for the N. E. Sunday school of this
place. At I:30 a. m. there coaches
and two box cars, well packed with
men, women and children, wheeled
off down the track toward Blanchard
vile, leaving lonesomeness behind
and taking joy and mirth along.
When the excursionists reached Blan-
chardville, about 500 a. ~, they found
that Mr.. Blanchard and others of that
village, had the picnic grounds all in
readiness for their use and enjoyment.
For this kindness a vote of thanks
was rendered by the DOdgeville school,
and an invitation for the Blanchard
vile people to return the visit. All
entered with Zest into the pleasure of
the day, took a good view of the
growing village, and engaged in va
riOus sports. 4 horizontal circular
swing was chartered for the day,
which with a good rope swing afforded
an immense amount of pleasure for
the children. About II a. M the baS-
ketS were relieved of part of their
burdens and the Inner man " satisfied
However, enough was left for lunch
later in the day, and some to take
home. After dinner there were music
and speaking. The program was be-

of welcome by Mr.. Blanchard, re-
sponded to by Rev. Pengelly, of
Dodgevllle. Rev. Lewis, of Argyle,
and Mr. J. H. Pen5erthy, of Dodge
vile, also made short speeches, after
singing by the school. The exercises
were entertaining and the enjoyment
of the day complete. After paying all
expenses the school came out twenty
dollars ahead, and the excursion was
pronounced a grand success in every
respect. The Sunday school is quite
large-numbering nearly 300, with an
average attendance of nearly 200.

An evening spent with Mr.. AldrO

several of the fixed stars, including
Polaris with its companion, and the

degree entertaining. Mr.. jerks has
fine 4 inch telescope, nicely mounted
in well arranged observatory, and is
making quite a study of astronomy,
for which he has a great liking. DR..
