1t is certainly cause of regret
that the Sunday schools and other
organizations of Martinsburg do not
take advantage of our own beautiful
park for their picniCs and other out

home institutions. 1t is true that the
street cars are not now in operation,
but picnics are not usually such urgent
affairs as that they cannot be post
poned for a few days or even weeks.
