EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR VISIT OF DOLLIVER.

Fountain Pary Should Have Great Crowd Thursday When Distinguished Senator will be There. Senator J. P. Dolliver will be at Fountain Park tomorrow and great plans are being made for his visit. It is expected that a great crowd will hear his address which takes place at 3 o’clock. While the farmers are busy it is believed that they will not want to let this opportunity pass to hear this distinguished citizen speak. There was about the average attendance Monday and Tuesday. Dr. Fiske Conducted interesting Bible stu-’ dies both mornings, which were largely shared in by the cottagers. In the afternoon of each day Dr. Swadner lectured. Many of the campers met him and formed a close friendship with him during the days he was there and he left lots of friends at Fountain Park. G. A. Eldridge, the entertainer and impersonator, came Tuesday and pleased the large audience that witnessed his entertainment. He will be on hand again this evening. The Italian orchestra which came Tuesday did not meet up to the requirements of Fountain Park and they were promtly and properly dismissed. President McCullough states that whatever comes to the park must meet up to high requirements and these musicians were not at all what was recommended of them. Owing to their dismissal other music will have to be provided for the Thursday meeting and a good band will be procured. At 8 o’clock Thursday evening “The Floyds” will be the attraction, being well recommended as entertainers. The roads .are now in fine shape, not dusty, and a day at Fountain Park will prove very pleasant, while Dolliver day should draw a great crowd of people. Every one interested in national politics and law making should hear this great man. On Saturday the Midland Jubilee Singers will succeed the Floyds and they will remain over Sunday, giving two entertainments each day. Rey. E. J. Sias will lecture Sunday afternoon. Dr. Fiske will deliver the morning sermon. As many as can are requested to come early enough Sunday to attend the big Sunday school, which conyenes at 9:30.
