Our Summer Outing.

We had quite a nice time or
our trip to t'ranklinton las,
week, notwithstanding the very
many delays and stop overs
necessary to make the trip.
Just think of it.! 1t is less than
forty miles from here to Frank

ing we travelled over four diff
ferent railroads and seventeen
miles by automobile. But the
game is worth the chase any
time: and we may go again some
time, but think we shall select a
cooler spell of weather. The
first night out was spent in
kentwood, where many, many
favors were shown US. Espec.
tally were we brought under 90.

Co., and Mr.. and Mrs. H. E.
Byrd, for special courtesies ex-
tended US, and especially to our
daughters, Lille and Myrtle.
We arrived at Franklinton on
Friday afternoon and were most
cordially received into the hospi-
table home of Hon. j. Vol Brock
and his excellent wife, and we
shall not soon forget the kind
ness shown US while there. We
found the people, it seemed, ca.
ger and waiting to hear the re.
cital to be given that evening by
the blind musician, Miss Hol.

the spacious auditorium of the
school building was comfortably
filled, and when it was over we
heard quite a number express
