The Fourth ON Forked tongue.

A very pleasant picnic was enjoyed by the
residents of Forked Tongue and Surface
creeks on the Fourth, at Mr.. Kennicott's
ranch, on Surface creek. No one sat down in
the custard pie, the ants did not colonize the
sandwiches. nor did the July bugs fall into
the lemonade, The fact that these usual
concomitants of picnic were wanting did
not, however, seem to have depressing in
fuence on the pic-nickers. M. stell, the
newly appointed constable, arrested several
pies and cakes in their transit across the table
and kept them in close custody. The other
bachelors to whom such dainties had become
tradition and myth, were of very material
assistance to him, SO much 80 in fact that by
8 p. m. the enemy had been routed with great
slaughter. Some very fine croqnet play
ing was displayed by the young ladies on
ground remarkable for the uniformity of its
unevenness. Hammocks and swings were in
great demand as Is customary. Not till after
the sun had set did the party break up, when
all left apparently we'll satisfied with their
Observance Of the day.
