And the Judge is correct in his opinion, A Delightful Picnic. One of those rare, old-fashioned, old timed, really enjoyable country pics nica, came off last Friday on the Och lockonee river, back of the Mesury place. The place is an ideal one for a picnic. Mr. Masury—generous man that he was—several years ago con structed a good road to the place, and put the grounds in excellent shape for such occasions. By 11 o'clock nu merous buggies, carriages and other vehicles had deposited a gay and hap py throng intent upon having a good time—and they had it. At 1 o’clock replendid dinner was spread and everyone did ample justice to the choice grands. In the afternoon the party drove back to Cleveland Park, where the stately country mansion and the beautiful grounds were ad mired. Among others who helped to make the occasion a success and added to the enjoyment of the outing were Mesara, A. C. Wright, C.J. Norwood, Ranzom Wheeler, John Farrier, Thos, Davis, Jeff Wheeler and their fami lies. It was a most congenial party. The silver question and the low price of cotton were forgotten as these stur dy citizens cat around under the spreading trees and discussed their splendid crops and the neighborhood news.

Wah Hoochee, the Indian preach er, continues to draw immense crowds to his camp meeting near the base ball park, and the interest on the part of the colored people is unabated. Services were held all night Saturday night and all day Sunday, and the crowd taxed the capacity of the large arbor under which the services are held at each service. Sunday after noon and night large crowds of white people were present, the majority gow ing merely out of curiosity to see the Indian and hear him preach. Well have heard much better sermons than those delivered by Wah Hoochee, but we have never seen any one work up ‘as much excitement and enthusiasm among the colored people as he. He has large numbers of them shouting at every service. Interest in his meeti ing does not seem to lag, but is rath er on the increase and the meetings will be continued through the eek. Parson Smith, the Sandy Bottom preacher, assists the Indian in con ducting the meetings. The Thomasville baseball club, first nine, will go down to Monticello this morning to play ball with the Monticello boys.

The Thornsville nine will be composed of the following young men: Roy De kle, Chas Pittman, Horace Bouchelle, Joe Smith, Harry Linton, Duncan Barbee, Ardis McDougald, Preston Marion and Tom Davenport. The Plant System has given a reduced rate for the round trip, and no doubt a good crowd will go down, if as many as fifteen to twenty go down a rate of one dollar will be given, if more than that number seventy-five cents.

And it contains one of Garnet’s poets ical effusions in which the beauties and attractions of the G, S, F, are quaintly told.
