The Helicon Band.
In our report of the .firemen's parade
last week, we neglected to make
proper allusion to the fine music furnished

give open air concerts on Hampton
Square two or more nights in each

If the casual observer, even, will
examine the criminal records of our
court, he wJl see the difference now

We venture the assertion that not

A Railroad Collision.
Two mild-mannered little oxen attached
to a cart, changed their disposition
and ran away on Broad st.,
Tuesday. They ran up the side walk,
passed around Mr. Sheppard's photograph
tent and took up Mr. MackI
ey's railroad and struck his car with
[ such force that the collision turned
I the car over on the pavement. These
little oxen then ran down the embankment.
across the ditch and scattered
the contents of the cart along

Lyttleton Street.
The condition of this boulevard
of Camden should be an object of especial
attention of Council. It is
not only a pretty street but it is ren
dered strikingly lovely by the beautiful
ladies who make it a promenade
during the pleasant Summer evenings.
For their benefit, the sidewalks
should be as smooth and clean
as a ball-room floor. The street
hands in cleaning out the drain between
York and Boundary streets,
have thrown the sod on a part of the
side-walk, and left it there in huge
and unsightly lumps. It is like
walking over plowed ground, and
because we heard some ladies complaining
of this condition of affairs,
we have been prompted to speak of
it. "When new earth is thrown on

The Pic-Nic at Mulberry.
Our fondness for pic-nics is only
exceeded by our admiration for the
truth. It therefore becomes an easy
duty for us to tell in a truthful way
,/hat happens at these pleasant affairs.
"We report it for those who i
were not present, so that they may '
form a truthful idea of all the
..i Tf ,
pt'UMUCO luao ?cio cujujcvt. xi nu
were to exaggerate, those who were
there would know it, and our reputation
might be injured.
With this introductory, we will
proceed to state that the pic nic given
at Mulberry last Thursday was indeed
a pleasant affair. It was purely
undenominational and altogether
lovely. The ride to the grounds was
as pleasant as such rides usually are,
and as each wagon, loaded with its
| precious freight, filled through the
I streets of our ancient town they pre- i
sented bouquets of loveliness charm- \
| ing to behold. Of course, there
were young gentlemen in the wagon, ,
and they served as a kind of rough (
back ground to more fully develop 1
the beauty of the ladies. In this ]
manner, and with this appearance, ,
we arrived safely at Mulberry. ,
No better place for a pic nic could ,
be found in all our country than
Mulberry. I's majestic oaks, -whose
wide-spreading boughs east their cool
shade over grassy lawns, make it a
spot both picturesque and delightful.
There were elegant croquet
grounds, handsome walks for gene
nil promenade, convenient seats foxtile
weary, and cosy nooks for lovers.
All these places were patronized by
the different parties as best suited
their inclinations. We were promiscuous
in our tastes, and enjoyed
them all. We forgot that the hand
of Time had been laid heavily and
frequently upon us, and wo desported
ourself like unto a Young man. Wo
left it to our senior to support the
dignity of the establishment, and he
sustained it well. It may be because
he was boss of the committee of arrangements,
and felt the awful responsibility
of seeing that everybody
should get enough to eat. An uninterrupted
flow of pleasure filled the
hours that were passed before dmnex-.
When the time to eat had arrived, y
our senior sent out coui-iers with in- A
structions to scour the woods and val- y
leys and tell the duets, the trios, the ?
quartettes and the chonises to come r
to dinner. It-took some time to get r
them all up. The chonises, quar f
tettes and trios came cjnickly, and f
looked like they had an appetite to (
do justice to the occasion; but the J
duets came reluctantly, and looked ?
like they were not hungry nohow. t
However, at last those with ancl those j
without appetites were arranged A
around the feast, and, after the blessing,
the business began. It was then j
for the first time that the little judge j
was missed. It was discovered that A
ho had not come, and the curiosi A
ties of the occasion were consequent- f
1 y lost. "We were deprived of the i
chance of seeing a little fellow eat ^
more than lie weighed. But the pop ^
ular salesman was there, and if ne .
had not been such a big fellow, he
might have taken tlio judge's place. ^
After every one else had finished
their dinner, a cr -wd gathered j
around and gazed with amazement
wiiiie'.he devoured the miscellaneous j
contents of a very IfU'ge <lish. This
he did most gracefully, and the *
?wner of the dish is also minus that t]
article of crockerv. The deeds of '
- i u
neroes My peers muiiui-iuu un, <.n ,
.aid gently in the shade by a girl j
who weighs one hundred. and drank
Jiree quarts of lemonade, out of a
iiiree pound poach can. Tiiis was
a:so an incident of the dinner, and
we here note it. Our senior did not
eat much at dinner, but. then he had '
been setting the table for three hours,
which accounts for his loss of appetite.
With a loudness worthy of ail j
thanks, all the gimgers were placed
at a particular' spot reserved for us,
and we were consequent!}' very happy.
Our tallest esteemed did not .
appear to enjoy his dinner much,
but we could not tell whether it was
because ho was a duet, or because
there were only twenty seven cans
of salmon there, and somebody else
got one of them. .
As we said at the beginning of
this article, we wanted to be truth '
' > ' 1
lui, airci ior inaireason >yc u??, omio j
that there was no cattish stew to be ^
seen, nor never has been at any pic- j
nic we have attended, and yet our senior
was happy. ^
A good dinner is a great promoter ^
of good spirits, so, after it was 1
ovre, there was a general scattering
around, and the pleasures of the day ,
were resumed with increased zest. '
Many who had buggies, hitched in j
their horses and indulged in pleasant
drives. We had no horse, but we
were determined to take our fair
companions on a ride, too; so Ave ]
borrowed a buggy and placed oiu- ladies
in it, and the. Tallest Esteem- (
cd and the Chubby Gunger hitched 1
| themselves to the shafts and trotted 1
away in gallant style. To see repre- ]
sentatives of two rival newspapers
working so nicely together in harness
was a sight charming to behold. It
was fortunate that the ride was not 1
a long one, for the tallest might have 1
got the wind on the chubby.
The rest of the day was passed as '
it began?in unbounded pleasure? J
and when the wagons came to take
us home, all agreed that there had I
been pleasure enough for one day, ;
and willingly started on our return 1
n ?
to Camden. 1
i Mr. S. Miller "Williams has the '
j thanks of all for his kindness in al- I
lowing the use of his grounds, and
his generous tender. of services to
promote our comfort. We will ro
member this pic nic as long as we
live.

THE BAPTIST S*S. PICNIC.
A Successful Arrangement find a Joyous
Occasion.
The union picnic of^thc Camden
and Town Creek Baptist Sunday
Schools, took place at Mulberry, last
Tuesday, and it brought together a
larger assemblage than we have seen
at any occasion of the kind this season.
The number of persons present
has been variously estimated at
from four to six hundred. The managers
of the affair deserve praise for
tlie arrangements they bad provided
for the enjoyment of all.
Tim rric-uicers who were to so
from Camden, began to assemble at
the Baptist Church, the place of rendezvous,
at an early hour, where i
they were entertained with enlivening
music by the Helicon Band until ,
the time arrived for the procession
to take its departure for Mulberry.
The wagons, 'hacks and other velii- !
?lcs were then loaded with their previous
freight of sweet little children ,
-ieautiful ladien and ugly men, and a <
ine of loveliness sandwiched with
igliness tiled down our stiinets towirds
the delightful grove that was to
ivitness a day of supreme happiness. 1
it Mulberry the Camden people
vere met by the Town Creek brigade i
ivlio. like the prompt and thrifty i
>ecple they are, were on the grounds
soonest. They theu mingled togeth- (
jr ill the pursuit oi: the pleasures of
he (lay. .
Every means of amueseient had
)een provided to suit the various
uclinations. Swings were suspend- 1
id from the trees in various parts of t
he grounds.which were well patron- <
zed by both large anc\ small, and
;ome of the young men had hard t
vorlc before them to keep the swings \
n motion which held a considerable t
imount of avoirdupois as represent:d
by their sweethearts. The cropiet
parties, as at all picnics, were
mmerous, and we had the pleasure
>f playing our first game. Under
he instmctions of the fair ladies
vho undertook to teach us, we found <
he rules of the game come easy to c
is, and the cheating part, we acquir 1
id quite naturally. A very enter
aining feature of the amusements .
vns the " augur target," gotten up
>y our friend Mr. R. T. Owens. The
' - .1
iiTangement consisted of a huge tar ,
jet live feet square, a tree. 1
Che marksmen were placed in front
>f it at a distance of about tliirty s
eet, and blindfolded. They were f
jiven a common carpenter's augur, I
nade to turn around three times and I
itart towards the target holding the
mgur at arm's length. The one com- ?
ng nearest to touching the bull's eye j
vith the augur was entitled to the (
irize. We were the first to take a ^
land and started for the target in a
iee line as we supposed but when
ve thought we had wah^fc far enough '
ve took the bandage ^Bi our eyes 1
md found we had miraed the tree, 1
arget and all. about fifteen feet, but 1
liit w!i? n o-nod shot- in comoarison
" O X
,o some otilers, and we marked it 1
vitli the hope that we might coino 1
n for a prize. The way-our editor '
vent at it was enough to make a 1
itfttuo of Hamlet laugh. He grasped
ho augur with tho determination of |
i Napoleon, turned around three ,
ime.s with the grace of a Criehton, ,
md started towards A: target like (
he immortal " Six Jiil^B'ed at Bal- i
ikiava. When ms ev*were open d
to the light he saw himself trying ,
o bore a hole in a wagon body about
brty feet to the left The ladies .
vho tried their slcill made better
jiiots, for they walked in a straight- ]
r line man the men, as they always (
Jo. During tiie whole time the inline
from the Heiio'on band floated
>ver the scene, adding greatly to the i '
il ensure. 1
Towards noon the crowd assem- |
Died hi one place to hear some speak- 1
ng. Our esteemed friend and for- '
ner associate, Mr. W.B. Trantham, s
vas introduced, and had got into (
;he middle of a very neat little speech,
vhen a providential shower came up,
ind he roimded off his premature
Deriod in a gracefid manner by say- j
ng, "Well, the ram has come and I f
un glad of it, and I suppose you are 1
:oo." "While the shower lasted the ?
;rowd took shelter in the Mulberry \
nansion. This gave an opportunity |
io those so inclined to roam all over s
this grand old mansion, and admiro s
ts architecture and completeness, i
When the rain had ceased the time 1
for dinner had arrived, which was 'c
fortunate, for there were other gen- ,
tlemen on the ground, celebrated for i
their capacity and readiness to make 1
Sunday School speeches, and had
time permitted they might have '(
been asked to do so. j
The arrangements for the dinner <
were admirable. 'Two long tables j
were erected in a parallel line, and
loaded with good tilings. The chil- \
rlren were then called up and served i
fust. "When they got through the '
tables were cleared of debris and (
then reloaded for the grown people. ,
We take this occasion to thank the j
young lady who made the large !
gunger" for us. She put raisins (
and cm-rents and other good things 1
in it, and it was very nice. The ad- .(

reach over the crowd of little ones i
around, and fill up a two-quart tin
cup as easily as he could afterwards

garded us at dinner, and hovered for- ,
bcaringly above us until all the eat- i
ing was over: but when everything (
was cleared away and '.lie people bad j
scattered again for promiscuous .
pleasure, the rain came down. Tins ,
made all repair to tin* House again
for shelter, wlicro tbe remainder of
the day was principally passed.

An Endorsement.
Messrs. Editors: I wnDt to pay in
your paper that I fully accord with that
dear "Lady Reformer." who wrote that !
very sensible article about kissing in your
issue of a few weeks ago. I fully endorse
everything she sayaon the subject, and
this is the one sentroient among all my
lady friends. We have been talking
about the letter ever since it was printed,
and I take this method of thanking
your charming correspondent for all she
- ?l ll* 3
has said about trie matter, myaeir ana
many oth- r ladi-s are willing to join
her in the formation of a society for
the prevention of promiscuous kissing
among our own fi'-x. There is no need
whatever to discuss kissing in any oih-r
character than the one a!lud<d to. for
we do not see any need of reform in
other directions. The enstnm generally
regulates itself very properly in every
other way, oxcpt in the matter that
now claims our attention. If "Lady
Reformer" will commence the movement,
she will find an nuxillirry in
Miss Fastidious.

National Complaint.
Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Almost
every man or woman you meet has it, and the
result is that the number of pseudo-remedies
for It is as numerous as Pharaoh's host. They
arc for the most part worthless. There is, however,
a searching eradicant of this distressing
on/1 nh/inr/ito mniadr. one whose genuine merits
long since raised it to a foremost place among
the staple medicines of America. Eostetter's
Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia with greater
certainty and promptilude than any known
remedy and is a most genial invigorant appetizer
and aid to secretion. These are not empty
assertions, as thousands of our dorntrvmen and
women whr have experienced its effects are
aware, but are backed up by irrefragibie proofs
repeatedly laid before the public. The Bitters
also promote a regular habit ot body and give a
healthful stimulus to the urinajy organs.
-A. Card,
Having purchased the entire stock of
SHOES belonging to R. M. Kennedy, I of'
fer the goods 011 hand at such reduced prices
as cannot fail to attract attention, and
a part AT COST FOR CASH, for the purpose
of renewing the stock entirely, and
in the meantime am receiving some NICE
NEW GOODS, which I am determined to
sell cheap. With an 'experience of eight
years in this business, and intending to
give my attention to this alone, I hope, by
Selling on small profits. Having but one ,
price and keeping GOOD SHOES, to merit
a continuance of, and also, to extend the
patronage heretofore given my predecessor
in this line of business.
