MONROE. The picnic of the Sunday
schools of this town, held in Marden's Grove
Swan Lake, Aug. 10th, was complete sue
cess. The day was all that could be desired,
and at an early hour the teams from the vii
lage and the Centre with their loads of chill
dren began to arrive at the lake. There
were hayricks covered with flowers and
evergreens, single and double teams. At
noon it was estimated that over three hun
dred people were at the Lakeside, as the
Monroe people came with the children to
enjoy the day, and at its close all felt as
though the day had been we'll spent. The
children, and the older ones were treated to
candy and peanuts, and ice cold lemonade
was served, and all were free, the older
members paying for the same. The pastor,
Rev. j. S. Blair, and his wife, did all in
their power to make the day pleasant for
the children and right well they succeeded.
First in order was the flag raising, putting
up the swings, getting the boats ready for
use and the ground ready for the races.

The great feature of the day, and the one
that caused the youngsters the most merri-

doughnuts were tied to a string, the con-
testants had their hands tied behind their
backs and the doughnuts were just high
enough to reach with the mouth. What
pleased the children the most was the ones
who contested. They were Capt. Tolford
Durham, Lorin Robinson, Isaac F. Cook
and H. R. Dawson. The prize was won by
Isaac Cook. The doughnuts were made with
out shortening, specially for the occasion.
About four O'Clock the picnic broke up.
There was no accident to mar the enjoyment
of any one, and the children had very
