Last Friday morning the chil-
dren of the different Sunday
schools met at the Methodist
church and formed in ranks and
marched to the picnic grounds.
They presented a beautiful ap-
pearance. .At the grounds a song
was sung and prayer offerd by
Rev. J. A. Scruggs. Afterwards
an address was made by Rev. W.
B. McCullough. lie was follow
ed-by Rev. T. W. Morton and
Capt. W. 1. Cowles, each of whom
mado a few remarks. Dinner
was then spread and all partook
of a feast that was good enough
for the most fastidious epioure.

fullest extent. Everything pass

men of the^ butter made from
these cows, and it was superior
to anything we ever saw. It was
hard, firm and of a pure gold col-
or, and one pound is fully equal
to two of the ordinary butter of
the country. The above will
seem extravagant to those who
have never seen such stock, but
those doubting can be convinced
by going to see them. Such en-
terprise as Mr. Wynne displays
in this matter should meet warm
encouragement,
