The celebration OF Children's Day at
Sandy Springs last Saturday was very
much enjoyed by the large crowd pres
ent. They were little disappointed
at the non-appearance Of some of the
promised speakers, but were amply
compensated by the fine address of Mr..
r. S. Ligon, OF Anderson, followed by
one equally as good by the pastor, Rev.
A. B. Watson. The part most enjoyed
by the children was the abundant and
elegant picnic dinner and the merry
games afterward. AS rule children
enjoy such as that much better than
the finest oratory.
Mr.. VIM. Bolt, who lives near Port
man Shoals, celebrated bis 6Sth birth
day by family reunion and picnic at
that place on the 3Oth 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 "A veteran of the
'L0st Cause" having been soldier in
Orr's Regiment, S. c. v, during the
war. Since then as farmer, by in
dustry and economy he has accumu
lated a competency, and now owns u
lovely country home, where i'll 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 n large fumily of noble sons and
lovely daughters, who have all married
well and now have families of their
own. These all delighted III contrib
uting to the elegant dinner which was
laid on long table under the spreading
oaks. Every thing that would tempt
the appetite was there in the greatest
profusion, even to fresh fish caught by
Mr.. Bolt himself. Fish. flesh and +. vi,
salads OF all kinds, q dozen varieties of
cake, good bread, coffee and iced lem
0nadc, was part of the bill of fare.
While feasting on these good things
the happy company hoped that their
host would live to see many more birth
days, and celebrate them I'LL 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
intelligent young men never neglect
their responsible duties, but manage In
some way to make the time pass
pleasantly to visitors. May they live
long and be happy is the wish OF
INCOGNITA.
