FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL Picnic.
This large and prosperous school visited
Ashland on Thursday. The grounds and
buildings Of Randolph Macon College were
thrown open to the eXcursionists for
their amusement and dinner. About
one thousand men, women, and chill
dren enlivcned The scene. A mag
niiicent dinner was served, and all ate and
were tiNcd. The day was spent i'll conyer-
sation. eating. drinking (,cater and lemon
ade), courting, singing, tournaments, base
ball, and lying ia the shade. Nothing oc-
Cured to mar the pleasure of the OCCASION,
and all were apparently charmed with the
trip. The officers and teachers OF this
school deserve great credit for their skill,
zeal, and libcrality i'll the management OF
the same. We hope their visits to Ashland
may be frequent and of long continuance.
The Gracc-strect Baptist Sunday school
will have i picnic ut the same place on next
Tuesday. A brilliant affair is expected.
