Say, Mr, Editor, what about a correspondents’ picnic or barbe cue, whichever you might call it. I think it would be real nice to have one sometime during the coming summer, not too late nor too early, somewhere in the county at a suitable place for a picnic. Have a band if it would not cost too much, or if it cost too much, probably you could get up a snbscription to help out. Have ice cold lemonade and let everyone bring well-filled baskets and have a few good speakers to come and make speeches ap propriate to the occasion. We think if you could get up some thing of the kind it would be all all O. K. Would like to hear from you on the subject as well as other correspondents. [Good!
