Yesterday q carload Of beer, from
Rochester, New York, was received at
the Louisville depot, having left there
last Saturday. The car belongs to the
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad, and may be seen at the Louis
vile depot. 1t has double walls, and
was full Of kegs Of beer, ice and straw.
Despite its big load Of Rochester beer, it
was not too full to be landed safely here.
The car came UjG the Louisville and
Nashville and Great Southern railroad,
which has freight connections with all
The northern and eastern lines. Toe
transportation Of beer in through car
from New York to Memphis shows how
valuable good and substantial railroad
like the Louisville and Nashville and
Great Southern is to city, its COM
merce and trade.
The rain yesterday materially inter-
fered with the picnic of the Bartlett
Odd Fellows. At least two hundred
ladies and gentlemen had gathered at
the grounds when the rain commenced
ana rendered IL Impossible TO proceed
with the terpsichoresn pleasures in the
beautiful grove selected for holding the
entertainment. Twenty. eight barbecued
csrcasses, and countless chickens, with
q generous accompaniment of pies,
cakes, etc, had been prepared for
the feast. The crowd adjourned to the
courthouse, where dancing was soon in
augurated, each male participant being
taxed one dollar with which to pay the
musicians. The entertainment con-
tinued all day, and was one of the most
enjoyable that our country cousins and
their city visitors have ever enjoyed in
Shelby county. The dinner was Of the
most sumptuOus character, there being
more than qlLdIlt,GD1 Suticit for every
one. At two O'Clock the Bartlett circuit
court met, but as the jury in the larceny
case OF the State rs Campbell was I'M
able to agree, it was discharged, and the |
court adjourned to nine o'clock this |
morning. After dinner, dancing was
resumed, and continued until late last |
night. Our thanks are due Dr. Cockerell |
and Justice Caldwell for courtesies ex-
tended.
