to make us a talk, and Rev Mr
Bishop has also accepted an invitation

mon and Dr Mann of Florence, who 1

The old saying, "Into each life
some rain must fall"?and which,
Deing revised, would read, "Upon
iach picnic crowd some rain mast
fall"?was certainly fulfilled last
Saturday, much to the discomfort of
some of the jolly picnickers. The
lower grades had a picnic out at Mr
Fulton's, which was enjoyed by those
participating. The seventh, eighth,
ninth and tenth grades decided to
go a little farther and thus went to
that most delightful spot, the Red
Bill. Even if nothing else had been
snjoyed, the scenery would have
imply repaid any one for going.
On last Saturday morning about
;hirty-five eager little (?) hearts were
gladdened when they awoke and saw
;hat the weather promised to be fair.
For was this not the day that we
vere all to go to the loDg-talked-of ]
)icnic at the "Red Hill"? We first i
net at the school building?and it
nnet h?? nnrieratnnd that we were
cept straight bj the ever-watchful
cachers, Profs. Hall man and Bethea
md Miss Ross, who were the only
eachers present?and promptly at
cn o'clock one wagon started and
ben others followed.
It would have done any one good 1
0 be along and the happy
roices as they sang, "Dixie Land," ,
'Good-bye, My Lover, Good-bye," .
'Maryland," "Hang John Brown on
1 Sour Apple Tree," and other lively .
longs, as they drove along through .
,he picturesque fields covered with i
liasses of beautiful wild flowers. .
J
Since our wagon was somewhat de- ,
ayed, owing, to some mis- 1
inderstanding about ihe convey- ,
ances, it was rather late when we
started; and as it was a long drive,
sve got very hungry and, at the ''
suggestion of Borne very sensible per- ,1
son, opened one box of good things. *
Every one can readily imagine how
ive enjoyed that. Some of our more i
superstitious friends were delighted <
vhen they saw a ghost in the person j
)f a "scare-crow" in Mr Shaw's
lorufield. j
After reaching the grounds we all
flayed some games, even though
;here was an abundauce of caterpil- (
ars and lizards. Imagine our deight
when some one told us that c
Japtain Coustine was down there (
vith the ''Mercedes"! Nothing can s
more pleasant than drifting along j
ipon the glassy surface of Black ji
iver on a balmy spring day; and, ji

indeed, eome of the most enthusiastic
even remarked that they would
be willing to row down that beauti- '
ful stream forever, provided they
had a certain other person to row <
down it with them, A very caieless
remark! Then, after enjoying this
for a little while he steered for the
shore and there our teachers showed ?
us, much to our delight, I assure
you, that they could excel every one
fise in foot-races and rope-jamping. 1
Now came another good part of i
the day?the dinner. We had all
sorts of good things; such as chicken,
barbecue, rice, pickles, biscuits,
sandwiches, cakes, pies, crackers
and coffee. After dinner we had
another course; this time lemonade
and cake.
C'apt. Constine was then kind
inough to take as for another one of
those delightful trips ou the ,4Mersedes."
After landiDg again more
games were played and some of the
"older and more dignified ones"
went down to the river's brink to tell
Btories, trusting to this enchanting
spot to inspire them. And, indeed,
it certainly icaust have, for what
visible power on earth could cause
ill those things to happen in a certain
small mountain town, of which
the writer told? We then played a ;
few more games and sat down to rest j
ind to chat, mayhap the la9t time
forever at Black River.
We were all sorry when the low- I
sring clouds warned us that it was
time to set out for Kingstree again.
Nevertheless, we a)! got into the '
wagons and after going about a 1
mile, a heavy rain came and many ,
were the sun-hats which served a |
louble purpose?keeping off sun and '
ain. But this was part of the fuu, \
lod as it is a thing of the past uow,
we must ge0o work on a far less
pleasant subject?geometry examination.

three or four days, but no ar- ,
rests have been made. <

The school was taught by Mrs
