his speech adjournment was had for
dinner. after which Mr.. G.. T.. Benton

His speech occupied but half an hour

interspersed with numerous bright
hits, and was frequently applauded.
Mr.. Benton's speech was to have been
followed by a band contest, but as but
one band was present there could be
no contest, and Mr.. Pickett, of Yates

How it was Spent.
AT EQUITY

There was an immense attendance
at the celebration at Equity, Ander-
son County. 1t was a marvel as to
where the crowd gathered from. The
procession was over mile long. 1t
was headed by the X. of p. band of
lola, and a chariot load of girls in
white representing the states of the
Union. The genial Capt st. Clair
was kind of general superintendent
of the affair, and bore the honors well.
At the grounds the meeting was ably
presided over by the President of the
day. The Declaration of In
dependence was read in an
admirable manner by Comrade Ewing
of Equity Post g. A. r. This was
followed by an Grafton by Hon. c. NJ.
Simpson, of lola. ICY" made good
speech, and no mistake. He COM
manded the closest attention for an
hour, of those whom the high wind
permitted to hear. After dinner, A.
C. Scott of lola made a half hours
speech, after which various sports
were INDUCED in. All these exercises
were interspersed with good music by
the lola band and by chorus choir.
The day was ended by a magnificent
display of fireworks in the evening.
Equity is to be congratulated upon a
great success. Everything indicated
an enterprising, substantial and
cultivated community.

five hours. 1t had every appearance Of a

At Wabasha, about forty miles south

animals were overturned. Beyond a few
bruises and broken legs, however, no
damage resulted.
