MANY MARCH IN SUNDAY SCHOOL PROCESSION.

Parade Attracted'Good Attendance and Public Schools Participate—All Follow the Band. The Sunday school parade at 1:15 this Thursday afternoon was a 'great success. Many of the schools from the country were represented. Union township was in with four decorated automobiles and two decorated wagons. Barkley township was also well represented. The boys’ band marched from the school house to the court house at the head of the school children, who were accompanied by the teachers. It was an inspiring sight to see the little tots in line and the streets were lined with people to view the parade. The Sunday school delegates and a number of co-workers followed the school child ren and the wagons and automobiles followed in the rear. The parade was about a half mile in length. The Sunday schools seem to he wideawake this year-and the demonstration should result in an augmented attendance. The convention is proving a striking contrast to the one held in Rensselaer a year ago, which was almost a total failure. The meeting this afternoon is being held at the Christian church and the one tonight will be at the Presbyterian church. That will conclude the convention.
