The Lutheran picnic AT CeuIal ias'
Thursday was a grand success in every
particular There was about one thousand
in attendance. The evening before the
excursion there was about four hundred
tickets sold and cars were engaged to ac-
commodate from 800 to 800, but when
Thursday morning arrived, the day indi-
Gated a pleasant one, and a grand rush
WAS made for the cars-between 800 and
900 tickets were sold and the cars
crowded to their utmost. Every effort
was made by the committee in charge ana
the Superintendent of the railroad to make
the people comfortable. The excursion
marty arrived on the ground at half past
ten o'clock. Several hundred took advan-
tape of the nearness to Jamison City-one
| train ran between the stations every Few
minutes-each time the cars were well NIL
ed-it was a great convenience for the ex-
cursionists and a source OF proht for the
railroad company. The day passed pleas
antlv until the time for departure OF first
train when Mrs. w. L. DIetterick of Espy
met with an accident in crossing the
bridge at the grove. In stepping upon
weak plank portion of it broke, and sh'
was pinned fast in the bridge. 1t wal
with some effort that she was removed
Her injuries proved to be but bruises, al
she was much improved the next day ant
is now almost fully recovered. Their
were some who complained OF the accom-
mediation, but il information had beeI
given oi the possible number in attendance
plenty of cars would have been provided
If for future excursions people would en-
gage tickets earlier, crowds on trains Cal
be avoided.

thorn or "needIe" gently back ward

NO MORE RAISING OF HATS.

for new styles, have hit upon this
