until "Wednesday, the Goth inst, Of course,
this is Disappointment to those Of our peo-
pie who had made arrangements to go
to-day, but we trust that their disappoint-

next Wednesday. If we remember nightly
it took not less than fourteen coaches to
accommodate the people young and old,
who attended the picnic Of the club last
year and this time the attendance should
be fully as large or even larger and each
head of the family should not forget to
tote along basket full of eatables and
after arriving there, no matter if he does

Or sets the cake where ants abound;
For nothing mars the happy moments
