The celebration of Children's Day at
Sandy Springs last Saturday was very
much enjoyed by the large crow i pres
ent. They were little disappointed
at the nOn-appearance of some of the
promised speakers, but were amply
compensated by the tine address of Mr..
r. S. Ligon, Of Anderson, followed by
one equally as good by the pastor, Rev.
A. Is. Watson. The part most enjoyed
by the children was the abundant and
elegant picnic dinner and the merry
games afterward. AS a rule children
enjoy such as that much better than
the finest oratory.
Mr.. VIM. Bolt, who lives near Port
man Shoals, celebrated his 6sth birth
day by n family reunion and picnic at
that place on the 30th June. His seven
children, with their wives and hus-
bands, host of grandchildren, and
two great grandchildren with other
relatives and friends met to honor the
occasion and show their love and re-
spcct for this christian gentleman and
patriarch. Mr.. Bolt is veteran of the
'I4Ost Cause" having been q soldier in
Orr's Regiment, S. c. ", during the
war. Since then as n farmer, by in
dustry and economy he has accumu-
lated competency, and now owns q
lovely country home, where in his de-
clining years he can rest and enjoy the
fruit Of his labors. He and his good
wife (who was Miss Martha Clark have
raised q large family of noble sons and
lovely daughters, who have nil married
well and now have families of their
own. These all delighted in contrib
pting to the elegant dinner which was
laid OH q long table unt'er the spreading
oaks. Everything that would tempt
the appetite was there in the greatest
prOfusion, even to fresh fish caught by
Mr.. Bolt himself. Fish, flesh and fowl,
salads of all kinds, n dozen varieties Of
cake, good bread, coffee and iced lem
Onade, was part of tho bill of fare.
While feasting on these good things
host would live to see many more birth
days, and celebrate them all in this
pleasant style. The young men con-
nected with the power house contrib
uted much to the pleasure of the day
by their kind attentions in showing
everything Of interest and taking the
ladies boat riding. These polite and
their Responsible duties, but manage in
some way to mako the time pass
pleasantly to visitors. May they live
long and be happy is the. wish of
