Everything Is moving In progress
sive way.
We are having few days hay wealth
or but a refreshing shower would be APP
preciated just now.
Rev White killed copperhead the
other day and 80 young ones. They
we're seen by Rev. J. L. White, James
Lemons and others. He said it was not
a good day for snakes, either, as it had
been raining.
Last Sunday was a great day, FIRST be-
cause it was the Lords day and second
because it was set apart by Tatesville
Sunday school and Rev. J. L. White for
a picnic and Sunday school celebration.
Sunday school met at 10 o'clock open
ed by singing the goth Century Song
followed by prayer by Rev. j. L. White,
Geo. Ross spoke from then until eleven
o'clock. Then there were speeches
and Rotations by the Sunday school
too numerous to mention; also dialogue
by r. L. Vanrohr, Miss Hester Layne,
| huklO AAOoo8 Luna dhLOhLg AAlCD lOGh-
hart, entitled THE Wayside Well",
which was an up-to-date piece and we'll
gotten up. Rev. White then introduce
Rev. Win Stewart, of Dunlap, who in
mastery style held the audience SPELL
bound for an hour. Dinner was then
served on table one hundred feet long
which was piled high from one end to
the other with good things to eat at
which about four hundred ate until
hunger was no more and there was
more left on the table than was eaten.
Lots of buckets and baskets sat under
the table that were never opened.
There was food enough to feed thou
sand people. A good many stayed
away because it looked so much like
rain. At 1890 H. b. Northcut, wife and
son, L. V. Woodlee ana Miss Ada Ross
with plenty of good will prepared
provisions for which we thank them.
After dinner we marched to the spring
to finish the program. First there
was a song by the choir, Miss Ethel
Simpson presiding at the organ. Miss
Simpson deserves special praise for heI
organ playing and recitation. Miss
Bella Simpson made two excellent ad
dresses which we're we'll received. We
would like to make mention of Aggy
Ross, Prudy Love, Mamie Tate, Katie
Ross and Lena White and others whose
pieces were we'll gotten up but we are
afraid the editor will get tired o.
setting type. We drank so gallons o
lemonade prepared by Messrs. Bennet
Tate, Ellie Brewer, and Jacob Vonrohr
These gentlemen deserve special men
ton for the graceful manner in which
they waited on the ladies and children
We then proceeded with our program
