The Institute Entertainment. I
A very i9teresting entertain
ment was given at the Female
College last Tuesday night, con
sisting of music, speeches, reei
r tations, etc. Prof. W. G. Brum
baugh, of Penn., made the first
speech. This gentl.inan is one of
the most progressive teachers and
distinguished educators of the
r age. Ile is a fluent, forcible spea
ker and his address was replete
with fine illustrations, and many
cogent reasons why our people
should be aroused on this great
question of education were given
by the speaker. After a song by
the choir, Prof. A. S. Smith of the
No:'rmal School, delivered a pleas.
ing and instructive address on the
subject of Mathematics. C. W.
Seals was then called on and made
a brief impromptu talk, after which
Miss Nellie Hughes, one of the
Institute party, appeared before
the audience in one of her inoom
parable recitations, which was re
ceived with rounds of applause.
The efforts of the young lady
showed that she was a natural
elocutionist, and that her educa
tion in that line had not been neg
lected. The solos sung by Misses
Lula Bridgeman and Lillian Fea
therston did credit to the fair
young choristers.
The success of the entertain
ment is due largely to Mr. G. G.
Gill, who prcpared the programme
and selected the music on a few
hours' notice.

''The Picnic on the Jlillrond.
EITor.s GUARninX
A; announced throuith your col
umns of the last issue a Picnic was
given the school children of Homer,
Athens and Gibbs on Webbs Creek,
two miles south of Athens, where
the railroad crosses said creek, last
Saturday the 25th inst. and a larger
crowd of pleasure seekers we have
never before witnessed at an occa
sion of this kind in Claiborne par
ish; nor do we remember to have
ever seen a crowd of such magni
tude so generally satisfied with the
recreation and pleasures of the day.
Maj. Beardsley had announced
through the columns of the GUAu
DIAN and JOURNAL that the train
would leave here at 8 o'clock a. m.
but as early as 6:30 a. m., gay
groups were seen emerging from
every quarter of the town, and,
with faces beaming with anticipat
qd pleasure, hurryinglipon light
and elastic footsteps in the direc
tion of the depot. The train back
ed up to the platform and the doors
were thrown open at 7:30; then a
scramble for seats began-seats for
a crowd of at least 250 people, com
posed of rollicking school children,
fond parents and teachers, hand
some young ladies, gallant young
men, a small sprinkling of old
bachelors and a few of thode nece.ý
sary evils in all social circles
dudes? The one passenger coaich
was crowded in a trice-crowded till
standing room was going at a pre
mium, then a freight car and two
flats, which were provided with
very comfortable seats, were soon
filled and the train moved away at
a rapid speed which soon drew us
up at the Athens depot, where
quite a crowd was waiting to come I
aboard. As stated above the train
was already crowded, but Mr. Jno.
Allen, the clever and affable con
ductor, managed to get them on
the cars and wedged together on
seats in a mysterious manner,
which suggested to the writer that
he had, at some past stage of life,
undergone some experience in the
business of sardine packing. A
short run of two miles landed us
at the Picnic ground on the south
bank of Webb's Creek. The crowd
began to disperse in every direc
tion; some to stroll through the
dense forest with sketch-book and I
pencil in hand; others to lounge
upon the well arranged seats be
neath the green and massive foliage
of giant hickory and oaks, talking
of-we know not what; others to
try what effect their coaxing pow
ers would have upon the tinny fam
ily to leave the bed of the sitream
and come ashore to add to the fes
tivities of the day; and still otht r
(who were the wiser portion of the
crawd) to look after the numerous
baskets, boxes, &c., wlhich were
taken from a SPECIAL car on our ar
rival at the grounds.
The train returned from Gibbs
about 10:30 a. m., bringing a large
addition to the already large num
ber of pleasure seekers, also the
Gibbs String Band. After that the
dancing began and, although Old
Sol's warm rays were penetrating
through the dense foliage overhead,
making folders of stand linnen col
lars and knocking the kinks out of
bangs, there was no cessation or
rest for the trippers of light fantas
tic toes, except for dinner, until
our departure for home.
At noon dinner, the most impor
tant 'feature of the occasion, was
announced, and for the next hour
all were thronged around the long
table which was literally loaded with
the choicest of edibles-edibles that
could not fail to satisfy the most]
epicurean taste in existence--edi
bles that the good house-wives of
Claiborne parish are famous for pro
ducing, the bountifulness of which
can be imagined when we say that
this crowd of fully 400 people had
their appetite fully appeased and
left enough good, wholesome and E
dainty food to feed a public gpther
ing at an Agricultural Expeimen- a
tal Station.
In the afternoon an election for a
Queen of May was called for, the
candidates to be selected from and
elected by the school children. The
ballots were cast, the result an
nounced and Miss Bettle Kelly, one
of Homer's little fair haired beau
ties declared election, and to Henry
Johnson was given the honor of
crowning her Queen of all the
he shades of evening were gath
ering in the east ere the train again
halted at this beautiful and pictur- (
esque sylvan scene to take aboard
its burdeh of human freight. All
were eager to return home, though,
it we be allowed to judgY from the
smiling faces andnimble forms that
crowded against each other in ef
forts to gain seats, we couldn't de
cide otherwise than that each and
every one of the party had exper
ienced a day of real enjoyment.
Even the one solitary " Buake Hun
ter," who to our certain knowledge
succeeded in finding at least one (
snake that day, looked as happy as
a lord. Sparkling wit, roars of
mirth and merry songsa were heard
on all sides aswe sped tbough the
Vtherlu gloom en route loe.
