npAR NEWS: We cannot withstand the
Measure it affords to give expression of
favorable comment of the biggest, most
-,Ioasaut and the best attended picnic at
sordis church today. The substantial
reomanry of the 18th district of Terrell
wanted picnic at their church, and it
was success from every standpoint.
The arrivals commenced early They came
in wagons, buggies, carts, etc., bringing
+r,nks and boxes containing eatables,
.ho q 7ors of which were not "wasted on

ron, eprented as was the 18th, 9th and
ard districts. Randolph county was rep
resented by the indomitable Il. 4, form

tv Lee was also represented. The day
was the most propitious for such an oc-
casion, fair and pleasant; the shades the
the thickest and coolest, the grounds the
c1eanest and freest of insects, the water

coolest and dispensed in profusion by
+be cleverest of gentlemen, Messrs. Benja-
min Fitzpatrick and Charley Kenney,
assisted by Scott, the latter making hilh-
self useful in various ways.
About IL o'clock many ladies and gen.

there. And the many beautiful young
Young ladies, oh, my Mr.. Editor, excuse
me! my pen is entirely inadequate to do
this subject justice. Suffice it to say that
thew were all there and looked pretty
and sweet enough to eat for those who
are fond of such grub. AS for US, we
never could quite eat them-wasn't made
that way.
AfteW services at the church, Mr..
Mitchner announced in no uncertain tones
that all present repair to the grove and
partake of dinner, that there was plenty
for all. and that there was more where
that came from.
Progressive, prosperous and blessed

thankful for; and they are thankful.
We went to the grove and there found
spread in the shade dinner that was

was an immense affair, in fact, the 9lg-

and thanking the good ladies for
another piece of turkey, ham, chick
en-, more bread, pie, custard, cake, jelly,
for another wad of pork, a glass of ice
cold lemonade, a cup of hot coffee, we
kept feeling better and bigger all the
time. o, itwas a glorious picnic and we
regret, Mr.. Editor, you were not present,
for no doubt you stand greatly in need
of such dinner. There was plenty for
all, and lots over. We are advocating
numerous picnics in our county. What's
the matter with the prosperous citizens
of the 3rd, 4th, 9th, 18th and Dawson
districts? Have picnic, one at time'
ladies and gentlemen.
Don't forget the lean NEWS man-the
farmers friend. Treat him as we were
treated a. Sardis, and he will not feel
less grateful.
Long live the good people of the 18th
district. May they live long to prosper
