There wasn't "coon" in the Valley who
could be induced by love or money to do a
lick of work last Tuesday. 1t was August
4th. and they We're enjoying big picnic and
barbecue in Dinger's Grove, north Ironton,
on that day. There were a number of visit
ors from neighboring towns, the band played
gaily the day long, and, TO sum the situation
up in few words in the vernacular of the
day, the colored population were fully and
completely sin it'' on this occasion. The
festivities concluded with big dance at
night which went merrily on till dawn of the
succeeding day.
The Accommodation last Saturday was
delayed on its trip south, and did not arrive
here until three O'Clock Sunday morning.
A wreck Of a freight train at Blackwell's in
the afternoon was the cause.-the track be-
ing so badly torn up and INSTRUCTED that it
could not be sooner cleared and repaired.
The delay played havoc with large party at
Gen. Turner's in Arcadia: the supplies
that is, the extra danties-for the festive oc-
clsion being on the train. We understand,
however. that the party was a success, not
withstandiug-so far as a fete champetre can
be without cream and cake.
The Dance and Lawn Party given by Miss
Adel Lopez in honor of her guest, Miss
Rosenblatt, on Thursday night last, was
quite largely attended and proved a most
delightful occasion. The dancing, the love-
ly promenade through the artisticaly il
Illuminated grounds, few moments of eX-
qusite recreation in the .hammocks 80 judi
ciou sly located in the shade and uuder the
branches of the wide spreading trees, and
the well-knOwn entertaining powers OF the
bright and YivaciOus hostess, all contributed
to making the evening one long to be held
| in pleasant recollection by those who were
present. About midnight some delicious

hours of dancing, and then ''good- night"

Come home, dear ones, and sin no more.
Oh, may the sounds and scenes that come,
Though tongue by death be cold and
dumb,
Give peace 10 heart and soothe the pain
A mind takes flight from dying brain.
Come back, my child, to earth again?
To suffer sorrow, toll and pain:
Nay, my child, thy mothers breast
Meier afforded sweeter rest.
No shadow rests upon thy brow;
Trouble cannot reach thee now;
Thou canst return to me no more;
I'll meet thee on the other shore.
