Last Saturday being a fine day for a picnic it seems that every body in the neighborhood of Sandy Spring turned out to have a good time. The attraction of the morning was the Odd Fellows turn out, which was w'ell carried out. They were address ed by Rev. J. M- Daniels, of Selma, and he certainly did make a nice talk, and when he had finished it looked as if everybody was sorry that it was so short. When the 0>!d Fellows had dis banded, there came the special at traction of the day, in the foim of a picnic dinner, and judging by the length of time the people tarried at the table it must have been a very good one. From eight o'clock to eleven that night, the school children entertained quite a large crowd, and thanks to the teacher, Miss Rosa Pender, the entertainment was well planned and nicely carried out. The only sadness that the day brought to the hearts of the people was that it took from them the two teachers, Miss Rosa Pender and Miss Manolia Creech, who have warmed themselves into the hearts of the Sandy Springs people and they will be greatly missed this summer. HORSE STRAYED. On April 21st there came to my residence a sorrel mare 5 years old, weighing about 900 pounds with blaze face, scar on right hip and over right eye, back sore and thin in flesh.
