Saturday afternoon. We were visited
by a heavy rain Thursday afternoon
which washed hill sides very badly.
We had the pleasure Of meeting MISS
Carrie Milford, charming young lady
from Abbeville, last Sunday. She was
visiting in our community, out has re-
turned home, much to the regret OF some
Of the boys.
Cut worms are damaging crops very
much. One of our farmers says that il
The people won't cut down the cotton crop
the Lord will do 1t for them.
We we're cent program Of the closing
exercises of the Trinity school by some
kind friend for WHICH We return our sim
cere thanks. We could not get there In
the forenoon, but we spent most enjoyar
Bile afternoon there. We regret that the
exercises were over when We arrived, but
we contented ourselves with ogleing the
girls. There was nice crowd on the
grounds, and We never sew q better be.
haved crowd anywhere. The ladies lent
grace and beauty to the occasion by their
presence. We were sitting at the spring
when party of little girls came down the
road singing. Our thoughts wandered
back to the pic mic Of our school In North
Georgia twelve years ago, and our eyes
grew dim and misty at the sight OF the
pretty little maidens marching along Ill
their innocence and glee. OH what
would We give to be back like We once
were, with not care or sorrow to trouble
ma. But ss that can't be we must make
the best of life and keep ploddlng on. Our
thoughts ran something on this style:
There came a party of "litt!e maidens"
Marching down the hill,
Singing that familiar song OF welcome,
TO the tune of ''going to mill"
Their voices wero swee!er than the
mocking birds
Singing in the dell,
And they reminded me Of the songs she
When I kissed her at the WE'LL"
The flowers are blooming profusedly,
And as sweetly as of gore,
But I'm thinking of a Georgia GIRL"
Instead of "Polly Moore"
No wonder I'm sad and lonely now,
And my heart is full Of pain,
As think about the pleasures
That will never come again.
We fell In love with the place, situated
as it Is in a God-fearing community. 1t
is in ideal place for festival or other oc.
casiou, The Church stands on beautiful
knoll surrounded by majestic oaks, while
at the foot of the slope bold spring gushes
out with its cooling water, which is o ut
beverage for the gods. We intend to visit
there again and get acquainted with all the
people. There are some handsome boys
and great many pretty young ladies
around there, and We regret very much
that we did not see them stand on the
burning deck and recite "Mary's Lamb"
The tea cher, Miss Leila Brown, deserves
praise for the festivities of the day. We
congratulate her for giving the children q
holiday, and we return our thanks TO her
for paving the way to our afternoons en-
ioyment. The people of Trinity are fortu-
nate in securing her services to teach the
children how to get along in Che world.
We attended the County Singing Con-
yention at Pisgah last Sunday, and had a
pleasant time with the boys. Now, some
may think that We are afflicted with that
disease that the boys have, for they have a
| fashion of wearing green spectaoles to pre-
serve their eyesight. But such 10 not the
case. The simple fact is We are afraid OF
getting kicked. I'VE we're once kicked BY
an old one-eyed, one.horned steer, and the
BOYS say that the girls kick harder than
ANYTHING else.) So if they kick harder
than that old steer did US We are going to
keep away from them.
