A DAY IN TilK COUNTRY. The Cove Sunday School. A Ple-nie Among rne Mount ains—Beautiful Scenery— Splendid Spring's of Ice Cold Water, and plenty of Good Tilings to Hat. The recreation of a day spent in the. country is certainly very enjoyable to the cooped up In habitant of a town or city. A polite invitation from the Superintendent of the Cove Sun day School—our genial young friend Air. James I. Potts—to at tend a pic-nic to be given last Saturday by his school, away up in the spur of mountains known as the Carrion Crow Ridge, there fore brought anticipations of a good time to ye editor. So when the day arrived we were on hand. Arriving at the Cove School house we found that the school, some SO or 90 in number, had just formed in line and taken up their line of march to the spot chosen for the pic nic. Joining the superintendent, we brought up the rear, and after a drive of some two miles up Galla Creek, through a canon or moun tain gorge, the procession came to a halt. Here we all dismounted, the route being no longer practi cable for the passage of wheeled vehicles, and even the footman having to make careful selections lor ni« muting lixu mggeu and picturesque mountain side along which we wound our way. Finally after passing up the Creek on foot for perhaps half a mile, we found ourselves at the locality se lected for the festivities. And to the lover of the grand and pictur csqc scenery of nature, this wild and romantic spot was certainly full of interest. Threading its way through the narrow mountain pass, dashing and sparkling over its rocky bed, wound the creek, on the very banks of which our grounds were chosen. Rising high above on cither side, tower ed the rugged mountain summit. Proceeding from the foot of the rugged bights on our right and close to the ground cleaned off for the exercises, issued a clear, sparkling, ice-cold spring which furnished abundance of water to the thirsty multitde. Huge blocks and slabs of stone scattered around, and no doubt in ages past detached from the frowning cliffs above, served for tables on which to store the bas kets; and one large flat slab ele vated some two feet from the ground made the stage or ros trum from which the exercises were delivered. We found a concourse of some .'100 people on the ground consis ting of the Cove Sunday School, and the parents and friends. A beautiful banner tastefully trim med, and bearing the motto “Con sider the lillies of the Field,” on one side, and “The Cove Sunday School” on the other, was planted between two rocks and formed a handsome back ground. i»i p. nauihd.'i.ui,.

The opening address of Sir. j Neely Oates was creditable in 1 deed and delivered with ease and i elegance. The essays by Missct Lizzie Bradley aud Bcttie Brown were read in a ch ar, distinct tone. (They were tastefully gotten u; and contained sweet sentiments, The speeches bv Mr. Ollie Pat rick and Mi s Sallie Furguson weie highly creditable.

The sing ging by the choir was creditable in a high degree. It echoed in such sweetness as was never heard before in the romance ol that beautiful mountain scenery. But just before leaving the pic nic grounds about a dozen of the little girls perched themselves up on a large rock at an elevation of 150 feet on the side of the moun tain and sang the sweetest piece of the day. Their voices rang clear and sweet along the gentle murmuring stream beneath. Ta ken all together the occasion was a most happy one. And the zeal, energy and taste displayed by Mr. James Potts, the superinten dent, is worthy of the highest commendation. If there were more of such influences at work and more of such examples set, tlie world would he the better for it. _ _ —Robt. Dale Owen has become insaife over spiritualism. —Edward A. Warren, one of the old and highly esteemed citi zens of Arkansas died at Prescott oil Sunday the 27th ult. —Washington, Hempstead county, was visited by a disas trous conflagration on the 3d inst.

All are in vited to attend, —Read the letter headed “A suggestion,” written by Inauditus. We heartily concur in all that In auditus says on this subject. We see no reason why Pope county should not have a good fair every fall. It would certainly be a good stimulant to our farmers and stock raisers. -■•©• —Here’s from Dardanelle—we got it from a good friend of ours from that growiko town (and a subscriber) who, in company with his wife, from whom he got it, passed through our town last Monday; in five days last week there were fifteen babies and one ditto born in Dardanelle. Where’s : the town that can beat it? —Look out, they arc coming! We take pleasure in recording the arrival in our town of Mr. F. Neidig, an intelligent, wide-awake German, who is looking up a loca tion for a vineyard. Mr. Neidig has looked around our country some and says he is well enough satisfied with appearances to risk it for his future home. We welcome Mr. Neidig and all his friends who may be seeking new homes to our county, and hope they may never have cause to regret their choice. Russellville, June 27, 1875. Mm Editor: I left home last Saturday for the purpose of ex tending the borders of the order of Good Templars in the region beyond Dover. Here, at the table of my old true and tried friend, J. 0. Kye, I satisfied an angry ap petite with everything good to the taste. From this place in company with ('apt. Hollow, (a true friend of humanity) and other friends interested in spreading the cause of temperance and bringing comfort, peace and pros j perity into the families of many, who by the free use of whiskey, have known everything that makes up wretchedness and mis ery. We reached Scottsville (a place proverbial for intoxication) in due time, and found pleasant [quarters at Mr. J. F. Hale’s, who by the way is the chief officer and a practical granger of the lodge at this place (Scottsville.) We all shared of the hospitalities of our friend Mr. Hale (which were by no means scarce) who with others, did all they could to har monize our efforts and make our mission one of success, which was grandly realized in the number initiated of good men and women who all seemed eager to seize the opportunity ns one favorable to Scottsville and community for be ginning life anew, by endeavoring ! to raise the fallen, prevent others from falling, drying up the tears and relieving the groans of the i unfortunate mother, and misera ble child of the inebriate, j A K.
