appearance was greeted with shrieks

seats, matrons and all, it was found
that there was still room, and some
of the cars were not needed.

Arriving at Mt Pleasant the kid

Burns Motor Company, where they
found several prominent citizens of
Mt. Pleasant there to greet them.
Someone produced large bag of de-
licious home grown peaches, and how
those children did enjoy them! But
at the same time, many eyes were
turned in the direction of big ten
gallon stand of ice cream which had
been taken from Columbia for that
very occasion.
After singing several songs, THE
children were entertained for an hour
by stories, told by some of the ladies
in the party, and in these stories they
manifested deep interest, and hearth
