A band of music came from Macon yesterday to attend the
picnic. A large crowd of women were present to grace the occasion. The grounds
on which the festivities were held lay a mile off and in sight of all. In the
evening a Bowery dance was one of the pleasures enjoyed. “The Girl I Left
Behind Me,” was about all they could play, and that very poorly.
