The Sun City picnic was quite a sue
cess. considering that it had not been
published but al few days .befbre hand.
In tho afternoon a large crowd was
present and in the evening it was larger
still One very commendable fact ait
this picnic, there was NO booze, fighting
OF scrapping. at any rate 1t wasn't q
prominent feature of the OCCASION. /
The Sun CITY and Milgons bali game
last Friday evening resulted in score
of to 81 in favor, of Sun. Sun City al

we feel it duty fo;call attention to our
friend and ue'ghbor. Murray Davis,

term. While we;believp the common
custom of giving a "pnff,'' or exager
ating the truth, to be wrong. vet, any
one who has the courage and grit to
walk straight and honorable life in
this world of wicked Wa3s should be
duly credited for the same. and above
all others. such men should be given the
places of trust regardless of politics or
the hairs color. We have known Muir.

own business h ANY one giving him IA
lift toward the office mentioned shall
never have cause to regret it.
