Notable Picnic in Burke's Garden
Burke's Garden. Va, June

Burke's Garden, Va, June 3.
Here in the month of leafy June,
When roses were in height of pride,
And Morning met sweet Afternoon
And kissed her by the waters side,
The farmers daughter sat beneath
The freshness of the naples shade,
While wild flowers of her native
heath
The balmy air with fragrance lade. >"
The most notable social event of
the season was yesterdays picnic on
the cliffs in Mr.. Robert Meek's pas
ture. The guest of honor was Mr.. +.
A. Groseclose, of the V. L. &. and
G. Company, Bristol, who has been
home for few days. The picnic was
success in every respect. A perfect
day-'just such a one
AS June will give beneath the skies
Where mountains welcome morning
With her fair, laughing, winsome
eyes.
The grove with the cliffs jutting
raggedly down TO the edge OF the
winding stream-"Twas a charming
spot Where shade locked hands with
shade In glee."
The party was most congenial
one, consisting of MissesMargaret and
Emma Greever, Lucille Snapp, Dora
and Pansy Meek, Richie, Groseclose
and Mrs. Robert Meek, Mr.. Henley
of Bluefield, Rev. +. l.. Richie,
Messrs Groseclose and Greever, and
Masters Walter Greever, Trubie and
Robert Meek.
The repast, dainty and delightful,
was served In most tempting man
ner. Shooting, fishing and kodak
ing were the diversions OF the day.

Yesterday the one-hundredth an
niversary OF the birth OF Jefferson
Davis, president OF the brilliant but
short-lived Confederacy, was observed
in Graham as holiday, the public
building being closed and the post
office observing Sunday hours. The
movement TO recognize the centennial
OF Mr.. Davis had It's origin In the
minds of patriotic women, who have
reared to his memory the imposing
shaft which was turned over to the
care of the people of Richmond yes
terday. Standing at the helm OF the
Confederate ship through four years
of strife and blood and hope, seeing
her resources and her credit fade,
even as her armies wore themselves
out with victories, he was perhaps
the most maligned and generally ex-
ecrated man since the day OF Bene-
dict Arnold. And now that nearly
half century has elapsed when a
reunited nation is looking forward To
the commercial supremacy of the
world, her citizens loyal to one flag
and one country, the name of Mr..
Davis shines forth in the hearts OF
the southern people even more bril-
liantIy than in former days, and In
all centers of southern thought, and
wherever devotion to the cause of the
Confederacy remains, yesterday was
set apart to do him honor.

has not forgotten the bitter attack
made upon him by Mr.. Bryan and,
while It has been publicly given out
that truce had been declared in the

good prospects for warm time when
