The Grange Picnic.

The committee and proprietor Carr, Of
Alcyon Park lire to be congratulated on the
success Of the thirteenth annual picnic at
that resort that closed three days meet
last Friday. PIT was all that its most
enthusiastic promoter desired it to be, and
there is no doubt that it exceeded in scope
anything ever expected. Hon. Aaron Jones,
Past Master of the National Grange, who
spoke on Friday, said that Alcyon Park
Picnic exceeded anything Of the kind he
had witnessed in all his travels. He paid
Gloucester county farmers the compliment
of being well abreast of agricultural ad-
yancement. No farmers are more FORUM
ately situated than those of this section,
with the best markets of the world at your
very doors, and soil and climate suited
to supply every need that soil can supply.
He urged the farmers to join their local
grange because through that avenue the
farmer was to receive his greatest uplift.
He advised the farmers to use their surplus
money in beautifying their homes, it will
return larger interest in placing every
convenience, even to the extent Of luxury,
in the home than if invested in mortgages
at s per cent interest. In closing his adj
dress Mr.. Jones took fall out Of the
trusts, the days of which, he said, are
numbered. The handwriting is on the
wall, he said, that the trusts must go.
Late Friday afternoon the exhibitors
began to move, and when the sun went
down this most successful meet of the
Grangers Of South Jersey came to close.
