A Pleasant Picnic.

Dear Sentinel, very seldom see any OF
the happenings of this community given
through your columns to the public. This
may be because we are such quiet and In
dustrious people, and stay home and attend
each to his or her own affairs, and yet we
would have your readers In other parts Of
the county remember that we are not void
of those social qualities that go so far to-
wards making life cheerful and bright, es-
pecially for the children, lads and assies.
A demonstration OF this was plainly shown
last Saturday, in the way of an old fashion
pic.n given the members of the German
town Baptist Sunday School and the branch
school at Germantown Station, by the Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Allen Bennett, and his
corps of teachers.
Large farm wagons were previously en-
gagged, and at A. M. these, partially filed
with straw and drawn some by four fine
horses and some by two, began to arrive at
the church and receive their loads of "live
lumber" then proceeded to the station, join
ing with other wagons there which were
loaded with the children and friends Of the
branch school, Ten O'Clock was the hour
for this procession to move, the destination
being beautiful grove on the banks Of our
old Seneca, near Goshen Suffice 1t to say
that the hot sun and thick dust did not hin.
der the young folks from making things
lively the entire route.
Shortly after reaching the grove, cloths
were spread upon natures carpet, and the
chicken, ham, pies, and various other good
things, brought along by the good mammas,
were spread out in common, none knowing
their own. All the sight would have
charmed company of our Santiago boys.
Upon these good things the children were
permitted to make the first attack-aiter-
wards the older folks charged. Later on,
after amusements and games had been en-
joyed, ice cream and cake were served TO all,
the children first, of course. Everything
was Tree to all-dinner, refreshments, straw.
ride and all.
When the sun was about to hide behind
the western hills, the party started for home,
but did not forget to make things just as
lively on the ingoing as on the outcoming,
and the common expression at parting was,
1--WE have had good time"
A beautiful feature of the pic mic was that
all the children of the community were In
vited, and the owners of the wagons were

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The Forty-f1fth Annual Exhibition of thu
Agricultural Society of this county wa
held here last week, commencing on Tues
day and closing on Friday evening. Not
outstanding the intense heat which pre-
vailed during the four days, the attendance
was good. The number of exhibits In the
several departments was fully up TO the av.
erage, while the character and excellence oil
the same has never been surpassed in previ-
Gus years. The show of improved stock Of
all kinds was of such character as to in
dictate the great stride made by our farmers
in that direction within the past few years
The great interest taken by the ladies in the
exhibition was fully attested by the display
made in exhibition hall. In machinery and
agricultural implements there was large
display and one very creditable to dealers
In this line of business.
A notable feature of the Fair was the
very prompt manner in which the several
races were managed, and the early hour at
which they closed each day.
The officers of the Society deserve much
credit for the admirable manner in which
the details of the exhibition were managed.
The following is a summary OF the races

A Distinguished VisitOr.-Hon. Jas.
q. Clark, for number Of years past resi-
dent of Mobile, and President of the Mobile
and Alabama Railroad, was prominent
among the many distinguished personages
at our recent Fair. Mr.. Clark is a native of
Maryland, born and reared in Montgomery
county, and alter reaching manhood re-
moved to Baltimore county, and afterwards
represented the latter in both the Senate and
House of Delegates with distinguished
credit to himself and his county and State.
Subsequently Mr.. Clark became President
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany, and the canal under his management
yielded the largest revenue in its long and
varied history-indeed, his great success was
almost phenomenal, and he retired leaving
this great work in fine working order and
everything connected with it in good con-
dition. With his retirement it became the
football OF politicians, and as consequence
soon became bankrupt flnancialy-and
bankrupt in character.
WI. SlhIh uh5 iCeu u COUSlbL-
ent and earnes, democrat, but for many
years his eminent business qualifications
have been in such demand as to claim his
entire attention.
We were glad to meet him once again,
and whilst we easily perceived that much of
that splendid volcanic aggressiveness, which
with other personal qualities of mind and
heart made him conspicuous and endeared
him to his friends in his younger days, "had
gone glimmering," still there was much of
the old fire and enthusiasm left, and mere
reference to some of the stormy scenes in
his political life soon awakened the old
lion.
1t has been some years since Mr.. Clark
visited our county. Doubtless he missed
many familiar face which ever frightened
at his coming-but those Of his old friends
in early days, who are left, were glad to see
him, and more than glad to see that the
splendor of the ripened leaf and fruit gave
promise that they may continue to glow in
the rich hazy sunlight of many autumns to
come.
