OF tbs week. on that day there was four
schools that came here and each Of them we're

was not much behind them the Lebanon and
Rising sun Schools completed the list. II
vas gala day the weather was Ideal and
young America was alive. The thought sug-
/ gested itself why not set apart day the last
/ week IN July OF each year for general com
/ Ing together and reunion Of Sunday schools OF
/ this county regardless OF denominations so
far as the schools are accessible TO the place
and make It one grand gathering OF scholars
teachers and pareats. The place is growing
/ IN popularity with the better class Of people
and especially among the religiously inclined
and day set apart as suggested would become
popular and traditional as other occasions
have To-day Tuesday, there are two schools
booked for here, one from Harrington and
the other from FELTON,.
The base bali enthu siasts are getting lots OF
entertainment from that source now; last
