One week ago I should have given you

sent from the city and away from mail
facilities. It is better late, how
ever, than never, a remark that
has in it more force than origi

I found myself at Gnerryton, with \V. H.
Hughes, Rich of the Baltimore store, aod
Hoynum of Blount A Heym&n. We were
the guests of that prince of good
fellows, W. Wolfson. The cause of
our going to Guerryton was
a picnic aod barbecue, whioh was given
by the merchants of the village nnd tho
HUirounding planters to the young puoplo.
It was really enjoyablo to attend so large

pleasure and relaxation, for wo have too
little of this kind of rest as a people. Ear
