Harvest Home.

Saturday wes jrst such day as would
gladden. the heart of the average farmer intent
upon having good tine at Hs-vest Home
picnic. James Johnsons grove, selected by
the High Ridge Farmers Club, as the place
where the people of that section world cele~
brate the Harvest Home. is spot pcculisrly
adapted to such purpose. 1t is quiet wood
of native trees, upon high eminence, from
which you can look out upon rich, well cult
vated farms, dotted with happy homes. The
landscape is peculiarly beautiful. To that
delightful spot the good people of ell that
section went on Saturday, to spend the day
in social intercourse, AID to cast aside the
cares which had borne 80 heavily upon them
during the busy harvest season. The sturdy
old men and tidy housewives were there. sss
well as many who are just assuming the bur
dens of the farm. 1t wes joyous company,
that could listen to a speech, play croquet,
pitch at quoits, or eat hearty dinner. Our
reporter arrived little after the dinner hour,
but from what he could observe of the SUI :
roundings, he concluded that farmers did not
sell all their good things to city folks. A most
peiatable dinner of substsntials, es well as
most toothsome delicacies, was spread and
partaken of freely by ell presen'. After din
ner, the Center Hill Band, a musical organi-
cation composed mostly of farmers boys, rem
dered some good music and led off to the
speakers stand, which was constructed in q
clamp of beech trees, the branches of which
intertwined, covering the sides and rear OF the
structure. On either end of the stand were
golden sheaves of wheat end oats. stelks OF
corn, large beets, heads of cabbage, pumpkin
vines and mammoth sunflowers. Upon the
stage were seated ex>Gov. j. d. Cox, Hon.
r. J. Alexander, A. W. Campbell, Esq, ed.
itor of the lntelligencer, and Rev Beall, oi
Bridgeport. Mr.. j. ]. AsheDhurst, of the
Freeport Press, whose father. Rev. Ashen-
hurst, is one of the leading farmers OF the
Ridge, was Master of Ceremonies.
Mr.. Alexander was introduced and read an
instructive and entertaining paper upon the
farmers vocation and the Importance OF bis
calling.
Next came Mr.. Campbell, who congratulated
the farmers upon their abundant harvest, anC
spoke as man having knowledge of the rapiC
development of the farmers interest. He as
scribed much of the prosperity of the farmer
to-day to the home markets, which had growI
I'D. His address was practical and was listen
ed to with much attention.
Ex-Gov Cox followed Mr.. Alexander in
most pleasing and happy address, capturini
his hearers by the practical, good sense OF hi
remarks.
The set speeches being over, Rev. Beall wa
called for and responded in a few spicy re
marks.
The speaking of the day was concluded b.
Mr.. ]. J. Ashenhurst, who bid the audience 6
forth and enjoy the pleasures Of the afternoon
The occasion was a most delightful one. W

miles north of Wheeling, w. Va, where she
lived with the family until some years after
