Is quite an active business point, consid-
ering the modesty of its prstentions, and
being only removed four and half miles
from the Hub. 1t seems to have one ele-
ment, at least, Of strength and hopefulness
-idenlity, homogeneousness and self-re-
lance. Next 70 its3ehareh, its chief instr
tuition is its store. now. since the removal
of Treasurer Cook, run by Messrs. Watson
& Simmons. It is the place of general
resort and busy trade. OF course all this
requires liberal stock in trade, which it
has, as is apparent from its well filed
shelves. Another institution that cannot
well be overlooked, is its excellent band,
which enjoys full share of interest and
cleverness of attainment under the leader
ship of Prof. H. NJ. King, consummate
musician in almost any department. The
band has for a long time been one of the
best of the region. 1t gives character to
the place and while it attracts attention and
gives occupation to many of its young
people, it also gives pleasure to the whole
people and fosters their virtues. Dr. A.
D. Tilden is its physician, and looks after
the condition of the body physical, He
is Plymouth boy, and prepared himself
for practice in the Office OF. DR.. Hubbard.
He has large and paying ride, and en-
joys the favor and confidence of his fell
low citizens. Lenox has another institu-
tion which fuses and csments interest
among the honest yoemanry Of the locality

more common feeling and Interests
bond of friendship and protection,
and security to their individual well
fares and prosperity. Combination is the
order of the day, and something of that
kind among farmers isenOt only polite

they held picnic, which brought together |
a large number, and friendship snd kindly |
feelings weIe strengthened. An invitation |
to unite with them was received from Mr.. |
Ray-a patron of the Ielegraph-from
whom the corners-Ray's Corners-take
their name. This was cheerfully accepted |
but on second thought, we found that con-
nection could not be made with the train
to get home, and Sunday is not a favor
able day to be away from home. We had
therefore, reluctantly to decline the pleas
ure. We were impressed with the well-to-
do and intelligent character Of the people. |
of which we had an inkliDg from the in
creasing interest shown in the Telegraph |
and the assurances received that it had q |
warm place in the minds of those who
were enjoying its weekly visits. At some
future time we hope to be able to accept |
the hospitality of Lenox Grange, and en-
Joy the opportunity of a more extended
and familiar acquaintance.
The Grange of Lenox gave very pleas
ant picnic and ice cream festival on Satur-
day afternoon, June Is, on the grounds
Of Mr.. Jacob Tiseh, q mile south of Rays
Corners.
The day was fine, and the place chosen
4 beautiful shady grove. Kings COrnet
Band was on the ground and furnished ex-
eellent music and an abundance Of it.
Ice cream and strawberries were dishsd
put to the weary at the rate Of cts. per
dish. a,-s
Altogether the affair was decided sue
cess and many thanks are due Messrs.
Ray, Wire and Tisch, for their untiring
.xeration to make it such, and give US SO
pleasant an entertainment. oCCEE.
