THE German picnic tomorrow will
be an occasion Of special importance
with our Teutonic friends, and We hope
will be svailed of by our citizens gener-
ally us affording an opportunity for fra
termination wholly without Influences,
such as last year made similar affairs a
speciality with political aspirants. The
Germans of Memphis are among our
best and most industrious citizens, and
they deserve the good offices and neigh
borly attentions Of their fellow towns
men without regard to nationally, creed
or previous condition.

PRAYER for the Business Man

was virtual ruler of the empire. But
amidst all the cares of office he main
tanned his wonted custom of praying
thrice a day. dan. Is. l0.) For these
prayers nothing was neglected. The
