The annual Sunday school picnic was
held in Secknger's hammock last Sat
urday and was enjoyed by a large
| crowd from Martel, Ocala Fellowship,
! Cotton Plant, Juliette and other places.
The day was ideal and all seemed to
I have the picnic spirit. Free lemonade
and ice water were on the grounds
/ and many gallons of ice cream were
! sold which netted a substantial sum to
be applied on the church organ fund.
The woods were made to echo with the
merry laughter of children ana young
people as they enjoyed playing various
{ games. At about one o'clock the long
tables were spread for the big picnic
dinner, for which this annual occasion
is noted. II was not until the sun was
low in the west that the grounds were
deserted We trust that we shah all
be permitted to attend many more of
these happy gatherings,
The Sunday school picnic commit
tee wishes through these columns to
leXpress their sincere thanks to all who
ia any way helped TO make it a sue
cess, also to those who honored it with
their presence and so literally patron
lied the ice cream stand.
