A BIG SUCCESS.
The Sunday Schools Have one Oh
the Most Enjoyable Picnlcs
i'm Their History.

The annual Sunday school May pic
mic occurred Friday in the oak grove
near Colonel D. r. SHEPHERDS resi-
dence, two miles from the city.
While the number of picnickers was
hardly as large as usual, those VINO
were in attendance pronounce the day
an exceedingly enjoyable. one. There
has, perhaps, never been similar oc-
casion more successful.
The Egrove where the picnic took
place was very pretty one, and the
committee on preparations had pre-
viously cleaned up the grounds and
done everything possible to contribute
10 the comfort of the jolly party who
was to take possession on the following
day.
The little folks found swings in plen-
ty and at once proceeded to take
charge of them, while seats, to say
nothing of several acres of leaf cover
ed ground, were provided for the older
ones. Inc CenJer OI dCLrdcUioh' NJ"
ever, was the lemonade stand, where a
corps of workers was kept busy dis
pensing the delicious beverage to a
never diminishing and ever thirsting
Gro Nd of children and grown people.
The whistle of the y; 80 passenger
train as it sped by was the signal for
dinner, aud the long table which had
been built for the occasion was filled
with good things, to enumerate half OF
which would take column or more.
The afternoon was spent in various
games, in which the older folks joined
with apparently as much delight as
the children and made merry in the
rompings of Stealing grapes, F." etc.
The picnickers began leaving at two
o'clock and from that time until four,
when the grove was empty, the crowd
gradually diminished. The occasion
was certainly a delightful one, and
much credit is due the several commit
tees whose efforts made the picnic one
of so much pleasure.

From Northeastern Sale.

ATLANTA, May 5.-Tonigh Judge
John S. Gambler of the superior court
rendered his decision in the manda-
mus proceedings against State Treas

treasurer to pay the teachers.
The money that the treasurer is di-
rected to use to pay the teachers under
Judge Gamblers decision is the $500,
600 received from the sale of the
Northeastern railroad, the property
acquired after adoption of the consti-
tuition of 1877. This 5000, 900, together
with the S77,294.S3 of general funds
in the treasury, will furnish more than
enough to pay the $3.50, 3O6 Is

The court did not pass upon the
question of the other $233,000 of the
public property fund The matter is not
settled, however, as the treasurer
will appeal to the supreme court.
