Notwithstanding the threatening
weather during the entire day the Odd
Fellows' picnic at Avoca last Thursday
was a complete success in every par
ticular. Early in the morning people
began to flow into town in carriages, in
buggies, on horseback and several au
tomobiles. Evidences of a good time
and a large crowd could be noted in
every direction, and by 10 o'clock this
fact was fully established by the street
being filled with a moving mass of men,
women and children.
The March to the Grounds,
At 10 o'clock the procession was
formed and proceeded to the fine grove
near the village where the celebration
was held. In this procession there
were no less than ten automobiles, be
sides many carriages and buggies, and
many on loot, ine procession was
headed by Albert Sienen's family band,
composted mostly of members of his
own family, with one young lady among
the number, and it was astonishing to
learn that this band was composed of
fanner boys, living within a few miles
of Avoca. The Journal representative
had the pleasure of makingjthe acquaint
ance of Mr. Senier, and was surprised
to learn that he alone instructed
these young people at odd hours when
not busy on the farm. He is a most
clever gentleman, a fine instructor, and
his band furnished most excellent mu
sic during the entire day. The band is
composed mostly of mere children, and
a bright future is in store for them.
On the Grounds.
On our arrival at the grounds we
found plenty of amasements already
there, including Tulene Bros, merry-go-round,
striking machines, babyjracks,
etc, galore. Also a dancing platform
and numerous refreshment stands. The
grove in which the picnic was held is
an ideal spot for such an event, level,
carpeted with blue grats, and magnifi
cent shade. After. music by the banc
and several solos rendered by Mrs. J.
W. Brendel, Mrs. Marquardt and sev
eral other ladies, H. E. Wellensiek in
troduced the junior senator of Nebraska,
Hon. Norris Brown,
Who spoke for over an hour. This
was the first time we have ever had the
pleasure of meeting and hearing Mr,
Brown, and his speech was free from
politics, which is an unusual thing at
this stage of the game in national poli
tics. While the junior senator is not
on our side in politics, we were very
favorably impressed with him in ap
pearance, and his social qualities are of
that nature as to make him popular
with the masses. Mr. Brown's address
1
j was very instructive and entertaining,
I and his hearers are better off in conse
1 quence. Whatever may be said about
; Senator Norris Brown, he is a gentle
i man and scholar and away ahead of
anyone that has represented Nebraska
in many years, that is on the republi
can side of the house.
Harry Marquardt is visiting relatives
at Brunning.
Fritz Heime was over from Syracuse
Wednesday.
Mrs. Anna Nelson was an Omaha
visitor Wednesday.
Miss Birdie Fahnestock is visiting
friends at Cedar Bluffs.
In the Afternoon.
A much larger crowd was present in
the afternoon and the mingling of the
masses was social, and everybody seem
ed to feel that it was good to be there.
The festivities lingered away into the
wee small hours of the next morning,
the tripping of the light fantastic toe"
being the chief attraction of the young
people. Everything passed off pleas
antly, there being no disturbances
whatever to mar the occasion. In fact
it was one of the most civil and social
gatherings it has ever been the pleasure
of The Journal man to attend, and we
felt much better next morning by hav
ing attended. We want to say right
here that we feel very grateful to H.
E. Wellensiek and Tom Straub for
conveying us to the grounds in their
automobiles.
This was the sixth annual picnic of
the Odd Fellows and its complete suc
cess each year is due to a' great extent
to the untiring efforts of Ora E. Copes,
B. C. Marquardt, Louie Dunkak and H.
weuensieK, although, the latter is
not a member of the order. But he is
of that nature to lend his aid to that
which is for the good of the commu
nity. Take it all in all The Journal
man feels well paid for remaining over
one day to attend this event.
