Your scribe attended an cld-fash ioned Georgia barbecue one day last week, which was gotten up as a. fam ily reunion dinner. Besides barbecued meats, hash and Brunswick stew, there were plenty of other good things to eat, prepared by the ladies. The most interesting feature in the gram was the father and mother who headed the march from the house to the beautiful shade where the table was placed, laden with many good things for the crowd. Behind the father and mother, according to their ages, came the children with their husbands and wives:—and by the way, the father of this family has sixteen children, all living except one. They were all present, with two sons-in law, and two daughters-in-law. This family makes Roosevelt’s big family look like 30 cents, and the father of this family is only 50 years old. There is only one grand-child, and four generations were represented. If you Editors want to have a good time get out in the country at a Geor¬ gia ’cue and the good time is assured already. Try it sometime. There were about sixty people present and everything passed off nicely and ev¬ eryone enjoyed the day to the fullest. After dinner was served those so dis¬ posed repaired to a place selected for target practice, and some very line shooting was done. One of the young married ladies was one among the crowd making the best score, by hit¬ ting a marble on top of a post at a distance of 90 feet with an automatic rifle.
