Butts Argus May 19, 1877
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.
