THE PICNIC AT HEUCK's.

The birthday picnic at Heuck's Re
treat last Friday, given in honor of the
SD birthday of 'Uncle" Isaac Lamb
drew a very large crowd and passed of
very pleasantly. indeed. The only
thing which cast a shadow over the oc.
casion in the least was the inoppor,
tune illness of Mr.. Lamb himself, which
prevented his attendance. However
he was visited at his home near by by
many of the picnickers, and loving
lady relative presented him with a
beautiful birthday cake; while Mr.
Elias Bowsky, OF Brookhaven, present
ed the old gentleman with neat new
coat and waist coat. Two other octo-
genarians, Mr.. j. M. Johnson, of Fair
River, aged so, and Mr.. Jonathan Rials
of Wellman, aged so, honored the oc-
casion with their presence and were as
active as most men at so.
We have never seen better order
than was observed on this occasion
The dinner spread by the ladies was
elegant and bountiful, and, as he sur,
veyed it, one could not help wonder
ing if something else besides the hope
of winning votes does not attract the
large crowd of smiling candidates to
such places. Verify, the good people
of Heuck's Retreat are hard to beat on
picnic.

deed. She was a member of Arlington
Church, and one of its most sincere
workers. She was never known to
speak evil of any one. Her life was a
steady, consistent, onward movement,
that did not depend upon outward cir
cumstances, for her life was hid with
Christ in God, a beautiful, symmetri-
Cal Christian life. Such life closes
by triumphant passing away, not by
death. She called the family in, had
them to take their places near her bed

six months, so she could see them. She

assured her stricken husband that ''all

shrouded in gloom. May the faithful

her death rest upon the Borrowing ones
