To the Changers and the Public
Generally.

The following statement | deem to be
called for by the circumstances. Keep
Ing stands at picnics is 4 part OF my
regular business and in accordance with
usage | applied for the privilege OF
keeping 4 refreshment stand on the
grounds selected for the grange picnic
on the Sth of August. This was refused
me by Mr.. Sanders (who seems to have
had control of the grounds.l lie said
he had leased the exclusive right to
Monroe q Co. Upon application TO
them they refused to let ne in. | don't
believe the Graugers uphold such +
state ofatiairs. nor do l pretend to hold
them responsible. Yet somebody is re-
sponsible, and the blame should lie Just
where it belongs. Il is asserted that |
had the exclusive privilege ut the Fourth
of July picnic and refusedt to allow any
one to come on the grounds. This |
pronounce an HNnsiiJG'cd tnlseh0oi,
which may be asccrtained by consulting
the committee Of arrangements for the
Fourth OF July celebration. As | said
before, | deem this statement necessary,
in justice 10 myself, and to relnte the
impression that is studioUsly attempted
to be spread abroad that I am irving to
cast discredit on the grange or
ganization. | would say TO my grange
friends and to all others, that | will
have a stand near the entrance 10 the
grounds. where everything in my line
al be obtained at reasonable rates, and
| hope to receive Il share of the patron
age of those in attendance.
