Saturday, August -, Supt. Mabin,
Of the M. e. Sunday School was on
hand early with his delegation wagons.
Careful drivers we're secured. The
day was ideal. This correspondent ac-
cepted an invitation TO go along. The
whole way was marked with shouts Of
laughter, singing and music, and the
boys in the rear wagon, bringing the
ice cream, called aloud to the boys in
the hay field "Come and go along"
The answer came back clear and
strong, II would like to, but can't to-
day" Who wouldn't like to go to a
picnic. Kimballs Ford was reached,
and such a delightful place, pictur-
esque In itself. The day was one
round Of good time and Of fun, fishing,
rowing, wading, and swimming and
shooting, oh yes, eating. Blankets
were spread on the ground to sit on
and table cloths were laid on the grass
were loaded with everything good.
Eighty-four people were seated tailor
fashion. Two young men from Buford
were down the creek fishing and a
messenger was sent to invite them to
dinner. The boys modestly refused,
saying they didn't want to in-trude.
Whereupon they were taken by the
arm and led up to the feast. When
dinner was about over some tourists
came by inquiring If they were on the
right road TO given point. They
were given the desired information
when one of the picnic company, given
to hospitality and mirth, called come
to dinner. The gentleman said 81
will take you up on that" He got
out Of his car, laying off his cap and
linen dust coat and helped his family
out. The ladies provided clean plates
for each. This correspondent, watch
ing them little, concluded they were
M. e. preachers, by the way they liked
yellow leg chicken and determined to
ask them their names. He found they
were G. G. Hawkins and wife and lit
tie son, Paul, and A. c. Hawkins,
business men Of Decatur, ILL.,, identi-
fed with the Kimball Music Co. of
Chicago, and going to Hillsboro, KY,
to visit home folks there. But how
much man is appreciated that can
make himself at home. After they
had finished their dinner, thanking
the picnic party, Mr.. Hawkins handed
his card, saying 1t was a dinner long
to be remembered. Little Paul re-
fused to be kissed, waving his hand
goodbye and ran to his papa. Seated
In car they we're soon speeding away.
The correspondent was then driven
over the ford up Vinegar Hill and on
out to Whiteoak summer resort, which
is clean, quiet place. We took
drink from the noted springs there
and returned to get ready for home.
In that company of people there was
just one baby, five months old, Velmia
Waits, who made the trip In the dele
cation wagon. She enjoyed the picnic
so much she scarcely closed her large
blue eyes and never cried all day. Now
where are you going to find baby to
beat that. Now the conclusion of this
story is this, the boy or girl who does
