Sandersville Progress July 14, 1903
  Mr. Editor: Hundreds of young ladies since the picnic at Brooks Springs on 
the fourth, can exclaim in the language of the ancient general: "Veni Vidi 
Vici." They were just so lovely and charming the boys just couldn't help but 
surrender. Well hundreds did leave cares behind them, and spend a joyous day in 
the beautiful wild woods, by the gugling waters of the health giving springs, 
under the dense shades of the great trees. What a romantic place, under the 
shade of the gigantic trees, by the ice cold waters of the rippling springs, 
the feathered songsters, above bursting their throats with joyous songs, the 
handsome blonde and brunette telling the same old, old new story, to rosy lips, 
peach blown cheeks dreamy languishing eyes in woods of sweeter music than the 
last strains of the dying swan or munnon or the heavenly choir. So the day went 
at the springs. Soft eyes did look love to eyes which spake again. And all went 
merry as a marriage bell.
  When dinner came the long tables groaned under the loads of viands. Dishes to 
tempt the appetities of every body. The most fastiduous expicure the gods 
themselves.
  Good bye blessed picnic, you will leave in memory as a great measure, filled 
to over flowing, with bright, happy, joyous, sparkling hours.
