capital they needed when the from the Lost
Hope should assay forty dollars to the ton. What
Bainger had to say here concerning the last con-

CURED last Thursday. Grand Army
| Comrades and the husbands of Corps
members, who by the way are recog.
niZed as "brothers-in law" OF the
Post, were part OF the sixty in all
who boarded the train in this city
that morning, laden with baskets
filled with rich edibles, a goodly
supply Of fruit, ice cream, etc.
A jollier crowd of picnioers never
left Mineral Point. They arrived at
| their place of destination in due
time, the accommodating railroad con
duotor stopping his train at the
| Wright farm gate Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright and Mr.. and Mrs. Tenney, the
one n brother of Mrs. Wright and the
other . sister of Mr.. Wright, and
who also reside on the farm, were
found in readiness with that warm,
hospitable spirit Of reception such as
comes only from the heart. With
such conditions, and the perfect day
which it was, nothing was lacking to
make it an event to garland the halls
Of memory OF everyone fortunate
enough to be present. In anticfpa-
tion Of the affair Messrs. Wright and
Tenney had in readiness, in a shady
quarter a substantially constructed
table at which could be comfortably
seated from forty to fifty. What grand
feasting was had at this table can
better be imagined than described.
Being well supplied with fishing
tackle several, after dinuer, hied
themselves to the banks of the Peca-
tonica which coursed near by, but
the finny tribe display ed taste for
something richer than the bate ten
dered them, only few carp and one
or two American bedbugs, as turtles
are sometimes called, catching on.
Some Of the carp had more the ap-
pearance Of wood than fish, it is said
upon reaching this city. One novel
feature of the program was the per-
Torrance of Mr.. Tenney who loaded
several Of the women onto hay
rack, and gave them ride up aid
down the stream, sturdy team Of
horses being employed to perform
the act.
AS the sun gilded the western
horizon the party sat down, some
what tired but exceedingly happy,
for the final feast. This was fol-
lowed by an hour Of social converse
and merriment, after which, with
empty baskets and hearts too full Of
joy and contentment to permit OF a
fitting expression Of the happiness
realized, which was made possible
only by the royal hospitality OF the
Wrights and Tenneys, the party fell
in line, with the stars and stripes
floating in the evenings balmy
breeze at the head, and marched to
the gate beside the railroad track
where they awaited the passing of
the evening train which, upon COM
ing, halted, took them aboard and
conveyed them home whore blissful
slumber crowned the unlimited
pleasures of the day.
