The pic-nic at Bea's fishery Tuesday
w'aa happy success. 'Happy is the word.
Happy were the children. Happy were
the hundreds of bright young luces that
roamed the beach and "Looked love to
eyus ibat spake again." Happy were the
fond mothers and staid old dads who re
membered, and fondly remembered, Low
it was once with them. Happy were the
good houaewiyes, Ood bless them all,
whose bulging baskets of good things
gave oheer and comfort to the inner muu.
ouch as only the tired pic-uicker could
enjoy to the full. A vote of thanks is due
Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Kta for their genial
hospitality. They kept ope i house and
made the multitude more than welcome
they made it happy. And what shall I
ay of their charming daughters, aud the
bevy of pretty girl frieuus, their guests
from Edeuton, who lent the indescribable
harm of their auuny presence to enliven
and beautify the scene ? I call on Bob
Johnston to come to my rescue, I would
ask Teddv Blount also, but I do not desire
. to tell tales out of school. And there were
the pleasures peculiar to those of those of
'the older sort: the sweet converse; the
reminiscent hour, so sweet to those who
love to look backward over the retreat'ng
ndB of life a ioug traveled road. And
there was the address by Col. Bessley.
How pathetic the sight as his few out
comradeB gathered at his feet aud Iisteued
with loving interest as be told in his in
imical way of tie deeds of valor and he
roic sacrifice of the nobie men who wore
the gray. Then came the brief address of
Mr- H. L. Freeman, who surprised manv
by the simple eloquence with which he
told the story of the aims and purposes
vl that riPing young order, "The Chaira-
ble Brotherhood " The people were there
from every nook and corner of the county.
The young and the old, the rich and the
poor; men of low degree and ail, but
there was but one watch-word in all that
tnized multitude of Washington county's
good people ''Happy." Aud as tfca
evening sun tipped the rippling waves of
the historic old Albemarle v. ith its fiilver
Sheen, we gathered together many basket
full of the rragoieuts of joy, that nothing
hould be lost, and wended our ways
homeward, feeling that it was indeed good
to have been ther?.

was out ridliug his wheel recently he passed
by the home of his best girl. On attempt

Quite a laughable Occident occurred here

young rueu set out to buy a pig. They
succeeded iq procuring the pig after Rjme
trouble, but h was a noisy oue, his squeals
frightened their mule which ran away
throwing one of them from the cart. He
was uninjured, but his hat was found hang
ing iu a tree at the gate of his best girl,
said hat will be retained upon description
by owner.
Indications at present are that the price
of apples will go up iu tbi near future.
