PICNIC FOR DELEGATES


union OF the Cumberland FTesDytoF'
ian church and the Presbyterian
church will be discussed, this assem-
bly, will be the largest in the history
of the denomination. The assembly
met last year in Nashville, Tenn.
An excursion from Nashville to Leb-
anon was provided for the delegates
to that assembly. The suggestion
has been frequently made that 1t
would be very proper and beneficial
thing if the citizens of Waxahachie
would provide a similar excursion
| for the assembly at Dallas. The
| delegates To such gatherings are
usually the most Influential laymen
| in the communities from which they
come and are therefore men of cul-
ture and sound business sense-just
| the class of men to see and appre-
ciate the marvellous advantages Of
| Waxahachie and her surrounding
country. 1t is not too much to ex-
pect that this excursion will result
in the addition to our city a number
of good families as permanent resi-
dents. 1t is apparent to all who
have thought of the matter that
here is an opportunity TO advertise
the advantages and resources of
our city and surrounding country
to very desirable class of people
and an opportunity which must be
seized upon at this moment. These
considerations and suggestions have
ripened into perfected plan to ex-
tend an invitation to the General
Assembly to enjoy an excursion to
Waxahachie and an old fashioned
citizens picnic at the Chautauqua
grounds. A special train will leave
Dallas over the Houston and Texas
Central at a. m, Saturday, May
2lst, reaching Waxahachie at 1890
a. IN. The delegates will be met at
the train and driven over the city,
stopping at the University for a
short entertainment, thence to the
Chautauqua grounds where basket
picnic will be served. Every one
who has the good of our city at
heart, a smile, a horse and buggy
aud full lunch basket is four times
welcome to this picnic.
