there on the coming 4th for picnic
The Committee ofArrangements think
it best that no table should he spread
and the feasters waited upon, but they
suggest that each family by itself, or
clubbing with its neighbor, provide
what it wishes and spread its cloth up
yonder wherever ii pleases. We wish
the occasion to be observed as democrat
ically ~ possible. There will be good
talking, inspired 10y the scenery about
liz. No powder is 10 be burnt or gas
exploded. Let us all be there, enjoy
good time, and thus and in other ways
commit ourselves to the building of the
road. The Committee of Survey are
already prepared to report.
