MAN PICNIC.

as this paper went to press las
week, was a grand success. Whel
all the ''neighbors" quit the town
business is suspended as was tn
case last Tuesday afternoon. When Il

passes unnoticed, it can be realized
what an important day this annua
festival has become locally.

these insurance organizations can
safely trust Mr.. Perkins to look al.
ter their interests in the legislature.
