Picnic at Stanley's Mill Last Saturday was a great day for the children of I Wish River school, as well as lor some other children who are past the age of some other children.

J. W. Wolling, D. D.) As an irishman would say, my experience at the picnic began be- j fore 1 got there. At 5 o'clock on j Saturday morning, I was at the de- , pot waiting for the train to take . me to Kinards. In a lew minutes ' Mr. VV .VV. Cromer, the county . auditor, came up with a paper sack j in his hand, and in answer to a question said he had his breakfast . along. As we sal on the steps lie concluded to eat, took out a hard- J boiled egg which, just as he had 1 finished peeling it, broke in half ( and the yolk and part of the J white tell and rolled in the dirt, lie j stuck what was left in the salt and as lie chewed away tried to look ' unconcerned, and said he was not ' much hungry any way. !>ut I v could not help thinking of the "fox and the grapes." 1 When the train rolled in. behold ] there was Mr. J. \\. Keagin, the ( noiol "war correspondent" and \ "knight <>l the heeling art" 011 \ board. IU' wa< determined to go ' to the picnic and seemed to have 1 gone down the road somewhere to * meet the train. However, there was t plenty ot room, lor the two men- t tioned and Mr. (loggans and this 1 humble scribe, "we lonr and no \ more. went 011 board from here ; and lonnd one man 011 two benches ; the only traveler.

I he exercises began at 10.30 with a fine attendance and many more to come. The church at Kinards is new and tasly. and loving ' hands had, with mattois in gold and with a profession of flowers, decorated the chancel and pulpit very beautifully. Miss Kate Gary presided gracefully at the organ 1 and Mrs. Emma Evans was the 1 "mistress of ceremonies," and di- 1 rected everything beautifully. The ;i children, though few m number. ^ were well trained and sang some of the pieces very well indeed. The ' selections for the recitations were f all in such good taste, and the chil- t dren rendered them with clearness I and some of them with fine ex- c pressiou. I he whole performance ' was very pleasant and eertainlv refk'Cli'd much credit on the pastor, ( as also on Mrs. Or. Evan*; and \ Miss (?ary and their helpers. 1 I he exercises at the church were t closed with an address by this writ er. who hung up his large mission- t ary map and spoke to them about I one of God's questions, "How shall 11 they preach except they be sent?" A little after midday al! adjourned r to Gary s grove, a beautiful shady j place, where an abundant dinner a was served. This writer was given a place at a special table with > ^apt. J. \\ . (iary. Mr. J. T. Crisp. v said to be the oldest veteran in New berry county, and Mr. John n I'.pps, the honorable treasurer of , this county, who with his daughter, j Miss Eugenia, was visiting his very t numerous friends thereabouts. Certainly over two hundred people !, partook ot that beautiful repast n and yet much was left over. Sharon Sunday school day was by all the t, signs a great success.
