The Lid OFF at Cottonwood Springs,

The Lid of at Cottonwood Springs.
The lid was off all day Tuesday at
Cottonwood Springs. 1t was Catholic
day and these good people were sure
there with the goods. Father ]. ].
Dillon was master Of ceremonies and
1t is said he wore a smile that would
not come off.
We exceedingly regret that we could
not be present on that day to mlngle
with the bunch. We had date to
speak at East Lake on said above day
on The Political Outlook" But we
learn from various sources that these
jolly, good people had great time,
from fine start to beautiful finish,
and that 1t was one continuous round
Of untold pleasure. The Catholics do
nothing by halves. To say that the
youngsters did NOT have good time
would not be true-and so did their
mammas, their papas, their sisters and
their aunts, all vieing with one an
other in making the dav happy one.
All good people, at all times, have a
rattllng good time at this popular re-
sort. All kinds Of out-of.doors gam.s
and plays were reeled off by young
and old people. When the dinner
hour arrived and the long tables were
''set" under the spacious shades Of the
stately elm trees-but say, will some
Of the ladies present please tell us
what they did NOT have good to eat
and to drink? The dinner is said to
have been great, enough for all and
enough good things left on the ground
for the little song birds to have a
picnic for many days The ladies who
looked after the tables were Mrs. Tom
Roden, Mrs, Ed. Dermody, Mrs. L. Fl
O'Toole, Mrs. Mary Corder, Mrs. Polly
0'Connor, Mrs. M. Fl. Murphy, Mrs.
Smith, Mrs. Moore and Others whose
names we failed to get.
Miss Mamie Dugmore won the prize
two beautiful vases for being the
swiftest runner. Mrs. Smith won q
handsome prize for the fastest runner
over about a dozen other ladies. This
race is said to have been merry one.
Charlie and Joe Franey, James Der
mody, Francis Hays and others also
won prizes. 1t was great day and
will long be remembered by all present
on this mirthful occasion,
Father Dillon desires to thank the
Peck Brothers for courtesies shown
him on that day. The Peck Brothers
are always doing something good for
their many friends. They make life
worth the living and believe in the
adaRe "that when we die we will be a
long time dead"
Mrs. Roden, Mrs. Dermody and Mrs.
O'Toole have our thanks for favors,
These amiable, good-looking ladies
never forget friend. Now, IL there
is anything we enjoy along the eating
line, it is fryed chicken and gooseberry
pie. Thanks, awful.
