Six car loads OF youngsters, bubling
with anticipation of the annual Sunday
school picnic. left this morning for
Rawls' Springs. There were enough

We're the willing porters for the heavy

The annual picnic of the combined
Methodist Sunday schools is under the
direction of G.. ]. Stevens and T. M.
Ferguson. The picnic is just the op-
posite Of the old fashioned Methodist
quarterly conference, where they have
preaching all day and dinner on the
ground. The picnicers are having din
ner all day and no preaching on the
ground
A report from the picnic ground says
that there is enough yellow leg fried
chicken to feed regiment, but that
the youngsters are doing nobly with
the task of leaving nothing. Herbert
Gillis said he was going to see that
every child in the crowd had a good
time and a stomach ache before the
day is over.
The children will have something
more than the memory of a pleasant
day to recall the annual picnic by as
this is the open season for red bugs
and chiggers.
Several parties went out to the
Springs in automobiles and in car
riages. The train will leave Rawls
Springs this afternoon at o'clock to
bring the youngsters home again.
