y
dents, not all. have had something
70 say about our picnic and an en-
curslon trip. we have sawed wood
and said nothing Now. we think
that If any of the correspondents
had an idea of going Oft on trip
TO picnic, they should have men,
toned the fact and made their
suggestion before any arrangement
or definite conclusion was made as
to where one should have it, or
whether we should have picnic
at all. AS matter of kind
ness, and an eager desire to have
the correspondents to meet with
us, is why we extended the invita-
ton, and weare yet of the opinion
that it would be enjoyed by both
editors and correspondents great
deal more than q trip to the
. Lookout" or to "Ele-E-fant, :"
and certainly o great deal more
palatable to our pocketGook. OF
course, we don't suppose that any
correspondent would expect our
kind editor to spend two hundred
dollars, or little less, just to
tickle our fancy. III our opinion,
our editor has been very kind to
us already, giving us space in his
paper to represent our different
communities, which has in many
instances, been a great helper in
building up our communities in
both agricultural and literary pur-
suits; whether it be about the
craps" Mr.. "a" or Mr.. "B."
The editor is not responsible for
the ability of the correspondents
nor the nature of his items. Pray
tell me what a correspondent could
write, if he should go to "Look-
out or to see the "Ele-E-fant, -" if
he cannot write creditable items
from his own community. Anoth-
er thing, we should consider that
our editor gives us space, not for
a wrlte-up Of the Lookout" or
"Ele-E-fant," but for the news
items of our communities. Let
us remember, too, that We take
about one page of his paper,
which, 10 doubt, would in adver-
Using amount to at least fifty dol
lars per week. We often forget
the courtesies shown us. We think
we are due the editor more than
one picnic a year and then we
could not half pay for the kind
ness of a patient editor who will
endure and be worried with such
items of the craps" and many
other wouldbe items. Now we are
perfectly resigned and willing to
go on an excursion to Lookout"
or "Ele-Efant' if each cores
pOndent bears his own expense
and also take the editor along with
us, or we are willing to go any.

Springs or to the Chattahoachee
mills, or to Sweet Water Creek, or
a fishing to Blue Ridge and see the
immense marble quarries, OF any
where at any time. willie Lee
and myself have decided to call il.
oar invitations, and are now ready
tor the excursion CT wagOnette
trip to Stone Mountain, Lookout
or any other place the correspon-
dents Will meet and suggest. Now,
we regret that we had to cali in
this invitation, and will say that
the correspondents have certainly
missed a treat which We had III
store for them. We only hope We
may have an opportunity to en-
terrain you next year. Sonow we
are ready for any suggestion.
Speak out. Where, how and when
Will we go?
The Literary Society will meet
next Saturday night. The matter
of inviting other societies to join
with us in one days exercises will
be considered.
