The Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXIV S SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION Will Be Held at Shingle roof on Friday, July 30, 1909. To thk Sunday Schools of Henry County: Our annnal Celebration will be held on Friday, July 30, 1900, at Shingleroof Camp Ground. All Sunday schools ih the county arc cordially invited to come and take a part in the exercises. The exercises will begin prompt ly at 10 o’clock, a. m. As such a long time is required for the sing ing for the banner by all the schools, the? general plan of the program will be as follows : All recitations by representa tives of the different schools will be in'tlie morning and none at all in the afternoon. The singing for the banners will be in the afternoon, and the old rule of only two songs by each school will be strictly observed. One song by each school as a whole, and one by the children of each school. Both these rules will be strictly enforced. The program in full detail will be published later in this paper. An excellent speaker will deliver the address, and all who pome will enjoy a treat in the program. The regular dues of one dollar for each school are due on the day of the celebration, and all schools are requested to bring their dues with them and pay same on the day of the celebration to W. W. Milam or to E. M. Copeland. This is very important, as the expenses of the celebration have to be paid out of these dues. Last year less than one-half of the twenty-eight schools which are members of the association paid their dues, and the officers had to pay the dues of the other schools for them.
