We had the pleasure of attending the
picnic at Pisgah on last Saturday and must
saw we spent one of our most pleasant days
among the good people of that place. The
crowd commenced to gather early in the
morning, and by 10 O'Clock the sugar
grove was resounding with the merry
laughter of large crowd of beautiful
young ladies, and handsome young men,
with a scattering of old men and winsome
widows. All kinds of outdoor games and
few parlor games, for two, were INDUCED
in until near 2 o'clock, when our ears were
greeted with the glad sound of dinner, and
such 2 dinner it was, dinner fit for two
kings, such dinner as only the people OF
Pisgah know how to serve. There was ev-
erything good to eat that the heart could
wish, and the appetites of the crowd were
in condition to enjoy it. After this feast
of good things the young folks returned to
their games, and the older ones took con.
l venient seats and asked not to be disturbed
