Last Wednesday about ten or twelve couples of young folks of the city en joyed a very pleasant picnic. The unique place at Floing's Mill, about five miles from here and on I)uncans Creek, was selected for the outing and there they went. As the old "straw ride" method of conveyanco secmned rather obsolete to the younger zealots of romance, two jitneys were provid ed for the occasion. The girls, as is their custom, brought well filled baskets and the boys say that "they got plenty to eat". Mrs. Dudley Young and Miss Annie Childress were the chaperones and the affair was in honor of Misses Gaffney and Tollison, of Gaffney, who are visit ing Miss E'lizabeth Young. Everything happened just right to make the occa sion enjoyable with the exceptions of a shower of rain and of one of the jit nies stalling while trying to "Ford" the creek. But they sahl these were "small skem ptions". Call and let us show you the larg est, most up-to-date and cheapest Nrted line of Baby Carriages to be found anywhere. S. M. & E. 1. WILKES & CO.
