A String band discoursed good music all day, and the followers of Tepis eote indulged in their won tod pleas ure About one o’clock some one called out: “Dinner!” and there was a rush like unto that of a mob, eager for tho fray. Forty browned and highly seasoned quarters of barbecued pig, lamb and kid wore soon carved and their juicy •‘effluos cence,” side dished by home made and bakers bread old fashion chicken pie, fried chicken, etc., etc., went to make the hungry soul hap py. In an incredibly short time, why, there wasn't any thing to be found, that had just filled the well ladcned tablo except a quantity of delightful ice cold lemonade that had been donated by the ever gen erous and thoughtful Judgo Richard Johnson. This beverage which sat isties the thirsty and always comes in just when most wanted, had been well made by Messrs. F. M. Stewart and Frank Hardeman. Capt. F. S.

Wo cannot mention the crowd of visitors and we saw so many famil iar and so many strange faces that our eyes and head haven’t got tranquilized yet. The Man who objects to his wifo’s wearing a Mother Hubbard, dur ing such weather as this, is a bear.
