The Millville Union Sunday school
had delightful picnic at Tunnel Hill
yesterday. The day was one of real en-.
joyment to all, especially the children.
A sumptuous dinner was spread, and
after all had partaken freely, there was
enough left to have fed another crowd
equally as large. In the afternoon Super
intendent G. +. Gaillard introduced G. r.
ID. Burns, who made a Sunday school
talk on, What Shall the Harvest Be?'
There was the best of order and all re-
turned home pleased with their outing
on the Glorious Fourth.
The 4th of July picnic at Oakway,
s. c., yesterday was grand success.
About fifteen hundred people assembled
there to celebrate Independence Day and
enjoy bounteous feast, and no one who
was present regretted the visit. Quanti-
ties of good things we're spread to sat
isfy the inner man and the immense
crowd spent day in delightful inter
course. Speeches were made by w. p.
Anderson, D. w. ShelOr and Hon. j. r.
Earle on the glories that surround the
4th and on the necessity of a railway
through this section to accommodate
its prosperous and progressive people,
and 1t seemed as il everybody was de-
termined to make strenuous effort to
build in the near future. There may be
differences of opinion on some subjects
in this section, but it is not on the sub
ject of an electric railway. 1t does seem
that this read will certainly be built in
the near future.
