A large force of hands r Have been employed and it is likely that the bridge proper will be completed by September 1. There is likely to be some delay in opening the bridge to the 1 public owing to the fact that the ' , York chaingang. which is to build the approach to the bridge. 3 will not come to this place until the 24th inst. ) Community Picnic August 21st. The annual community picnic ; of the people of Fort Mill and - j surrounding country will be held '! on next Wednesday, August 21st. I This was decided at a meeting I i Monday afternoon in the stand in : Confederate park at which quite ! a number of town people and sev{ eral from the country were pres. | ent. Mr. R. F. Grier was made | chairman. All present expressed . themselves as heartily in favor of the picnic and pledged their support toward making it a success. The question of a date and plr.cs was then discussed | with the result that the picnic i will be held in the O'Connell | ' grove near the graded school on i j the date mentioned above. The ' 1 next business of the meeting was ; the naming of committees and ' these wqi^^^^^qws: i i ing together it is safe to say that . the picnic Wednesday will be the { , 1 best of the several heretofore' j held. Mr. Carothers, as chairman of! | the table committee, will see that ' | the grounds are cleaned oir nice-1 i ly, and that a table and refresh ineiit stand of ample proportions , are erected in the shadiest spots ; ' available and in due time. It is I J | well to here state that this is to be j i an old-fashioned, table-spread, i . picnic. # | I 1 The gentlemen who constitute j i the comjnitte on amusement are :, i j noted for their ability to onter? ! tain a crowd. There will be nu. 1 merous contests for both old and I young, and it is probable that the merchants of the town will 1 donate prizes for the winners in r each contest. The committee is endeavoring to arrange with the ^ local ball team for a game of ball j in the afternoon between the j j Steel Creek and Fort Mill nines, j and there is every reason to ? promise that the game will be I I pulled off. The finance committee will look ~ after the granting of license to ~ serve refreshments, prize money, etc. j Last may be mentioned the soup committee. Everybody likes soup, and everyone may rest asr sured that it will be plentiful. 3 As to the quality of soup which s Mr. Crowder prepares, a gentle man was heard to remark that - it is fine to that point which is 1 ; calculated to make a man tight - his daddy. Therefore each belt i' should have a hole in the extreme i t j end, for soup is a great sweller, ; e and some will find it necessary . I to let out to the last notch. -> j No picnic is a success without - j plenty of rations, and, besides -1 the soup, the table will be sups plied abundantly with good, substantial and dainty eatables. The j . furnishing of the table is left en- j r tirely with the ladies and it is _ desired that all attend with well_ filled baskets. y The Times is requested to ex- j e! tend a special invitation to the j s people of the surrounding coun- j . try and particularly to our friends i s in Steel Creek, Gold Hill and ! 0 Pleasant Valley.
