The Junior Order Picnic.
There were several hundred people
at the picnic that was given in O'Lea-
ry's grove on the eastern outskirts OF
Yorkville on the Fourth by the local
lodge Junior Order United American
Mechanics. The gathering was made
up principally from the population Of
the mills, people of Yorkville and
pretty good representation from the
surrounding country. 1t was really
quite a representative crowd. The di-
versions consisted of speaking, good
dinner and pleasant social intercourse.
Mr.. ]. A. Tate presided over the speak
ing and the speakers were Mr.. M. B.
Jennings, Congressman Finley and Mr..
]. c.. Wilborn. Mr.. Jennings entertain
ed the audience principally with good
stories we'll told, Mr. Finley talked on
the subject of good citizenship and Mr..
Wilborn devoted himself to an exposi-
ton of the principles Of the Junior Or
der. All of the speeches were listened
to with close attention. The dinner
was splendidly prepared, Of the choic-
est quality and Of unlimited quantity.
There was fried chicken by the bushel
and 1t lasted until everybody got as
much as they wanted. Congressman
Finley claims that except for one piece
Of white meat and one drumstick he
ate as much as he wanted, and he could
have gotten these even along about the
last, but was afraid to risk himself any
further. The music for the occasion
was furnished by the Yorkville Cornet
band under the lead Of Sheriff Brown
and the performance OF this organiza-
ton was highly complimented.
