OAKLAND.

Yesterday was observed at Children's
Sunday at the Methodist church, by
special exercises at the hour of the US
ual preaching service. 1890 "A. NJ. A
large and appreciative audience was
present. Mrs. Cottle. Mrs. Casey. Miss
Perry and. the pastor have done much
hard work in the way of drilling the
children for thees exercises and thanks
are due not only to them but all who
assisted in making the affair a success.
The hymns and recitations were all
we'll rendered. One Of the special fea-
lures was the recitation by little a.
year-o!d Gwendolyn Casey, and by the
pastors little girls. Martha and Lillian
Needleman. The. Preble family rem
dered excellent music. An offering was
taken for Children's Home.
Charles Jones was at home from Au-
gusta over Sunday.
Stories of the first green. peas from
the local garden, are now i'm order. Geo.
Fl Bryant Is believed to have enjoyed
the first substantial mess from his own
vines of any one in town. They eyre
picked and eaten yesterday, although
they would have done very well sew
eral das earlier, and the best of it is
he can have them right along for some
time now Mr.. Bryants peas were
planted April II. Some years ago he
selected few of the earliest developed
pods from his Motifs Eixcelsiors and
saved them for seed. planting them the
next season and continuing the prac-
tice until he has established a variety
that is quite little in advance of the
Excelsior in point of earliness. Mr.
Bryant also has other crops growing
in his garden that are noticeably for
ward for this season. His corn stands
20 inches high and some of the leaves
will measure nearly a yard in length
when Strengthened out,
