1L Ail GENERAL NEWS Itemized Account of Doings in City and Country. THE PRINTERS' PICNIC. JL Meeting of the Committee Called Albany Wants to Come. The matter of the printers' picnic is still uppermost in the minds of our local typos, ami inasmuch as the time is not far distant, a meeting of the general committee of arrange ments has been called to meet in the Videttc office at 7:30 to-night. The Albany boys want to come as the two letters appended show. They are both written to members of the committees. Albany, Oh., Slay 3, 18SS. "Dear Sir: I arrived home all O. K. and brought tho matter of the Saieiii picnic, to be given on labor day, up before the meeting, and our (hose) team will come and partici pate in the exercises of the day, pro viding a suitable cash prize is ottered. We will most likely give an excur sion down on that day. Would like to hear from you in regard to prizes and rules. Give us all tho informa tion you can and we will help you in making a grand success of the picnic. ours respectfully. SlDNKY I The other letter is as follows; Awjany. On., Mhy 3. 18S3. Dear bin What arrangements, if any, are being made in toalem lor a demonstration, or observance of labor day, An excursion is to be given from this city in the near future for mutual benellt and a good time generally, and it might be that "two birds could be killed with one stone" as it were, by giving it to your city on that day. Have any steps been taken toward amuse ments? Will any prizes be awarded for Urenien's centests: such as hose races, etc., and if so, have you any idea of the amount? By giving this your direct and undivided attention, you will confer a favor that will never be forgotten "within the next three days." Yours respect fully. U. W. Watts. So our business men can see the Interest that our neighbors are tak ing in the matter, and will probably stand in nicely on the finances, o Oli! Mow lieautiruK?). That is the expression that is often overheard from visitors to this city when their eyes re&t upon those honid fences that enclose Willson's avenue, Marion bipiare, and espec ially the frontage of the Willamette University campus. This latter has the appearance of having been con structed about tho year 1, a. r., or some where along there. The fences about the public parks are old and worn out, broken down, tho paint oil", and they are exceedingly unor namcntal. Would it not Ik? bettor to have the police surveillance of those places made a little more complete, so that tra. ows would not get on the Mjuaivs, and then tear away those liiirnd fences of almost untidpluvian day-. They are of no utility any longer and everybody knows there is nothing attractive about them. If we a iv to have a boom, let us sweep up, and get ready for it. It is sure that so long as those fences remain there, and the geyeral aspect of tho city remains "murky" and antiqua ted a-t it i. now, the visitor who would feel inclined to invest his cap ital in a pretty, neat, active little town, will steer clear of us. Let us tear away the fences, or re pair and paint them. The formor is much the cheaper and bettor plan. Caller Shwplw Sneemllng.
