The Masonic celebration, ut Charles

we're In attendance, and nothing occur.
red TO mar the pleasure Of the occasion.
AT about fifteen minutes after eleven
o clock, the procession was formed In the
town, and began to move to Deals
grove, htf q mile distant, where q
stand for speaking had been erected, and
where the meats for the barbecue were
being prepared for the table. At the
head Of the procession was DR.. H. 8. Pc.
trie, as chief marshal, and the Charles
ton Cornet band, led by Ed. Wittig. The
Masons led the van, and were followed
by the Good Templars and citizens on
foot and In vehicles.
Without any unnecessary delay the
meeting was organized, and Major r A.
Hatcher, of Cape Girardeau, was intro
duced as The orator Of the day. We can
not give even a synopsis of the Majors
able address. II was, In every partlcu-
ular, appropriate to the occasion, and
the audience listened TO Its polished SEN
fences with evident interest
The Rev. Mr.. May was next introduced,
and spoke for long unexpectedly an
hour. The Reverend gentleman rs, no
doubt, thoroughly posted on the subject
Of Masodry, and is very enthusiastic, but
the audience were too hungry to listen
sttentively, and we fear that his homi..
lies, and really eloquent sentences feii
upon too many inattentive ears.
At the conclusion Of the Rev. Mays
address, the signal for dinner was given,
and the long tables were speedily nlled
with ladies, more than two-tbirds Of the
people being required TO "wait for the
wagon" Taking advantage OF this con-
dtion Of affairs, the Rev. Bradep, Of the
Charleston Baptist church, gathered
about him the faithful Of the Good Tenn
piar-, and talking for considerable
length Of time-talked one table empty
aud another full. He eulogized the order
IN glowing terms; aud spoke with con-
siderable energy and praise Of that rule
which permits women 10 become Good
Templars, and share In the work of the
order

the Charleston ladies, I'm faultless man.
