Newton: The Salem Chapel Sunday School and friends to the number of about 150, proceeded on Thursday in twelve vans decorated with evergreens and banners to Lustleigh Cleave, to hold a picnic. The first van, which belonged to Mr. Pinsent, the brewer, was occupied by the fife and drum band of the Band of Hope, and was driven by Mr. S. Rumson, the local leader of the Temperance Society. The weather was all that could be desired, and the party highly enjoyed the treat, returning to town at the hour of 11 p.m.
