Jones Spring News.

The Union Sunday School Celebra-
ton and basket picnic held in the
grove at this place on Saturday last,
was success in every detail. The
day was a very agreeable one for an
occasion of that kind. Early in the
forenoon crowds began to gather on
the grounds. About ten O'Clock the
chief marshal was informed that sew
eral schools were waiting out side of
the village. These schools were soon
received and welcomed by having
them to march between the lines for
med by our home school, after which
the different schools, five in number,
marched in line to the grove where
the exercises of the morning were
conducted; this consisted of a
short address of welcome, by Hon. J.
G. Kitchen and Rev, Yost, together
with music by the band and choirs
and number of Rotations by the
children. At the conclusion of the
morning exercise it was agreed that
the program for the afternoon exer-
cises should commence with all Sun
day school scholars present forming
line and marching. This they did
at 1870 O'Clock. The school headed
by the Jones Spring Baud marched a
considerable distance and back to the
grove. There were about 800 Sunday
School scholars in line-the largest
ever formed here. The exercises in
the afternoon were quite interesting,
consisting of music by the band, Or
gan, the Ganotown, Tomahawk, and
Hedgesville choirs ;short addresses by
Rev. Walters and Mr.. J. p. Master !;
dialogues and Rotations by the chill
dren. Altogether the occasion was a
very pleasant one, and all seemed to
enjoy the various exercises and the
picnic very much. Everything pass
ed off very quietly, no improper con-
duct by any one during the day.
