condition? This July air is in cur
bones. 1t is a time to lie and doze;
time to let ones ideas go in dreamy and
dlsjointed procession through ones
head, coming out of nowhere; born OF
no effort, guided by no will and drifting
confusedly into the boundless nowhere
again. 1t is a time when one wants to
be away even from the din of village
life, and amid nature enjoy the beauty
which she has treasured in her wood
land home.
A picnic at the noted Raven Rocks, IN
WAYNE township, was the attraction ON
the Fourth for many Of the people oil
Belmont and Monroe counties. A
thousand people were in attendance,
and the day much enjoyed. The beau
tiful and romantic scenery added much
/ 10 the pleasures of the occasion. The
orators of the day were Revs. Hollis
ter and King and DR.. Stewart,
whose able addresses were listened 10
with the greatest attention.
