an old fashioned fishing party and
picnic. at which about 300 persons were

be an annual event TO which tho folks
for miles around looked forward with
pleasure but IL had died out until last
year when it was revived with great
success
All kinds Of amusements were in
dulged in. including a baseball game
by the girls and a horseshoe pitch
ing contest.
About twenty persons came in a large
wagon filled with straw. and when
ready to leave in the evening called
for some one TO drive them across the
meadow. One Of the men who had
been furnishing fun for tho crowd all
day. volunteered. He mounted tho
drivers scat. and picking out all the
bumps and hollows. proceeded TO drive
at a fast clip around the field. After
shaking tho folks enough to digest four
or five meals. he jumped off and got
out OF the way until the party had
gone.
