The idea now is to invite the people of Van Wyck neighbor- 1 hood, of Lancaster, Rock Hill, Waxhaw, and other places to join forces and(have a first-class picnic with all the enjoyment, sociability and generul good will that such a day would afford. There is no more inviting place in this section for a picnic occasion, and the occasion Jitself would serve to bring to* getber kindred, old neighbors and friends in a way that would doubtless result in much real pleasure and enjoyment to all. Such a gathering at least once a year would have good results.?Waxhaw Enterprise.
