Last Friday morning sixty pioneer ladies of Greenwood and vicinity gathered at the Lucas Grove. Mrs. Julia bailey, who will soon leave for Oregon, was the guest of honor. Upon arrival at the picnic ground the committee immediately began preparations for dinner. The tempting viands were spread on the grass, and the picnickers found seats nearby.

After dinner was over all traces of formality had vanished, and the really enjoyable part of the day began. A few songs were sung and were followed later by recitations. Everyone, with the exception of Mrs. Burch, was on her best behavior. At about four o’clock the ladies reluctantly left thee spot and departed for their homes.
