The Orphan's Home and Pleasant View Sunday schools had a union picnic in Nelson's pasture, on White Rock creek Saturday, which was a most extensive and enjoyable affair, between 700 and 800 persons being in attendance. There was much music and an abundance of everything good to eat. Will Coe says there was so much to eat, and it was so invitingly served, that a man could eat enough to founder him, unless he watched himself.

     Out at the Pleasant View chapel, five miles east of Dallas, the Baptists are holding the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in that neighborhood, according to Col. Tom Fisher, who is a zealous worker. Revs. Goode and Butler are conducting the services and they are saving six sinners every night. That is the average. Col. Fisher is delighted with the plan of salvation outlined and predicts every man, woman and child in the Pleasant View neighborhood will adopt the plan.

     Interesting indeed will be the reunion of the former pastors, members and friends of Pleasant View Missionary Baptist church, the oldest church, it is declared, in Dallas county. The reunion will be held at the church at Fisher Station, six miles north of Dallas, August 12-14. The program and announcement follows:

     Thus ends a valuable program, which will be a blessing to participants and attendants, and to God's glory, if the former pastory, members and friends will come and bring the presence of the Lord with them, as they formerly did. So, we most earnestly urge all to arrange their protracted and other meetings, all business and home affairs, so as to come and greet each other, with us, at your accustomed place of worship in years gone by.

Free Entertainment.
     Free entertainment to all. Those coming by private conveyance can help much by bringing their usual provision boxes and baskets, and horse feed for themselves and others. All coming by rail will get off at Fisher Station, on the Katy, and those by interurban, will be met at the Katy stop at 6:30 p. m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday; also, at 8:30 a. m. on Saturday and Sunday. Those from a distance will please inform J. E. Fisher, 492 North Haskell avenue, Dallas, Texas, of their coming, when and where to meet them. Come, brethren, sisters and friends to this Mothers' call and talk, sing and worship with us this once more. The church has planned our annual protracted meeting to commence with the close of the church reunion, and desire all to remain who can. Finally, brethren, come to this social and spiritual feast, and do us good and glorify our Lord.
     We have many special friends, whose names are not on this family program, whom we wish to be with us and take part and be free in all exercises. By pastor, committee and church.
                                             W. T. COMPERE, Pastor,
