Members of Monmouth lodge No. 81

weeks stirring up interest in the event

rem being i'll kirkwood last night on
that mission. There promises to be a
large contingent from that place and
also from Roseville and from all along
the line come reports OF crowds which
expect to enjoy the big annual function.
Last Year Big Success.
The first annual picnic was pulled
off at Oquawka last year under the
auspices of the Monmouth and Oquaw-
ka lodges and was an unqualified
success. So much interest was mani
tested and the event was so satisfac-
tory in every way that without any Ell
fort the Western Illinois Masonic as
sOciation came into being, and under
its auspices the outing this year has
been planned and will be carried to
success, provided the weather man
smiles on Saturday.
Everybody who goes to keithsburg
is expected to carry his own dinner
and the Keithsburg committees have
made every necessary arrangement for
the MONDAY meal to be eaten in COM
fort.
Although the special train back to
Monmouth leaves keithsburg at 4:30,
those who would like to stay longer at
the picnic grounds may get home by
going by way Of Burlington on the

provided for the lunch baskets and if
the latter are properly marked they
