The Dover Picnic

The annual Dover picnic was held
last Saturday In Wahl's grove, be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people being
present. The picnic was held under
the auspices Of the Woodmen's organ
zation and John R Platten ourg was
master of ceremonies. The Concordia
Band furnished the music and two
baseball games and a gun club shoot
afforded diversion for the crowd.
The main feature of the occasion
was the dinner. The man who has
not experienced the delights Of a
Dover picnic dinner still has some
thing to live for, Everything that
the matchless housewives Of the Dover
vicinity could provide was to be
found in prodigal abundance. The
crowd hardly made an impression
upon the baskets, which we're taken
away almost as full as they came.
After dinner John r Plattenburg
introduced Rev Stark who made ar
interesting address upon woodcraft
Hon. @. W. Hamliu, democratic
nominee for congress made speech
upon the political issues Of the day
This speech was pronounced one Of
the best that Mr.. Hamlin mas deliv
cred In the county. Several of the
connty candidates also spoke.
