GIVE MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
Delightful Day Spent In Oak Grove at Kellyton.
Kellyton, June 16.—(Special.)—Yesterday evening the young people of Kellyton gave a moonlight picnic in Oak Grove. In response to the invitations sent out to the neighboring towns, quite a large number of both young people and old were there to take part in the various games and amusements. The grove, which was beautifully lighted with Japanese lanterns, and adorned with many floral decorations, presented a very beautiful scene. Refreshments were served. The evening's entertainment was enjoyed by all.
Prof. R. D. Webb of Auburn, who has been spending a few days with his parents, left yesterday for Chicago, where he will take a summer course in Chicago university.
Misses Carl Leonard and Mattie Lou Parker of Alexander City are visiting friends here.
