barbecue was held recently at grove within 8 mile of Burlington, Boone county, Ky. The affair was not advertised, but in the course of half a sentury Boone county has established a reputation for this sort of thing and, the news passing from mouth to mouth, concourse of above 6,OO0 was the result. It was more than had been bargain ed for, and many who had not provided themselves with a private basket of provi- sions wished they had before the day was over.
 A trench about twenty-two paces long and about four feet broad and deep was dug in a clear spot, and pile of wood prepared days before. Bright and early the fire was light ed, in fact, about daybreak and the pitful of dry wood roared and cracked in fine style. The wood burned down to embers, and was replenished. By this time a thick bed of intensely glowing coals lay in the bottom of the ditch and charcoal added to the glowing embers Then the f'shoals" and ''muttons' and ''beeyes' were ''spitted," long stick being thrust through each carcass lengthwise, and they were laid across the pit, corps of attendants under the direction of the master cuisine watching and turning and basting the roasting meat till he pro- nounced it done. The important official in this case was Adam Tanner, venerable dar key, who is said to have ''bossed" every bar becue in that vicinity for forty years.
 In this way two huge beeves, twenty-five Su00p, anu SOul0 ndlI-uOZeu mugs WSTo pre- pared for the gastronomic enjoyment of the expected throng. And the pleasure of the feast would have equalled all that has been told of such banquets, if the crowd had not so far outrun the anticipations of the provid- CTS. It is an accepted fact that we'll l-barbe- cued meat is the most delicious of any, the hot fire crisping the outside of the roast and thus retaining the natural juices, while the interior roasts slowly to the proper point.
 When the meat was done it was nearly din- ner-time and the carving tables were quickly laden with succulent burden, which was speedily divided into appropriate ''cuts' and spread along the six or seven hundred feet of board tables, accompanied with abundant slices of delicious homemade bread And then the eager throng was notified that din ner was ready. The men crowded to the ta- bles, but, with the proverbial gallantry of Kentuckians, while each seized his portion of the tempting food, he also took bounteous supply for the lady or ladies under his care, and backed away to make room for others The tables were cleared in twinkling but walters, some with huge baskets of meat, and others with equally capacious baskets of bread, hurried along replenishing the sup ply. This continued, however, only for a short time, the unanticipated magnitude of the gathering soon exhausting the resources of the managers, and many hundreds reached the tables only in time to look ruefully at the debris of the feast.

Gentlemen's Furnishings are sup piled in our store at prices so moderate that our business in this department is steadily | increasing. Our !" Unrivaled" White Shirt | gives universal satisfaction. We beg to thank | those customers who have kindly waited for a size we got sold out of We have got on a few to fill orders, and are pushing the balance rapidly through the works.
 1 We offer very elegant variety of Silk
 HandkeFchiefs for Neckwear, and we I mention the fact that what we sell are really l worth wearing. There has been great deal | of trash in the market, which has hurt the trade somewhat, but such quality as we of fer will prove satisfactory every time. l This week we direct attention to our dis play of Towels. The principal feature in l it will be the extraordinary value we shall give in a twenty-five cent Fringed Damask Towel There is nothing to compare with it at the price anywhere. Besides this great bargain we shall give unsurpassed yalue in b1eached and unbleached Damask, Hucka- buck, and Turkish Bath Towels, at various prices. There is also a lot of magnificent ex- tra fine double Danask Towels, exceedingly elegant goods.
 We are keeping watchful eye on every department and wherever we think it neces- sary we unhesitatingly make further and still further reductions. Among the articles so treated we mention LisIe Thread Gloves, our prices on which will now be found to be out of all proportion to the value of the goods Embroidered Ties, La dies Fancy Hose and ParasOlS may be named as instances in other departments of the same uncompromising determination to close out.
 At the same time we are looking ahead, and making active preparations to open the Fall trade in such manner as to maintain the position we have won, and in spite of all con- petition still hold, in the Dry Goods business of New Haven.
