About 100 Attend.
). ). Picnic Thursday Proves Popular
Everybody Pleased. ...Day Ideal
Nothing to Mar Occasion.


The Sunday School picnic held
IN the Olsen grove Thursday was
the picnic success of the season.
About one hundred, mostly child
rem, attended and enjoyed to the
fullest extent day of real outing.
The day dawned perfect in every
sense OF the word. An ideal day
for picnic. So thought some OF
the older people as well as tho
children.
1t had been pre-. arranged to
gather at the church and start to-
gether, but they say the best laid
plans o mice and men gang aft
awry" and through d later plan
or misunderstanding the crowd
mostly gathered at the home of
Mrs. Matt Curraa. However ne
body got lost and everyone finally
got together in the beautiful grove
which, through the kindness of B.
j, Olsen they were given the free
dom Of.
Nothing was lacking. the beau
tisul day, warm, but not overly hot
clear and bright, no threatning
storm So make anyone look wise
and make predictions which would
cloud for a moment the spirit Of
the picnicers, a beautiful grove and
plenty Of soft, green, wavy grass
on which the children romped
while the older ones spread a big
table aud O, the dinner-eyery-
thing and enough of it. lemonade
to drink and ice cream, gallons Of
lit. 1t was glorious.
Fifty-seven little ones sat down
on the green grass by the first
table and enjoyed it feeling that it
was truly their day. No waiting
for the second table, no nudges
lahat they were eating more than
they ought, no-nothing but the
childish appreciation of things
which are done to give them pleas
nre. The second table was full
too, and while we do not know the
exact number, it at least over reach
ed the 100 mark.
Mr.. Craig, Of Austin Mimi, q
Ry. auditor, who has been visiting
at the Fred Anderson home, was
present and assisted in entertain
