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. Come over,
h brethren, and join us in making
0 August 21st a memorable day in
j Fort Mill.
