SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.
Some time since it was decided that il
would be a grand way OF celebrating the
natal holiday to have a union Sunday
school picnic at some one OF the lovely
groves in the near vicinity of the city, snd
it was finally decided that Woolridse's
grove, lying on slight eminence, almost
one and one-half miles rorthwes', would be
a suitable place. In accordance with the
idea at an early hour yesterday morning
the pupils belonging &c East Sedslis as
well as Sedalia proper assembled at the
different churches, where vehicles of al
most every conceivable fashion we're await
ing TO transport them.to the grounds.
After all had been comfortably disposed
of proce sion was formed, and with BAN
ners and q .gs flying aud the bright dresses
of the prettlly clad pupils, the thiriy-two
conveyances were a beautiful sight to look
upon.
After reaching the grove, which had
b, en- hastily but comfortably arranged for |
the picnic, ii was only a ve-y short time |
until every nook was occupied, the already |
large tbrong being augmented by the ar
rival of the psrents and friends Of the Sun |
day school pupils.
Swings were arranged, hammocks swung, |
the organ, which had been brought, placed |
on the speakers stand ready for use and |
everything necessary done for the enjoy
ment of the picnickers.
The grand stand which had been draped |
With bunting and flags l::oked very pretty,
and 10 fact the red, white and blue made |
the entire scene one Of picturesque effect.
PROGRAMME.
The programme opened with music by |
the Congreg ,tioual church orchestra, which |
was followed by Rev. Boiler, Of the Con-
church, with an appropriate
and beautiful invocation.
Rev, Jones, of the Ohio Street NJ. z.
church, then made the address of the day
in most eloquent manner and was given
the closest attention.
The orchestra again furnished music,
and the song "Americs." with a full
chorus Of voices, was given. Mr.. Fred Van
Camp gave cornet solo, which was rem.
dered in his well known fine manner, and
was followed by Miss Annette Jones, daughter
Of Rev. Jones, who sang In very fine
manner the "Stsr Spangled Banner" Miss
Jones has recently returned from Cincin-
natl, where che has been teaching elocutiou,
md her many friends here were glad of the
opportunity Of hearing her sing, as in addi-
ion to her talent as an elocutiOnist she is
