PICNIC
OF THE O. r. c
WILL OCCUR ON JUNE 2eTH, AND
ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOW
BEING MADE.

The local branch Of the Order OF
Railway Conductors is now arranging
for its annual celebration, and from
the present outlook the event will be
one of the most enjoyable yet given
by this order.
The celebration is to occur on June
29th, and committees have been ap-
pointed to arrange for the various IT
fractions that will be provided forthe
amusement of those who attend. The
celebration will occur at Magnolia
Bluff, where all of the railway picnics
occur, and of course an excellent train
service will be maintained.
The members of the order are work
ing hard TO make the coming event
more successful than any previous
one, although all of them have been
largely attended.
The o. R. c. has arranged with the
Louisville and Nashville to give an
exceedingly low rate from Selma to
Pensacola and also from River juno
ton, and it is anticipated that a large
crowd of excursionists will come 10
the city on this occasion.
