The barn of Geo L. Heisler, on the Ken road
was burned, with most of its contents, last
Thursday afternoon. 1t was a SIN all bank barn
and no e, and especially no fire had be en- in
the upper part of it for several days. The build
ing was covered with an iron roof, and there
was no cupOla or other ventilation above tn e
doors, and these were closed. About three loads
of wbat is known as big clover had be en- put in
the barn and was undergoing the sw eating
process. and it is supposed it was case of spon-
tangous combustion. MIR. Heisler had been in
the lower part of the barn. hitched up his horses
and W as driving away from it. going to his work
hauling gravel. When he got few rods away
he noticed his neighbor air. Hough coming
towards him driving quite fast! and swinging
his hand and motioning for some purpose. but
he did not now for what, and it was not until
he got near enough to tell hi m that he knew th q
barn was n fire. They at once went back and
got out all that was in the lower part of the
barn, but the roof and all the upper part of the
barn was in flames when they got there. Mr..
Rough says the first they noticed was the smoke
from the roof, and in a few minutes the flames
burst out from the whole upper part of the barn
The building and contents were insured in the

Mr.. A. G. Kent, Lake Brady:
Your kind letter of the 7th, addressed to
me as president of the first annual picnic
of the business men of Ravenna and to all
of Ravenna's business men is received.
am sure that l voice the sentiments of ev-
cry one of my business associates in ac-
knowledging your courtesy and that we all
feel that your own liberality and the gem
erous treatment extended to us on the oc-
caSion of our picnic by yourself, helped
largely to make our first annual picnic the
grand success it was. 1t occurred to me
ON the day of the picnic that it was fitting
and eminentIy proper on our part, to make
public acknowledgment of your kindness
and llberality. But the vast throng of
pleasure seekers, the constant changing,
etc., did not present a suitable opportunity
at that time. Therefore l am glad of this
opportunity and in the name of the Raven
ma Business Mems Picnic association, allow
me to tender you our profound thanks for
the coultesies extended. Also in this con-
nection 1 want to make public acknoW-
ledgment thanking our business associates
of Kent for their kindly cooperation in
closing their places of business and joining
with us in the festivities of the day. Also
to all our friends and acquaintance for
this generous response to our invitation, as
their presence assured US of their willing
ness to help make our picnic success,
which it was. 1t is source OF regret
to me that there is and has been for long
time, so little friendly and social inter-
course between US, the citizens of the twin
cities, Kent and Ravenna. This should
not be so. Our interests are very closely
allied. Gatherings of the kind recently
held are mutually profitable and pleasant.
They bring US together and tend to make
us better friends and neighbOrs. The
world is large and there is room for all.
The pleasure OF social intercourse should
not be sacrificed in the rush and hurry af-
ter the almighty dollar. L feel warranted
in pledging you the hearty support and en-
couragement of every business man in Ra-
VIENNA and our citizens without exception.
Feeling coufident that under your generous
and liberal management, Lake Brady Re-
sort will continue to be more and more at
tractive and become one more of the prom
inent and permanent attractions of our al
ready beautiful surroundings, | am
Yours Very Truly,

A. G. Kent, of Lake Brady Resort, and d.
M. Clewell, president of the first annual
picnic of the Ravenna business men:
LAKE BRADY, August Z, 1891.
ID. NJ. Clewell, President, and all Business
Men of Ravenna:
Iwrite you to congratulate you on the
immense success of your first business
mems picnic at Lake Brady yesterday and
to assure you of my appreciation of your
most hearty and liberal support in my eff
fort to build up this place. Feeling that
you grasp the fact that the development of
the beautiful lakes that Nature has placed
at your door is a step toward further de-
veloping the beauties of your already
pretty town, especially the lakes that are
accessible by railroad, as it brings into
your vicinity business men and representa-
tives of manufacturing enterprises from
the different large cities that surround Raw
emma and trust that the conduct and man
agement of the place will be such that you
can point to it with pride as one of the
business enterprises that have come to stay.
Again thank you for the cordial support
that Ravenna has shown me from the
start and trust that our future relationship
will result to our mutual benefit. You
can rest assured that you are always well
| come. Yours Sincerely,

of the donkey. the condition of affairs was ex-
actly reversed; but as John is sensitive,we won't
say anything further about the matter.
Great numbers remained to attend the dance
in the evening. and the terpsicorean devotees
lost themselves in the gay whirl of the bewitch-
ing art. in happy Oblivion to the high registering
thermometer. Mr.. Kent kindly told the Mer-
chants Committee they might have what they
could make from the dance. and in this way they
secured $40 90 as a nucleus for picnic fund next
year.
The affair was great success. and afforded
day of enjoyment to thousands of people. Now
that the ice has been broken.we hope and expect
that Merchants Picnic will be one of the an
nual events of our city. and be permanent in
stitution among us.
