UNION S. S. PICNIC FOR NEXT THURSDAY

Business Houses Will Be Asked To Close For the Big Event To , Be Held In Kansas Grove. A Union Sunday School picnle, in which all the Sunday-schools of Marion Township are expected to take part, is to be held in Kanne’s Grove on the west side of town next Thursday. It is hoped that all persons interested in 8. S. work will come with well filled baskets prepared to help make this the best S. 8. picnic ever held in Rensselaer. Each family is requested to bring a tablecloth marked with the owner’s name, also enough dishes for their own use. It has been the custom heretofore to furnish ice cream and lemonade free but on account of the large number expected, this will be impossible this year, but there will be a stand on the ground where these and other articles may be bought. So bring your poeket books. A portion of the profits will be given to each school to help defray the necessary expenses. All peEsons wishing to ride to the grounds will find free conveyances at the Court House square from eleven to twelve o’clock. All who have conveyances, of any kind will confer a favor by being at the above meeting place. . . i .. A committee of representatives from each school has been appointed to circulate a petition asking every business house to close from twelve to four o’clock, that everyone may have a chance to go and it is sincerely hoped that not one wHI refuse.
