f.Tsni Picnic Grounds-rhs Big
Picnic on Monday.

There is less OF pyrtechnics each sue
| ceeding year, in the celebration OF the
anniversary of the nations natal day,
! but always sufficient TO keep reporters
hustlng while everybody else is having
a good time. The shop windows show
the usual quantity aud infinite varieties
of Jackson crackers aud bombs, but the
crop of accidents will probably not be
as large as usual, owing to the dimin-
ished size OF the family purse. The
old-fashIoned Fourth is thing or the
| past, aud celebrations Of that nature
are the exception, rather than the rule.

! dence Day, is In family reunions, or pub
! lie picnics, and this year affairs or this
