| icks City's gross immortality
"This fall there will be another whiskey
picnic held on Sunday again at the Brick
| Yards under the supervision of the Chict OF
Police. The colored people are Inyitcd."
1t would strike the casual reader that there
is nothing exceptional in the aboye and that
the "whiskcy picnic held on Sunday" has
come to be one of the stated events among
Frederick City's autumnal happenings: if so
it should be whispered between friends and
not proclaimed from the housc-tops.
