Young and Miss Lyl Harris, a member of the club, assisted Mrs. Garlington in receiving. After the serving of dainty refreshments the girls drew for cards prettily decorated in heliotrope upon which were inscribed quotations from the various plays studied during tho winter.

Saturday was a day to be remembered oy the lads and losses 01 the county. School Commissioner Madden had ar ranged that the teachers and schools of the county wo'^M have a picnic on the grounds of U Graded School of the city and at an early hour of the dayi gayly decked wagons, carriages and conveyances packed with the boys and girls and tots, began to make the public square of the olty a scene of animation and innocent gayety. At 11 A. M. the city band sent forth lively airs from the porticoes of the C. H. and the auditorium of that building was soon packed with the school girls, boys and their teachers from all around Laurons. The day's programme was opened with an appro priate prayer by the Rev. Robert Adams, of the Presbyterian ohurch; Mayor Dial welcomed the guests and turned them over the keys of the city. First, however, Professor J. M. Bry son introduced Hon. W. D. Mayfleld, State SuperIntendant of Edueatlon, who delivered a short but very In structive address upon the educational conditions of the State and the audi ence was delivered over to the picnlo grounds, where they proceded to enjoy the day. The parents of the children brought great baskets of all tho good things the splendid mothorB of our county know now to provido and thoy were delightfully spread, served and enjoyed. Tho merchants of tho city furnished the lemons, i lemonades and the IceB and the city hand dis coursed pleasant and patriotic airs and there was nothing but fun, frolic and tho riot of youth to mark the pro gress of tho fast going hours. Our citi zens wore charmed to have the little peoplo hero and wo hopo and believe It will ho romombed as a red letter day with thorn. The little girls prom ise beauty and many charms, but not above their mothers; tho boys are a brave, manly looking set, but they must do stoutly to emulate their fathers. Professor Watklns. of our Graded Schools, was exceedingly attentive to make all have a pleasant day. In Memory of Miss Mary A. Oreer. Weep not for your Mary, my friend, A crown to her has been given, Sho is a whito robed angel Resting peacefully in heaven. You had a beautiful flower That you tended with such care, But now that flower Is blooming In Paradise?"over there." You had a precious gem, Too valuable for this earth, So God took It to him So he could get its worth. You had a beautiful star. That made your path so bright, It is shining In heaven now, In daylight, "for there is no night." You had a girl that you loved, Yes worshiped, I daro say, But now sho is tronoand left you, Gone to always stay. But soon you will see hor again. When you are called on high, Yes, you will meet hor, "faco to faco" Up there, "In tho sweot by and by." No doubt it was hard to give her up, So hard to say "good bye," But sho has gono to realms of bliss "Over the rivor," "beyond the sky." When you got there how sweet, 'twill be, You will walk together on that stand, And you will join in that singing. With angels that play on that band. God thought it best to tako her to him, To his bright hoavenly home, And you must meekly calmly say, "Not my will but thine be done." You have a mission on this earth, And when it is done, You can go to your Mary and God will say "Well done thou faithful ono." And may you live a Christian life, And may true and loving grace be given, So when God is ready to call you home, You will meet your loved ono in heaven. a Friend.

After tho lapse of some years she returned to get her money but there had been changes made and she had lost her landmarks and was unable to find it. So it re mained and a few days since the lucky finder happened to unearth it. We have always believed that the precious metals existed in the soil of Laurens, but wo would ad vise all parties not to expect to find it very uoar to their hands, but persistent digging and ecomony will bring it to light.
