A PLEASANT PICNIC.
It Was Given By Miss Bessie Car
Isle To Her Music Class In An
Ideal Spot.

Editor Herald and News:-By
the kindness of Mr.. Milton Caldwell.
we enjoyed a picnic at his grove and
spring on last Saturday. 1t was
given by Miss Bessie Carlisle to her
music class.
Early in the morning the pupils,
their teacher, and the chaperones set
out from town for this beautiful place.
On arriving at the grove we found
that Mr. Caldwell. with the assistance
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kibler. had
put everything in order. Neatness
was everywhere: 1t proved to be
delightfully."- cool place to spend the
day. The tall oaks and hickory trees
spread their branches and afforded
a dense shade around the cool spring
which bubbled up and ran off down
the valley. Wild flowers and beautl-
full large cucumber bushes gave much
pleasure to the smaller children as
they gathered them and wove them
into earlands. 1t is indeed an ideal
place for picnic and the pleasure
seekers of that day are certainly
much indebted to Mr. Caldwell for
