The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1910-03-10

Of the church, chaperoned by Prof. Stu
art and Miss Eula McLemore, the num-
Der started for stroll about Q o'clock,
marching in double file, the crowd set
out to Funnygusha creek After crossing
the bridge and following for some dis
lance the wire fence, through, over, and
under which the merry strollers finally
found their way, they all collected
on the hill side under the "old
held' pines. All were seated on the
pine straw in storytelling circles Little
later the march was resumed, and as they
started across the old field, search for
daisies was begun. In a snort while it
was realized that the spring sun had not
been shining long enough for the delicate
little daisy to, raise its head Soon after
the pleasure-seekers entered the wood, they
were sorely disappointed in that they did
not find "Aunt Martha" at home.
In short while the wanderers found
themselves in the swamps again, where
was made an enthusiastic search for holly,
mistletoe, and vioets. The search was
more successful than that made for daisies
AS the crowd marched into Mr. Bates
field just back Of the house, he was seen
fastening from another direction toward
the house, the backway of which he en-
tered as though he meant to hide. But at
the surprise of all he was found on the
front, with a smiling face to welcome his
unaccustomed callers.
After Mr.. Stuart got biscuit the lovers
of nature land of biscuits too resumed
their march at more rapid pace. The
only incident happening between . Mr..
Bates and Mr.. SHADES was that of Lizzie
Macs trying to fathom the branch with
her right foot. At Mr.. SHADES Prof
Stuart was very much gratiEed when he
saw one of the little girls approaching
with biscuit in her hand for he was de-
termined to get a part of it.
Lizzie Macs home next was visited.
Here the strollers were royalty entertain
ed. Lizzie Mae made herself the favorite
of ALL especially of those whom she pre-
scnted with biscuit
The march to DR.. Edwards came next
The once merry forty-one by this time
had assumed a somewhat detected ap-
pearance, for they now seemed more like
dinner-seekers than daisy-seekers. What
could have been a more royal entertain
ment than when, at DR.. Edwards, through
the faithful Lizzie Mae, presented the
attendants of the party with waiter,
sumptuously filled with lucious fruit and
dainty cake?
MIR. Denson's was the next meeting place
A most delightful half hour was spent
here. Misses Eula and Maggie soon were
persuaded to- the piano, and rendered
sweet music, which was surely soothing
to a tired and hungry soul. 1t being
now the usual hour for Sunday school,
the crowd proceeded to the church where
a splendid lesson was recited. Just be-
fore the second bell was rung Miss Lula
brought Mr.. Stuart a biscuit and a good,
tender slice of deer. Professor seemed
to enjoy it immensely and afterward de-
cared it was the first deer he had ever
tasted, and he could not tell much liffer-
ence between the taste of that and that of
sure enough "dear." Every one of the
fory-one proclaimed most delightful
spent day. Perfect order was preserved
throughout the day. The only question
that confronted the crowd was Why
couldn't Willie and - keep up?
