies'"
| To her, as an indefatigable Sunday
School worker, much is due, for
the present healthiul condition of
things as they now exist around
the school interests of Chenubbee.
But above all, around all. and in
all, are we indebted to our friends,
DIR. j H Williford and to that ele-
CANT young gentleman, Charlie
Gunnels, for multitude of cour-
tesies EXTENDED to US on the day of
the celebration. May each of them
never know what it is to be unbap-
by a day While at Chenubbee,
we met with Mr.. Dan Davis. SHEER.
