EDITOR WORLD: As we had grand
picnic in our little village, l will try
and let you hear from US. The picnic
was Tuesday of this week. The day
was one of the most pleasant of the
week, and by s o'clock a. M. the peo-
pie began to gather until our little
village was crowded with men, women
and children. and each one took to
their own kind of amusement. as
there were all kinds of amusements.
The dance hall was crowded the
greater part of the day and night.
Dinner was served in the church.
the table fairly groaned under the
load it had to bear-but about $50
hungry people lightened its burden.
After dinner we were called to or
der and treated to grand speech by
Hon. Wlllcockson. candidate for
district judge of the Graham county
district. His speech was as follows:
He spoke standing on the porch of
the church. He said, ladies and gen.
tlemen, am delighted to meet you
here to-day on this occasion. As L
drove over these beautiful prairies
with my friend, Mr. Emmons, how L
thought of you people, how you beau
titled your homes, and i have always
said that you people were the best
class of people we had in Kansas, for
when you come, you come to stay, and
you always make such grand improve
but i want TO tell you to-day that we
are the only party who advocate the
supply and demand to govern the
price of grain, pork and beef, while
the Republican party differs with us,
in that they make the price: but it
| is not so for, in India, they have
famine, and in South America they
are starving by the hundreds: but 1
| will not detain you any longer.
At this point the orator was dis
turbed by the Hon. Mr.. Shocks, of
northwest TregO, who stepped to the
front with his corn cob pipe in his
hand, made some gestures, and said:
THAT is right, and / will be with
you" The speaker asked Mr.. Shocks
where he lived, and he, with one
more gesture with his corn cob pipe,
said: chic I live (hic) in TregO
county," The speaker told him he
could be of no use to him, as he was
not in the DISCREET, but once more the
Hon. Shocks tried to make himself

up the speaking, and the speaker and
