Notseeing anynews from our remote
little city published in the columns Of
your paper, and thinking that our cit
izens would Ike to be represented in
the literary circle, l will endeaEor to
give you some of the incidents that
have transpired pretty recently.
First we had a mutton and shoat
destroying barbecue, and, III spite of
the heavy rain the preceding evening,
had nice and pleasant time. The
day being exceedingly hot the cool
stands of ice CT cam, lemonade, deli
cious peaches, watermelons and cakes
served out to us by Messrs O'Neil d
Woods in such liberal quantities didn't
lessen our enjoyment of the day at all.
But, alas, the stentorian tones of our
county candidates declaring themselves
as such, aroused us and drew us with
an irresistible power to the place
where they were arguing THAR rights
to be chosen as the one to fill the office
for which he was striving. We en-
dured all patiently until the glad note
of dinner was waited on the breeze and
struck with harmonious effect upon
our ears and appetites; then, obeying
the summons with alacrity, We sud-
denly came unto the bOunteous table,
where all kinds ef meats were served,
and polite men acting as walters made
everything lively and pleasant. After
completing dinner, speaking was re-
sumed, and after the completion of
their speeches the young folks began
plotting for a dance, and to the excel
lent music made by j. S. Mathis, Al
bert and Sam Bigham and j. G..
ONeil, the dance was quickly COM
menced, and never did people seem to
enjoy anything better.
We received word few days ago
that the water was to be drained from
Wilder's mill pond, and Immediately
some of our sporting men, fully equip,
ped with provisions and fishing and
snake medicine, started for the mill.
1 had the pleasure Of being one of the
party. We caught fine mess of fish.
ate about % lbs of clean fish, caught
large grinnel in the seine and put
him on the hook of John Mathis that
he had stuck in the bank; it was worth
going there to see him seize that cane
and with a yell that would give credit
to a Cemanehe warrior landed him
about hundred yards from the river.
] noticed that several of the boys got
snakebit and took the medicine with
out delay. Later in the evening DIR
Ellis got up a gang of turkeys and
killed several, but want it understood
they were wild turkeys. Our genial
old friend-Dr Samuel Bigham was the
life of rhe party and beat all tho rest
catching fish and cracking jokes.
McLemorevilie is net void of life
yet. Yours Truly,
