KEYTEsvnLE. MISSOURI FRIDAY. JULY 81, 1900
Picnic at Pee Dee.


The picnic given at Pee Dee last
Saturday by the 1. o. o. F. lodge, No.
$50, was a grand affair and rivals any
similar event that has occurred in the
county for many years. The day was
an ideal one in every respect, and at
an early hour the people from the sur
rounding country for miles began to
make their appearance upon the
grounds. They came by every con-
ceivable means of transportation ex-
cept by railroad and steamboat-any
way to get there. The little village
of Pee Dee was nicely decorated with
flags and bunting, and the villagers
seemed to vie with each other in good
humor and in efforts to make this the
event of the season.
The picnic was held in nice,
shady grove on the edge of the vii
lage, where the committee had erect
ed suitable platform for the band
and speakers. By II O'Clock a. m.
some 1900 people were on the
ground. Before the noon hour Pref
Green made a nice talk, after which
dinner was served, to which all pres
ent did ample justice. Then there
was a call for the home and visiting
Hodges to meet in the hall, where they
donned their regalia, some 7oin num-
Der, and marched to the grounds
where they were entertained by 9
stirring address from Capt. R. M
Scott of the Keptesville lodge on the
beauties and benefits of Odd Fellow
ship. After the address the Odd Eel
| lows assembled in front of Nickles
gallery and had their photos taken.
In the meantime the throng of peo
pie which had increased to huge di
mensions were enjoying themselves il
social converse or in delightful
SWING on the merry-go-round.
! Besides the home lodge of /. O. O
F. there were visitors present from
/ KeytesviIle. Salisbury. Brunswick ant
MarcelineSlodges.
One of the amusing features of tn,
.
occasion were the first and secon'
6ddlers contest For the pFiz
Alex Grindstaff, Bunk Chapman AM
Giles Rice were the contestants. MI
Chapman won the prize. In the sec
ond contest the entries were Waite
Shoemaker and Giles McCollum. MI
McCoIIum was awarded the $2.5c
prize.
| We may remark here that the com
mittee thought they had made ar
rangements to secure speakers, bu
for some reason they did not come
and all were glad that good substi
tute was found in the person of Capt
Scott of Keytesville.
! Upon the whole the picnic was !
success socially and. so far as W
could judge, financially also. TIL
people of Pee Dee and vicinity di
themselves much credit IN their pre-
paration for the occasion.

Miss Della carp Expires After a Few
Hours Illness.

Miss Della carp, a young lady
trimmer and saleslady, in the en-
ploy of Miss Calvin, and who had
previously worked in the same
establishment for Miss Grow last
year, died yesterday morning at her
room in the Kizer building on Broad

roomed with Mrs. Kizer.
Miss carp, worked up to 10 o'clock
on Saturday night and was in good
spirits, though she complained that
her lungs gave her pain, and she
went to her home from which she
never left again, the seal of death
having placed its icy hand upon her
brow during the night. The young
lady grew worst during the early
morning hours and at 10 o'clock she
expired.
Her remains left here this morn
ing for Linden, Texas, her old home,
where they will be buried in the
family burial ground.
Miss carp was engaged to be
married to a worthy young man of
this city, and her death is a sad
blow to him.
Miss Calvin says the young lady
was one of the sweetest characters
she ever knew.
