Hartzog Happenings.

HARTzoG, May 12.-The ascension's
day picnic was quite snccess this year.
The crowd began to gather about ten
o'clock, and in short time large crowd
from almost all parts of the county was
present. At twelve o'clock the crowd
was called to order by Mr.. j. b. Fender.
Rev. NJ. W. Hook, of Bamberg, was called
on for a prayer. After prayer Prof. Il.
G, Sheridan acted as chairman. Hon. D.
5 C. Howard, of Walterboro, was the first
speaker introduced; he delivered fine
address on farmers" Itwas not lengthy
but full of humored jokes which seemed
to collect the crowd more closely together.
Then the Hon. gave his we'll composed
and Quick address, which could have kept
the crowd for hours if he would have stay
ed on the platform IA wagon.) Prof.
Sheridan then introduced Hon. G. W.
Garris, of Bamberg; his subject was
:. tshigher education" He handled his sub
iect well, and the special attention of the
crowd was given to it. Then dinner was
announced. Of course this part is always
welcomed and all seemed to enjoy it,
which was in abundance. After dinner
the young people started on their highly
enjoyable amusement. should say that
this place can afford as much or more
ground for this amusement than any other
in the county; everybody has room to
walk, sit or swim; the whole of the coun-
ty could come here and then every one
would have their own room. Boys, that
day has gone, but believe that all can
enjoy the thought of the time that they
had. If they can't enjoy it someone must
have went back on them, or otherwise it
was their own-fault. Ican't say as to how
the girls look at it now, but suppose their
hearts are of the same nature of the boys,
md they must enjoy or dislike it as 1--WE
boys The older ones must have enjoy
ed it, for they were cheerful and seemed
delighted.
Miss Maggie Black has returned home
from Weimers, where she visited her sister
Mrs. Warn, and reports that she was very
sick while there We are glad to see that
she is better now.
The crops are looking very fine now;
the warm weather seems to agree with
them. Some have gotten through chop
ping their cotton, while others have just
started. DR.. S. P. Rentz has the best oats
that the writer OF any one that he has
heard speak of has seen. He says that he
is going to thrash some of his so as to CAL
culate what they will make-x If any one
has any to put against them let him do
likewise and we will learn through this
paper who made the most.
!, Miss Julia Smoak and Mrs. NJ. A. Black
visit the Exposition this week. We
be for them a fine time.
Mr.. G.. T. Rhoad is still improving, and
seems to be very much better, to the de-
light of his many friends.
Judging by the travelling that DR.. s. P.
Rentz is doing, the summer sickness is
visiting the Hartzog homes.
The Hartzog heroes met and practiced
Saturday afternoon. This is the last time
until they play the Fitting School next
Saturday afternoon. We hope to give
them a good time; the game is to start
about three o'clock; come all and see it.
This will be our last game with them this
season, and now and after then We will
meet with the Gen Green" fighters to
play ball. Hurry, boys; Hartzog will
play you. }. w. X.
