Picnic and Fishing Party – Smith’s Mill

A fishing party on Saturday, the 19th, at Smith’s Mill, one mile north of the Spring. We would like to enjoy a real old style “fish fry” but bearing the young folks will do most of their fishing on terra firma, let us all go with baskets filled with spring chickens and Georgia biscuit, which are not bad to take after a ramble up and down the rocky hills. Come one come all, and let us have a nice happy time.

…………………………………………….


As we stated in our last, the picnics and fishing parties have begun, and not in view of the hard times, everyone has been well attended by the young people, and much enjoyed by all.

Mr. Colbert, of Ocmulgee Mills, informs us that there will be one of the grandest fishing parities of the season at the place on the 4th Saturday in this month. Everybody and their neighbors are invited to attend. This will undoubtedly be a success, as our informant tells us that some of the best citizens of Dublin district, has taken the fishing party by the horns, and everything will be arranged to make the crows enjoy themselves. Many thanks for an invitation, and an assurance that we would have “our name in the pot.”

The next picnic on record is to be given at Blanton’s mill, in Spalding county, near the line of Butts on the 4th Saturday in this month, where everything that is toothsome will be on hand. A large crowd is expected, and much pleasure anticipated.
