I. 0, or. PICNIC

The picnic held at Union Chapel
last Thursday under the auspices of
the Crabbotton Lodge Of Odd Eel
lows seems to have been thorough
" enjoyed by the big crowd in at
tendance. If any words other than
praise of every feature have been
spoken, they were not on the Mon
terey side of the mountain.
Good order prevailed, everybody
in good humor, and "vittles" be-
vond the comprehension of mind
and body. True, some went away
Suffering" but not from hunger.
The addresses made by Messrs.
Turner and Mauzy were both en-
joyed.
The day was likened by many to
the picnic of Eye olden times"
The boys who are entitled to
the credit may pat themselves on
the back, for they succeeded in
giving the public an all-'round big
day in the open air.

AlETTER FROM OHIO.

Lima, O., August a. Partly to
retain your good friendship and
partly to give you an insight into
the conditions of this locality, |
will pull myself together and write
you with brief letter.
Ny wife and have been visiting
in this vicinity for some time, and
although we do not see any noun
tains, valleys, crooked roads or An
CORA goats, yet we like the country
quite well. Now and then while
travelling the spacious and well-kept
roads one comes in contact with a
semblance of hill, but not often.
The farmers in general seem to
be industrious, up-to-date and
prosperous.
So far this season their crops
have been fairly good and have
brought first rate frees. If favor
able conditions continue, corn will
be large and plentiful, and counted
the best money-making crop of the
season.
In this section landowners are
not very active or very much IN
terested in stock-raising. 1t is true
they turn off a few hogs and a few
sheep occasionally, but that is all
| have not seen a bunch of cattle
since my arrival, and from all re-
ports | am not likely to.
Land sells anywhere from $50 tc
I$120 per acre.
Upon the whole this is a very
fine country, but after taking ev-
erything into consideration, l can,
not for the life of me figure GU
how the majority make their mon
ey. However. the people seem t.
be good students of economy, ant
this may be the keynote of thei
success.
