According TO appointment, the men,

their friends, met Saturday morning, June
7lh, in the Crane grove, north Of Austin,
for the proposed picnic. The day was
delightful, and with croquet and chat, the
morning hours passed merrily. Lunch
time came, hidden boxes and baskets
came into sight, and gathering III groups
here and there, we spread our 6ainties on
the grccnsward, and while we ate, we
laughed and talked and cracked our
jokes Lunch over, we listened to the
reading of the articles contributed to the
second number of the Club Gazette, edited
by John Mathicson. The interest mani
tested by the audience showed that it
was appreciated. Some of the party
went boating, but pronounced the Way
rather muddy since the Cedar's recent
rise.
The afternoon hours sped all too swift

interest some micrOscopical illustrations
showing the difference between butter

between genuine butter and the patent

authority of The 2ural we find that, ia

of animal fats are converted into "butter''

the very existence Of the legitimate dairy

Masonic Picnic.

Pic-n,cs are now in order, June bciug

skceters, and creeping things, arc not as
plenty as late in the season. The Ma.
sons, with their families, will convene on
the west bank Of the Cedar, near the
mouth of the Turtle Creek, north and
east of the bridge. Efficient committees
have the management in hand, and we
are satisfied will see that the arrange

ried into execution. No summer pleas
uring is quite so perfect or so charminsly
informal as the picnic, whether it he
public or private. Besides your well,fil'-

blanket shawl, also any amount Of good
nature, with plenty of determination to
have good time, and our word for it, our
picnic will be a success.

THE latest styles Of ladies' and misses
hosiery at F. Kings.

Our readers will notice that, in this
number Of the TRANSCRIPT, Mr.. Oscar
Ayers asks attention to his very extensive
agricultural implement business. He is
handling large quantities of the best farm
machinery ever offered to the public, and
he is to be congratulated upon being in
a position to meet so fully the demands
of the fine farming country which is trib-
utary to this market. Mr.. Ayers is a
practical mechanic of many years expe-
riepce, and is, therefore, we'll adapted to
the business in which he is engaged. He
is also an old resident, with an estab-
lished character for capacity and square
dealing, which should make him favor
tie with the people. 1t is worth some
thing to man who wants to buy an arti-
Gle with The merits OF which he necessar-
lily cannot be very we'll acquainted, to feel
that he can safely trust in the judgment
OF the dealer and rely upon his represen-
ta,ions. Such a man Oscar Ayers has
proven himself to be, and none who
know him will hesitate 10 take his word
under any circumstances. Read what he
says in another column, and see if he has
not got something that you want.

Taxes.
Although taxes have not been as we'll
pail this year as last, still the difference
is 500 small as to be surprising when we
take into account the distressing tight
ness of the times the past year in Mower

Through the kindness Of the acting
County Treasurer, (Mrs. Ingmundson), we
give our readers this week a few figures
of the comparative collections covering
certain periods in 1878 and 1879.
The collections Of current tax from
March 1st, to May 3lst, inclusive, for
1878 and 10 were as follows:
1878 $Ol ,0O0O4
1879 47,5O1.G5

city to appropriate, we could manage to
celebrate in right royal manner.
After the immense assembly was quiet

ing named gentlemen as the committee
Rev. MI. Ankete]l, H. Griswold, J. Make
