Benbow - Our Sunday School picnic which was celebrated at White Church Saturday, September 30, was quite a success, although we were very much disappointed in our speakers. We had invited four or five so as to make sure of one. But they all evidently thought us a hard lot or were afraid the grub would run short. We are glad to say after we had fed about 200 people we still had enough left to feed three or four as big as the biggest one that was invited. J.O.
CORELL gave us quite an interesting little talk, after which Prof.
BAKER, of Tazewell, gave a very fine talk on the importance of
Sunday school work. Next on the program was refreshments, of which there was quite an abundance. On Sunday morning several of the good people met at the church and reorganized for a winter Sunday School. If every thing goes well we are promising ourselves another pleasant
occasion about December 25th. It is earnestly hoped that our neighbors will give this work more attention in the future than we have in the past, as it is a work not only of earthly pleasure
but a great reward in the happy future.
