The Chlldreti'H Day at Canton.
Brief Particulars und order of
Exercises
Ou last Saturday, the first day of Muy,
the Cherokee County . Sunday School
Association met iu ihc Court House at
this place, iu conformity with the call
of the State Sunday School Association,
to celebrate their auaiversary. Every
school in the county were members of
this Association, and all were invited to
participate iu the days proceedings and
pleasures. Not only were the schools
invited but every one, from the rollick-
some playful infant to tliu grown up
matrons, young ladies and gentlemen —
the old and the youug. The day dawn
ed upon us boautiiui, cool, pleasant and
especially suited to make all spend the
duy in great pleasantness. Indeed were
the most cherished hopes mads manifest
for not one, we believe, attended but
that fully reulized all that was expected.
Near all the schools iu ths county were
represented by a goodly number of
young old. At ubo*it .0 o’clock the
engine oftho “narrow guago" rolled iu,
bringing a full loul of good Sunday-
school workers, scholars and friends
from Marietta und along the line of the
roud t> help swell the number who with
sougs and shouts of praises were to hftll
the advent of spring iu ull its glories
and celebiate the victories of tile work
wli.cli is doing bo much in flic cause of
our Master. To make » rough guess we
would say there was at leust 1000 per
sons present, at any rate there were more
than could be seated ill the Court House,
tbe largest, building iu town.
Atuboutll o’clock tbe Association
was called to order by Rev. C. M Mc
Clure, President, in the chair; Rev. B.
E. Led better acting as Secretary. The
entire crowd joined in singing “All lluil
the Power of Jesus Name;” ltev, E. K.
Akin then read a Scripture lesson from
the 18th chapter ot Matthew; Song—
“Pruise the Lord,” after which Rev. W.
A. Candler offered a very feeliug prayer;
Sang, “Footsteps of Jesus.” The address
of welcome by Rev. B. E. Ledbetter was
indicative *f the feelings and hospitality
with which our people of Canton and
Cherokee will always give to friends and
visitors, but in this was the welcome made
more- impressive for all were alike Inter
ested in the work before the Association ,
it was responded t* by Mr. J D. Atta-

Singing for the piize of one dozen

"Summer Land” very beautifully, then
came Lebanon school which sang “Hear
Him Calling,” and won the prize; th
judges selected were Messrs Henry Kemp

did not enter in the contest on account
of the members of one school being

about our lovely little valley. Even the

with its beauty were be to travel tbn. ugh
it in the gentle spring time. Nestled
aary uinoug the mountains, so
decked in their verdant robes, bespan
gled with tlid loveliest of wild fijweri,
forming natures own boquet, offered to
the givir of spring. The picturesque
stream of Salucoa winds its way like a
thread of silver, through the waving

O it is beautiful ; yea, beautiful beyond

but it is our own home, around which
cluster the most sacred affections. And
like tlie Icelanders, were wu gifted, we
would never tire of describing our grand
old mountains ami glorious sun sets, but
liking the gift I will stop.
