THACKERS PARK POPULAR
A Lively Time the Program There for July 4
Mac Thacker has one of the handsomest parks in the southwest and proposes to let the people enjoy it to the fullest extent on July 4, free of charge. Mr. Thacker has recently erected a bandstand, speakers' stand, refreshment booths and swings. These, with the natural advantages, make the park very beautiful and well adapted for picnics.
Many families are already preparing to spend the "Fourth" at Thacker's park and enjoy a good old fashioned picnic dinner. There will be abundant entertainment for all. The Queen City band of this city has been engaged to furnish music and will be on hand throughout the day. This band is one of the best colored organizations in the southwest and recently captured a prize at a band contest at Neosho.
Yesterday the Sunday school of the First Methodist church picnicked at this grove and had a jolly time.
Mr. Thacker contemplates building a lake in the near future and may get the street car line extended to his park before the Fourth. At present the entrance is just off of Garrison avenue, at the end of Miller street, the first street north of Macon.
