PICNIC WAS A
HAPPY EVENT
Sunday Schools Join and Spend a
Day in a Most Pleasant
and Helpful Hanner
The picnic given jointly by the
Methodist, Baptist and Christian
Sunday schools of Newark last
Saturday was a most pleasant and
profitable occasion. Members of
the three Sunday schools assembled
at the public school grounds at 9
o’clock and marched to the picnic
grounds singing appropriate songs.
At the grounds a very interesting
and entertaining program was car
ried out. After the invocation by
the Rev. A. H. Dulaney, there were
a number of recitations, followed
by very able and helpful addresses
by Rev. D. A. Hoffman of Corn
ing, Rev. M. P. Matheny of Little
Rock, Rev. W. A. Goodwin of
Maynard and Hon. Noah W. Gil
bert of Little Rock, the last nam
ed being one of the state officers
and field workers of the Arkansas
Sunday School Association.
At the conclusion of the program,
a sumptuous dinner was spread
and the multitude feasted upon
the good things prepared for the
occasion. The afternoon was giv
en over entirely to social pleasures
and it is safe to say that not a
more happy and pleasant event
has occured in this community.
A GREAT GAME
Mr. Editor.—While strolling a
round over town Saturday after
noon, I happened to stroll up to
Highland Park, where there was a
fast and furious ball game between
the Rounders and the Regulars.
Some fine playing was done but
the Regulars seemed to have a lit
tle the best of it, as the final score
stood 13 to 22 in favor of the Reg
ulars. Come again, Rounders, and
try to do better playing next
time. A Reader.

SUCCESSFUL MEETING
Tuckerman, June 25.—The Jack
son County Sunday School Associ
ation was in session here the 11th,
15th and 16th. There were thir
ty-four delegates, six superintend
ents, four secretaries, four pastors
and a host of visitors, besides Miss
Minnie Allen and Rev. N. W. Gil
bert, state workers, and last but
not least, Rev. C. F. I l ively of Sul- j
pliur Rock, as a visitor.
Quite an interesting program
had been arranged and was ren
dered by some of the best talent
our county contains, as well as
the State workers. This association
was pronounced a great success
from the very first service, as we!
opened with a full house Friday ev
ening at 8 o’clock, I have attended
several county associations in In
dependence county but I never at
tended one where there was more
zeal and earnest effort put forth
and the spiritual enthusiasm ran so
high.
I worked very hard from the
time I was notified that 1 had been
elected president of this association
until the time came for us to meet,
to make this a great success in
Sunday school work, and am re
joicing that the Lord so abundant
ly blessed my labors. I worked
hard to get the best talent on the
music, and succeeded, as the music
was fine. Our church seats about
800 people and Saturday night
was full to overflowing. Great
crowds of people expressed them
selves as enjoying this association
as they had never done before in
Sunday school work.
I hope and trust that this will
be the beginning of great Sunday
school work in this county that
will save our young people from
sin. W. R. RicE.

ping vat, through which 720 head
of cattle passed during the day.
There are 137 people people own

district and of that number 720
were put through the vat on that
day, the balance are in pastures.
Speaking for this immediate sec

to the work.-Melbourne Times.
Most all the folks read The New
