PIC-NSC AT BELL'S SCHOOL HOUSE.
A Most Delightful Occasion That Will
Long bo Remeiabsred.
Reported for The Cotr.mor.weahli.
Last Friday at what is familiarly
known as Bell's School House a pic
nic was given by the young men of
the community and the surrounding
country in honor of Misses Lelia
House and Kate Joyner, just on the
eve of their departure for the sum
mer school of the East Carolina
Teachers Training Schook -
The day was perfect, the place
ideal, the occasion most successful
and enjoyable. The sun rose early
in a clear, blue sky, caressing the
whole country.' with its generous
and genial brightness, giving every
promise of a beautiful and glorious
day. Ere he had run far in his
course, numerous friends of the
guests of honor were wending their
way to their journey's end, toward
the scene of their delightful antici
pation. From far and near, through
devious paths and changing scenes,
o'er hill and vale, through, alternate
light and shade, they came, all with
one object in view, one purpose in
mind, one heart to enjoy the many
pleasures they knew the day would
offer. Maids and matrons arrayed
in all the height of summer fashion,
displaying all the colors that would
greet the eye at the most popular
summer resorts, gathered under the
wide spreading trees that graced
and beautified the particular locali
ty, and with them gathered men,
young and old; for the time, the
place, and the girl were all at
"Bell's," and where she was want
ing they were not.
The morning hours were spent in
friendly greetings, good-natured ca
jolorie, conversations intensified and
otherwise, and so pleasant were they
that the noon hour arrived while yet
the happy crowd was unaware of its
approach. Mrs. J. A. Staton was
the mistress of ceremonies, and too
much cannot be said in prah:e of the
graceful and delightful manner in
which she presided over the table.
The dinner was appetizing rnd vivi
fying, as bountiful as either, enjoy
able beyond all measure. There was
nothing wanting, yet when it was all
over there was little left.
The afternoon hours were filled
with music and dancing. Music, was
furnished by the famous Edgecombe
String Band, led by its noted leader,
Professor Lucius LeRoy. Every
body participated in the dancing r.nd
the hours were ail too short that
passed ere the sun went down and
the dancing had reared and the
music hushed. Night threw its
mantel of darkness over what had
been the seene of so much light,
laughter and mirth, silence usurped
the throne of sound, yet in the
hearts of those who had gone linger
ed still the memory of what had
been, brightening their live.-, with its
sweet impressions, and in the ears
of their imagination lingered the
sweet music that had thrilled with
its melody and rhylhm.
The day will long be remembered.
Many a time and oft will those who
enjoyed it in fancy wander back to
the scene of so much pleasure, and
live over again the joys tiiat were
theirs, the new experiences that
added zest to life, and think with
thankfulness of the friendship? that
were made. In their fancy will
they wander there. The owl with
his discordant notes may fill the air
with something other than m?lody.
the whippcrwiU may sound his plain
tive call, never wearying, though in
vain he waits for an answer that
comes not. but those in their fancy
wandering will hear only the sounds
of harmony and melody that beat
upon their ears that happy day; in
their mind's eye will they see only
the sights that gladdened their
hearts, and in their hearts v.'id they
feel again that peaceful content
ment, that quiet enjoyment, that had
their thrones their Yesterfriday.
