Any boy could have done it, but the people ap plauded and enjoyed the farce. Tim llur Assorlatlon. Atlanta, August 27.—The meeting of the state bar association was concluded to-day. The feature of the proceedings was the inimitable address of Judge Logan E.

The Smiths yesterday held their annual reunion in a picturesque grove on “Uncle” Peter’s farm and succeeded in having a delightful day of it. Uncle Peter and his hired man were up with the dawn and finished their chores before a 6-o’clock breakfast. By 9 they had rigged up benches and tables in the grove and had the American flag flying from a staff' which marks the site of the first Smith’s log cabin. Then Uncle Peter went to the house, put on a boiled shirt and his go-to-meetin’ trousers, and re turned to the grove in his shirt-sleeves just in time to receive Peter Smith and his family, of Smith’s Cross-roads.

A few months ago the firm of Dixon & Murphy advertised in the News for con federate money and offered two or three cents a piece for each bill.

They came in all kinds of vehicles and from every direction, till the grove was one mass of living Smiths and the roadway without a tangle of horses and vehicles. Some of the family groups passed on the winding, hilly highway were picturesque in the extreme. One rickety Farm wagon carried a load of ten persons. The father and two sons sat on the front seat and four little girls, apparently sisters, came next, while on the rear seat was a mamma, an infant and a grandma. There were old men with scraggy whiskers fram ing their faces, who rode beside old ladies with ironbowed spectacles and antique sun-bonnets, all dressed, like the younger folks, in their Sunday best aud bent on having a good time. While yet the clan was gathering the Smith Family Band arrived on the scene, Ichabod Smith acting as drum-major. They marched into the grove to the air of “Yankee Doodle.” The Smiths went wild over the music, while aged steeds, accus tomed to nothing more classic than the ploughboy’s whistle, arched their necks Cotton.
