pioneers be held at the Williams
port schoolhouse on Monday, Sept. 10,
and that special invitation is extended
to the pioneers, and a cordial invitation
to all. Look out for the program next
week But perhaps the following letter;
from one of the ladies who are moving
in the matter, will give better idea of
the proposed picnic:
eve inteud to hold a pioneer picnic at
the Williamsport schoolhouse on Tues:
day, Sept. 13. We wish you would kindly
give notice Of it in your paper. We ex-
tend hearty invitation to all the early
settlers or old-timers all over the county.
I mean those who were here at the time
the county was organized, or before; and
if those who came laler wish to take part
they are welcome to do so. Let every one
bring baskets full of good things to eat
Let us have general turn out, and make
it one of the most enjoyable events IN
the history Of the county. We have Sc
lected the 18th inst. on account of it being
the sixth anniversary of the marriage of
Dan Williams one Of Williamsport's s
earliest settlers-who will also be with US
at that time. We. Want to arrange to
hold these picnics annually"

Please accept our many thanks .
For that charming little tale,
Which was written OF the youths
Living now in IIampton's vale.
Are we not like many others,
In some more favored cline,
If it makes our hearts beat quicker
just to see our names IN rhyme?
Most Of us are still quite small:
But, then, we're growing fast.
And it need cause no surprise
If we are Presidents at last.
One Of US, you say, is working
with his father on the claim. -
Work, It's true, is always plenty;
But it leaves small chance for fame.
Still some others, who are hoping
To be favored with great wealth."
May not find the gold forthcoming,
But are blessed with perfect health.
Then, our schoolma' am in the valley
BY the way, we have, here, two;
What became Of gentle Alice,
When the muses. courlcd you'll
There What bit Of fattery ...
You gave to one who's dressed
In the height of cowboy fashion,
In this "Wild and Woolly West"
You've not the least idea
How it makes IL fellow feel,
When he mounts "bucking broncho'
And throws ir the quirt and steel,
To have some pretty maiden
Clap her hands in joy and pride,
And eXclaim, in sweetest accents,
"Oh just sec that cowboy ride p
Every troop must have u leader g
Whether man, or boy, or girl.
And incomplete would be our band
Without our little Pearl.
Where will you find a company
With jewel so fair and bright,
Who is ever brave and fearless,
STRIVING always to do right?
And for riders and runners,
And jolly girls and boys,
Where will you find little band
Who make bigger noise?
Or have more fun in shorter timcp
Or find more stony hills to climb?
Or shoot more chickens at time?
Or get more candy for dinner
Than Your LITTLE FRIENDS
