Scholars in Pro cession. The celebration of the Buford Sunday School Association at Su wannee last Wednesday was a de cided success. The association is composed of the following schools; Buford, Level Creek, Duluth,Trin ity and Mount Zion. The last mentioned school is situated in Milton county and has an interest ing history. It was the first Sab bath school established in the Cherokee country,between the Chat talioociiee and the Tennessee line. It was formerly conducted by Rev. William Rogers, one of the purest and best men and one of die pion eers of religion in the Cherokee country. The organization was or ganized last year. 11. W. llowcJ js the President and W. B. Ilay good Vice President. The Lawrence villa Sunday School united in the celebration at Suwannee, although not a member of the association. Early Wednesday morning the roads leading to Suwannee weie throng ed with wagons, buggies and carriages and people on foot. A deep interest seems to have been enlisted in the occasion , and by 9 o’clock at least one thousand peo-v pie had assembled at the depot. Dr. Osborn, of Buford, was ap pointed marshal of the day, and with the assistance of the marshals of tire different schools formed the procession near the depot, iu the following order: Level Creek Schorl, 112 schol ars, J, W. Baxter,Superintendent— motto on their banner, **Suffer little children tocorne unto me.” Trinity, 60 scholars, G. I. Smith, Superin tendent— motto, “In God we trust;” Duluth, 11. W. Howell, Superinten dei t, 100 scholars —motto ‘ God bless the Sunday’ suhoo!;” B-ifbrd, 80 scholars, W. B. Haygood, Su perintendent —motto, “Come to Je sus;” Lawrenceville 40 scholars, M. L. Adair, superintendent—no in scription on banner except name of school* Mount Zion school, 45 scholars, A. S. Bell superinten dent—motto, “God is our Refuge .” The crowd fell iir at the rear and the procession matched to a grove near the school house where a stand and seats hail been prepared. Each school was provided with seats to itself and the large audi ence was soon comfortably sealed* and the exercises were opened by the President asking that good order be maintained. The programme of the day was then announced. Be* low is the programme for tire morn ing. Reading Gdi oliapt. Deuteronomy, by Rev. M. H. Eakes. Music by all the schools —“Je- sus Lover of My Soul.” Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Eakes, Music by all the schools —“Beau- tiful River.” Address of lion. A. S. Bell, of Milton.

Roberts, Lawrence ville; address of Weldon Redinau, Level Creek; music by all the schools —“Let us pass over the River ’’ The President then announced tha 1 there would be an hour’s recess for dinner. The immense crowd soon scattered over tlie grove in small parties. Baskets, boxes and even trunks of the good tilings of the hfud that make glad tho hearts of weary children, and the older ones, too. were soon produced, and the multitude was fed. Although we thought it woul 1 have been better to have spread the feast upon the tables and all united in dinner, yet, from the number of invitations we heard on every hand to eat, we have no doubt everybody was supplied- It was indeed a pleasant sight to stand and overlook the crowd of in nocent children, handsome young ladies and their festive beaux, the watchful mothers and careful fath ers, gathered in groops, while the quiet jests and loud laugh told un mistakably that everybody had dis missed dull care and were devoting t ie hour of Jefreshmeut to iuuoceut pleasure. AFTKRXOOX EXERCISES, Dinner over,the schools piomptly assembled at the stand, and, as the music from the fair hundred an 1 ; Unity-seven scholars and their j teachers swelled in one harmonious volume, making the woo ls re-echo with its melody, the crowd q met ly gathered and the exercises of the evening began.

Baxter, We have never seen bettcT order maintained in so large an assem blage. We understood that one or two young men set in lor a day’s battle with John Bailevcorn, but they fell eaily in the action, and all was serene, The singing was remarkably fine, and constitutes an essential part of a Sabbath School celebration Each school was called on to sing one or two pieces, aud was highly complimented by tho.audieuce, who listened with rapt attention. But when all joined in some familiar song, the music was really grand. Hark! the numbers so‘t and clear Gently steal upon the ear; Now louder aud yet loader rise And fill with melody the skies. It will be impossible for us to attempt anyth ng like 11 criticism upon the essays and addresses. All did well, and no doubt each school went home gratified at the success of their scholars. And without dis paraging others, we have no doubt that all will agree with us that “Over the Bill to the Pool-house,” rendered by Miss Ilattie Howell, was remarkably well done. And we have seldom heard, even by experi enced lecturers, a finer recitation than “Church o;gans,” by Miss Susie Howell. * The association will have another semi-annual celebration during the fall. Due notice of the time and place will be given througn the Hint ai.d. — Flowery Branch Items. Thomas Orr lias finished his two story building on Jackson street and moved in.
