a picnic in the pleasant grove near his resi-

and half a mile from Page City. Last year
Was All exception. The picnic cost SO much
labor and expense, and so few tried 10 share
them with the Old gentleman that he conclu-
ded not to trouble himself. 1t had, however,
been par.ezcelleace, the social occasion of the
county. the people complained. and Uncle
Joe again put his shoulder to the wheel.
AS in the past his picnic always eXcelled
every other, so this year he desires that
everybody shall be there, not only from
every part Of Lafayette county. but from
our neighboring counties as well. All are
invited. Come. Com from everywhere /.
Bring your sweethearts, bring your wives,
bring your babies bring baskets plentifully
provided. Come to dance. to listen to the
music, to talk 'crips'' and politics. Come

The quickest and most comfortable route
from Lexington to Chicago is Via Higgins
vile and the Chicago n Alton railroad.
Passengers can leave Lexington at 1:l5 p.
m on the Missouri Pacific railroad, and
connect ut HIggInsviIle with the Chicago
fast express of the Z. Il A. X. X arriving
at 2:3O p. In. next day-only 10 hours on the

Jefferson City Tribune - "In another
column will be found a letter from Xenophon
Ryland, defending himself against the
charge In the Kansas City Times of trickery,
while presiding over the convention during
the ballot that resulted in the defeat of Mr..
f. 4. holland, and the nomination Of Phil +.
ChappeIl Tor state treasurer. Such u dis
clalmer was altogether unnecessary, for
there is not q man In this state who knows
MIR. ltyland, who does not know that he Is
the very soul of honor. and that no tempta-
ton TO serve a friend, or punish an enemy,
could be placed before him to induce him. TO
swerve a hairs breadth from the line of
duty"
