The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1891-05-15
CulIeOka,

The slender moon has risen above the
horizon and is shedding her gentle rays
DER this beautiful green-clad earth; the
twinkling stars wink ana smile at us as
if they were glad to add their pale light
to the mother moons more perfect
beams; and even the tightening bugs
have come from their winter quarters,
and now their tiny lamps make the
woods and fields beautiful beyond de-
scription. The hoarse croaking of the
frogs and the shrill chir-chir-r-r of the
nimb crickets tell us, in accents
plain, that Summer, the years favor
in all her spIendOr. But we must leave
natures charms, repair to our room,
and write to the dear HERALD.
The most pleasant event since our
last letter was the fishing party on
May End. The merry young people,
chaperoned by Mrs. j. b. Tomlinson,
met at Bells Mill, and the entire day
was spent most pleasantly; not great
many of the tinny-tribe were chung
that day, but enough swallowed the
| hooks to make the day not a loss. The
| writer cared not for such common fishes
| as the cat, trout and perch, but was
fully satisfied with pulling out huge
| craW-fish. 1t was quite an accomplish
| ed fellow, for he could walk in four di-
| rectiOns without turning around
| Through the columns of this paper we
| wish to render thanks to Mr.. and Mrs.
| P Bell for fresh cold milk and berries,
that added so much to the picnic din
A large party, old and young, went to
Buford's Station Tuesday to see the big
stock show.
We regret to notice the total destruc-
ton by fire of Mrs. Alfred Fleming 8
residences. Little of the furniture was
saved, and there was no insurance.

have injured the potatoe crop so me, bu
