    Moonlight Picnic, Jacksonville, 1884

    / No Comments

    The most delightful moon-light pic-nic of the season was last Friday night at the residence of Mrs. R.D. Williams. The beauty and chivalry of Jacksonville was out in full force. A most magnificent collation was spread in the moonlight about 10 o’clock, which was furnished by the young ladies, which marked them all as first class culinaries. Such delightful scenes can never be forgotten.
