BIG PICNIC
Cottonwood Farmers Union Big Free Picnic Thursday to the Public Daily.
Plans that have been in course of incubation for some time past have at last been brought to a head and on Thursday of next week the local Farmers' Union will hold its first annual free picnic in this city. The Denver brass band has been secured to dispense music during the day and the plans are to make the day one long to be remembered by all who attend. The principal speech of the day will be delivered by Hon. J. V. McCall, of Hay, Washington, who is president of the Washington-Idaho association of the farmers union. Other well known men will deliver addresses during the day and musical numbers will be rendered both in the morning and afternoon. At noon a big free basket dinner will be served on long tables in the warehouse and all who attend are urged to bring well filled baskets. These will be turned over to the committee in charge and the edibles will be spread on the tables in regular old family picnic style where everyone can sample the many good things in the culinary line and fill up for further orders. After dinner more music and speech-making will be the order until 4 o'clock, when a fast ball game between the Ferdinand and Cottonwood teams will be played at the local ball park. At 7:30 p. m. the members of the local dramatic club will present the comic drama, "Tony, the Convict," at the Odd Fellow hall and immediately after the play the floor will be cleared for a big dance to continue throughout the evening. Every item of the day's entertainment, except the ball game, will be free as the air and everybody, in town and country alike, are welcome to participate in the picnic from start to finish. The members of the local union will do all in their power to make the occasion a big success and hope to make the picnic an annual event in future years.
