Rayville. 9th District. -Children's day ser
vice was held at Pine Grove o. B. Church, on
Sunday morning last An interesting program
was admirably executed by the members OF the
school and was highly appreciated by the large
audience in attendance. The crowd was Sc
large that many were unable to get into the
church, and they came from all points of the
compass. Mr.. J. e. Stiffler led the choir, Mr.
]. g. Hoshall played the cornet and Pref
Dandy was organist. Mrs. Maria Scott Mrs
Frederick Hoshall and other ladies deserve q
great deal of credit for training the little ones
to perform their respective parts on the pro.
gram in such pleasing manner. Rev. f. b.
Emenheiser was master of ceremonies.
Children's day services are very pleasing en-
get ready for them. Many have to hunt up
the last cent to get the new hat and new clothes,
which seem to be necessary for the occasion,
and the dressmakers, milliners and mothers
have to sit up until the small hours OF Sunday
morning to complete the outfits. Every body
wants to wear the best clothes they can get on
Children's day, and there seems to be consid-
cradle emulation among many as to wnicn
shall make the finest appearance in this great
"dress parade"

Emenheiser will preach sermon to the mem.
