famous Masonic Picnics, for
from two sections of Davie
County we have accounts of
gatherings of young people, one
in May, 1883, and the other in
August of that year, while the
Masonic Picnic was held on July
25th. The first picnic listed is
one held at County Line on May
5, 1883. We quote as follows:
"As announced in the "Times"
there was a picnic at this place
on Saturday, May 5th. There was
a large crowd present, it being
part of the programme to crown
a May Queen chosen from Miss
Mattie Gunter's school at this
place, which was to be deter
mined by the vote of all present.
Of course a great many of the
beauties of Iredell & Davie were
present, and also many of their
anxious admirers, each one of
course being very solicitious that
his favorite should be the happy
recipient of the honor. The
election- which excited consider
able interest resulted in the selec
tion of Miss Nora Fleming , of
Davie. Several young ladies re
ceived nearly as large a .vote as
the successful one, among them
being Misses Bettie Ellis, Cora
Turner, and Laura Tomlin, - of
the 'Eighties was E. W. Mooring,
and the office was located over
Vic Moss harness shop, which
was a two-story building about
where J. T. Angell's Store now
stands. Under the date of May
25th, 1883, is found this para
graph: "The committee have de
cided to hold the Masonic picnic
this year in the grove near the
bfrick school house just a half
mile from Mocksville. Prof. W.

1883, is this item: .. "The com

same on Friday, J uly 27th". The
date seems to have been7 moved

Masonic picnic, July 25th". The
next copy at hand, July 6th,
1883, does not mention the com
ing red-letter day, but in the
July 27th number is this account :
"The Picnic was a grand success.
