Moonlight Picnic A very pleasnnt moonlight picnic'was given at the residence of Capt. Geo. McCutcher?, io the Mt. Zion neighborhood, on last Kriday evening. Quite a crowd was in attendance and there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the occasion. The beautiful grove surround ing the residence was abundantly lighted by the clear and steady beams of the autumn moon, whose light is more symbolic of faith and constancy *.hao springs silvery rays or summer's mellow but ever changing radi ance. The grounds were constantly filled with promenading couples and only the moon knows what meant all the whispered words that mingled with whispering rustle of the leaves, it was a scene of youth and pleasure, and the youth who was beard by the moon, to whisper the same words to more than one fair companion has doubtless, long ere this, repented and received a free pardon from each in turn. Colored Industrial Fair. The Fifth Annual Fair of the Colored Industrial Association will be held in this city on October l?th to 14th next.
