AT COLLINSVILLE
Special to the Gazette
Collinsville, Tex., July 38 - The beautiful grove that lies adjacent to our town was today the scene of probably the largest assembly that ever attended a picnic at Collinsville. The occasion was gotten up by the Prohibitionists.
Hon. J.W. Bailey made a two-hours' speech, and Captain J.D. Woods of Sherman took down the crowd with his humor. No anti speakers were present to reply.
