Knob Creek June 3.-Well, | hope
the so-called blackberry winter" is
about over. | think it lasted nearly
all May, and now lovely June days
are here the time for swarming bees,
butterflies, birds, flowers, broad fields
of waving wheat, and in fact nature
is beauty itself and all nature smiles

picnics, etc. Whose heart would but
beat with gratitude and gladness2

Culleoka last week and had the ex-
quisite pleasure of joining the fishing
party from Carriers Creek at Mr..
Elliott Roberts pond at Goodwin last
Wednesday. There were eleven in the
party, all of whose names we did not
learn. Twenty-six fish were caught
in all, Miss Olivia Foster catching
ten, the highest number, and Miss
Susie Jamerson six. A bOuntiful
lunch, consisting of many delicacies,
as well as substantials was spread in
the lawn about one O'Clock. Some
one said, II tell you, those Carter s
Creek folks certainly understand the
art of cooking " In the afternoon,
