TENNYSON WILL
WELCOME LARGE
CROWD SATURDAY
Entertaining Program Has
Been Prepared for Com
munity Picnic Day.

Just to prove that a good little town
can do things in big way, the boost
ers of the community of Tennyson are
inviting all Grant county, and as
many from Iowa and Illinois as wish
to come, to be their guests next Satur-
day, Aug. Is.
The citizens of this little hamlet are
really in earnest, and wish to make
this occasion one big holiday. Each
and all members of the community
have worked hard in preparation for
this event. And with pardonable
pride, they announce that the program
of entertainment has been fully ar
ranged and can guarantee that the va
riety expressed in its composition
will find interest and amusement for
all.
The idea of promoting and fostering
community spirit prompted this enter
prise, and no doubt the many who will
be present at this big community pic
mic Saturday will justify the effort put
forth in its arrangement.
HOrSe hoe Tournament.
Starting after the big chicken din
ner which suspicious ceremony will
begin at 1870, the horseshoe tourna-
ment starts the show off. This feature
of the program will afford experts in
this popular sport an opportunity to
show their skill. And there are quite
few in the community who are
adopts at the game.
Tentative arrangements for a base
ball game are in process. Which pos
sibly by the time you are reading this
will be consummated.
Smith Bros. Quartet.
Music! There will be plenty, both
vocal and instrumental. The popular
Smith brothers quartet, of Potosi, will
vocalize, and Eddie's Entertainers, 7
piece orchestra, of Dubuque, will fur
nish the instrumental music.
Ladies of the community have gener-
ously contributed articles of wearing
apparel for children, and quilts, all
hand made, which will be disposed of
and the proceeds devoted to worthy
cause. This will prove an attractive
feature which will appeal to the ladies
present.
The race events will include emit
ries of all ages. Especially is the
pleasure of the children anticipated in
this part of the program. They will
be entered in the speed classes ac-
cording to ages and sex, and will be
given prizes for the winners.
Specialties In Evening.
Following the big chicken supper,
the evening entertainment, which will
also be free, will be presented on
specially constructed platform. 1t will
consist of vocal numbers by the quar-
tet, instrumental selections by the or
chestra and special features by local
talent.
j. T. Walsh, the genial general mer-
chant of Tennyson, whose cleverness
as an entertainer, has found favor on
other occasions, will appear with 9TH
ers on the improvised stage in charac-
ter sketches during the evening pro-
gram.
1t is distasteful even to think of the
weather being anything but ideal. But
should its inclemency make necessary
the program will be transferred to the
commOdious halls in the town, which
will afford ample space for its pre-
sentation.
The foregoing is just a general idea
of the program of this community pic
mic. No doubt you will be pleasantly
surprised with other novelties.
Alright! Let's go next Saturday
and make Tennyson feel that we ap-
preciate her hospitality.
