Sunday school of Vienna, which was held a
few days ago at Wedderburn, formerly

event. Mr.. H. c. Powell, the superin-

engagements for taking every one to the
grounds, and the first wagon load reached
there about $50 am. Very soon after a
large number, including many friends of the
school, had assembled. Games of all kinds
jumping, foot racing, swinging, etc, kept
the children at their best until the table
was again spread for the evening luncheon
