St. Charles Church Picnic.

St. Charles Church Picnic.
The people of st. Charles parish are
making active preparations for thei1
church picnic on the Fourth of July
at Minnehaha Park. Good meals will
be served all day, refreshments sold
and all the sports and contests given,
on the shady grounds just above the
elk paddock, on the rise of ground east
of the pavilion. The same place was
selected for the picnic last year, but
the severe storm that day broke up
the picnic. They hope for better luck
this year. The proceeds of this years
picnic are to be applied to paying for
the extensive repairs that are being
done on the church. All the several
committees are working faithfully, and
their zeal insures the success Of the
picnic this year, unless the weather
man turns against them, which we
hope will not be the case. All can en-
joy themselves at this picnic at Mime
haha.
