The Industrial School Picnic.

The spring session of the Indus
trial School has closed. To cele-
brate the occasion, the teachers
carried the children-35 in number
on a picnic trip, last Saturday,
which was success in every way.
The day was an ideal one; not a
cloud bedecked the sky. At an
early hour the young folks were up
and getting ready. They were con-
veyed in wagons to the Park grove,
near the Arsenal where the real
pleasures of the day commenced,
and the merry voices and laughter
of the young people was an assur-
ance that they were enjoying them
selves to the fullest. At noon, the
various baskets of eatables, con-
tributed by the Kings Daughters,
were brought forth, and all partook
of a royal feast. Everything that
the appetite of any one craved,
could be had in abundance-all
manner of substantials and delica-
cies, even to ice cream and cake,
The affair was under the super
vision of Mrs. NJ. NJ. Cecil, to whose
energy the occasion was made such
grand and pleasant one. The
other ladies of the party We're Mrs.
r. G. Ewing, Mrs. o. p. Rutledge,
Mrs. Dexter, Mrs. Eugene Ander
son, Mrs. r. p. Dodson, Mrs. f. 5.
Fowler, and Miss Bessie Moore.
Every one is loud in the praise of
Mrs. n. b. Shepard, in whose lawn
the picnic took place, and whose
perfect hospitality contributed so
much to the pleasure of both grown
and little people.
Before returning to town, the
prizes, offered by the teachers in the
sewing classes and for regular
attendance, were awarded as fol-
lows: For the greatest improve
ment in Miss Bessie Moore's class,
Fannie Tucker; Mrs. Ewing's class,
Mai Sue Lancaster; Mrs. Fowler's
class, Lula Adams; Mrs. Anderson's
class, Fannie Houser; Mrs. DeXter's
class, Fannie Butts.
For the most regular attendant
= since last October-the beginning of
the term-the judges decided to
award five little girls who had been
faithful from the start, viz: Matte
, Alexander, Rosa Watson, Eunice
Phelps, Nellie Jones and Mai Ad-
! kisson.
= Seventy-flve pupils were enrolled
during the term.

from an extended trip, looking up
fine stock. While gone he visited
two of the most noted Poland China
herds south of the Ohio river. From
one of them he purchased IA grand

gilt was in farrow by Claud Wilkes,

Fair. From the other herd he pur-
chased a black L. 5. gilt, to be in
farrow, when shipped, by a son of
Tecumseh Chief, the hog for which
one-half interest sold recently for
500. Mr.. Warteld has some of the
best individuals in the State, and
