The Fourth of July Picnic
The picnic under the auspices of the Holy Family Congregation, of Latrobe, which will take place on the Fourth of July, will be held at the beautiful Idlewild Parks, L.V.R.R. Music will be furnished by Prof. Fisher's Orchestra, and Mr. James Hammond will call the figures. Dinner, supper, and all seasonable refreshments can be procured on the grounds. Trains will be run over the Ligonier Valley railroad every half hour during the day, the fare for the round trip from Latrobe being fixed at the low rate of 25 cents. The managers are Rev. E. M. McKeever, W. S. Head, Sr., Dr. H. L. Donnelly, Wm. O'Brien, Charles Schultz, Wm. Daily and George Seiler. With such an efficient board of managers the picnic cannot well help but be successful in every particular. Everybody is invited to attend and take a day of pleasure, rest and recreation in the woods.
