 QUINNATISsEr PICNIC DAY.
 A fair day seems to be all that is necessary now for good time and re- newal of happy associations in the fra grant pines of the beautiful lake at Bates Grove where Quinnatisset grange has invited their many friends to picnic on the 4th of August. This has become an annual outing institut- ed by the grange and is looked forward to with the Keenest interest. There the older ones renew tender memories and happy associations; there the younger people form impressions, make new acquaintances and particu- larly enjoy the smiles of the more se- rious minded who are worn with the troubles, cares and responsibilities of American life. There we find love, tenderness, sympathy, charity, kind ness and temperance, and if you are longing for that sweet music which only human voices can give on those notes from the professionals violin, which appeal To our tenderest feelings, here is where you find it-either the recital of beautiful poem or the scin- tilation of expression and wit from or ators of two states may give food for future thought and you may be com peIled to say, Il had what ] desired, a good time.n
