TIE BARBECUE.
Owing 10 the uncertainty of the time when our
Volunteers viii arrive, the Committee of Ar.
rangements are not enabled to fix upon the day,
on which it is to be given. Immediately upon
their arrival, an early day will be fixed upon.
and information sent through the county.
The Committee has had r. very difficult TASK to
perform, aside of the ordinary lubors in preparing
a barbecue Of the extensive character which is
intended TO be given TO Our returning citizen
soldlery, in selecting suitable site for its oca.
ton, TO give general satisfaction. |, has been
removed several times to suppress rising dissa,is.
faction. The different ncighborhoods in the
county were anxious to have it located among
each. But it was found that in selecting any one
spot, dissatisfaction was given TO nearly all the
others. Thus has the Committee been puzzled
what 10 do.
After fixing different places, it has finally set.
tied down upon spot, which it is supposed will
give the most satisfaction TO the greatest number
Of persons.
Col. Drennen has kindly rendered the use of
his " ood pasture mile below Van Buren,, which
has been selected as suitable place for the pur.
pose. lis convenience TO town where most Of the
necessarios required can be had; and where our
fellow Citizens on the South SIDE o.! the river can
reach US without crossing their horses. The
citizens in the remote sections of the county, pre-
fer coming TO town al once, If they are COM
PEELED 10 come within four or five miles of it.
We now hope as the place is finally fixed upon
all will put their shoulders to the wheel, to give
