CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES
Held at Cedar Swamp Methodist Church
Saturday Last.
Cedar Swamp, June 5:?A warm
summer's sun, a clear sky witn
gentle zephra wafting the branches
of stately oaks covered with hanging
moses amid towering pines that
have 9tood the storms for ages, laid
the scene for the annual Children's
day exercises at Cedar Swamp Methodist
church. Early Saturday morni
ing the usual home crowd augmentj
ed by a good number from a dis|
tanee and some who had never atI
tended before, could be seen rolling
jin from every direction expecting
jan extremely enjoyable day, minj
gling together in a section where
; the most hospitable people dwell.
The Sunday-school scholars look
l forward early in the spring time to
i this occasion, eager for the approch|
ing day, especially the little girls
who are always beautifully attired in
neatly made white frocks displaying
! their soft tresses of flowing hair enI
twined with pink ribbon as they
: marched into the church before a
i large audience with soldier like pro1
cession. The little boys, too. are
' proud to march side by side with the
j lassies adorned in their best suits,
i Too much can not be said in bei
half of those who did the training,
jfor their indifatigible efforts were
I shown by the perfect rendition of
the little songs and recitations made
by the children.
The pastor of the congregation
was present and gave an interesting
talk, followed by Miss Lela Epps
who amused the children very much
telling of her first experience with
children in Brazil when she first ar*
j rived in South America. She could
speak English ably and the children
whom she taught spoke Portuguese.
After the benediction came one of
| the essential features of the pro|
gramme, dinner. Notwithstanding
ithe prevailing high cost of living
! Cedar Swamp still systains the repuj
tation of providing most bountiful1
ly. There weie a half score or
1 more of our charming ladies who
! served the crowd to good old tender,
] juicy home-cured ham cooked whole,
rptainincr r.Il its delicious savor, with
other good things too numerous to
mention.
j The afternoon was spent at the
| baseball ground where both old and
young while away the time most
pleasantly. Thus ended the ' day,
and may we all survive in perfect
health to assemble again one year
hence.
