BOGUE CHITTO PICNIC.
Big Crowd Has a Fine Day in the
Beech GrOye-The Prize Winners.

The Fourth of July was an ex
ceptionally fine day, as to wealth
bright, with good breeze
stirring all day, and cool, for
July. 1t was just the day for
picnic, and the two thousand
people who repaired to the Bogue
Chitto Picnic Grounds on this
occasion enjoyed it to the fullest.
The only particular, in which the
picnic was disappointment was,
that there was no fervid Fourth
of July oratory. The Fourth of
July orator was conspicuous by
his absence. In all other re-
lspects, however, the elaborate
program was carried out to the
letter. The crowd was good
humored and the order splendid
throughout the day. In this re-
spect and others the management
scored great success, on which
they may well congratulate them
selves.
