The annual picnic of the Baptist Sun
day School, which was held at Island
Park Thursday of last week, was a most
delightful affair, Everybody, young and
old, in looks and actions indicated the
fact that they were happy, gay and
free, " and were having just the very best
kind of time. The simple announce
ment of the time and place of the picnic
was the guarantee of large crowd. So
after count of noses it was discovered
that the schools of the various denomina-
tions of Summit Point, Charles Town,
Halltown, Millville and Snow Hill, had
a representation of 49I souls on the Is
land, and this number added to the peo-
pie from Martinsburg, Kearneysville,
Browns Crossing, Shenandoah Junction
and Duffields, swelled the total to over
eleven hundred persons. The day was
all that could have been expected at the
hands of the weather clerk" 1t is
needless to say that there was ample pro-
vision made for the inner man." be-
cause the tables were so heavily ladened
with good things they fairly groaned be-
meath their weight. Suffice it to saw that
more than twelve baskets full of the
fragments were taken up, and the bas-
llets were of no mean size. AT D. m.
the large pavilion was filed with men,
women and children, who being too
full for utterance themselves, wanted
to hear something that would perhaps
nourish the spiritual part of their make
up" Mr.. c. H. Shipman presided
The music was in charge of Prof Lus-
comb. Rev. II. L. Riley made the open
ing prayer, and the following named per
sons delivered interesting five minute ad
dresses: Rev. L. r. Milbourne Mr.. Vim.

would we'll become one of more mature
years. Rev. J. E. Triplett pronounced |
the benediction. The program b.;no

iherry-making, which lasted until the To-

OF all are due Capt. {. E. Dudrow and
the railroad officials for doing so much to
make everything pleasant and comforta-

plaintiff and Weston Thompson for the
defendant.
