should like to tell you of the pisca-
torial excursions to which it has been
my pleasure to be a party-especially
of the last one when We had that supper
by the river side. Some of the ladies'
cleaned and made ready the fish, on a
log, while others prepared hot skillet
with butter, on nice fire-made by a
gentleman of the party. Then such a
cracking of frying fish, and the smell
thereof, mingled with the delicious
aroma of boiling coffee. Well, that
was a supper much relished, and
enough to make your mouth water to
think of. Then there was the drive
home at the lovely sunset hour, and
in the twilight.
NY trip en- route for this place had
some things connected with it, of which
would like to tell you too, but as well
as taking up time and space, these
things might not interest you, there
fore will reserve them for a rainy
day in the future. / would especially
like to tell you of a convention of wise
heads-editors- was held here,
and of the doings thereat, but it so hap
pened that the CRUSADERS held State
Convention at the same time; as l am
more interested in the Temperance
