Now of all things most inter
esting to US was the grand stock
show last Saturday. l hope your
readers will indulge us while we de
tail. Saturday being the day sci
apart to have a stock show, at an
early hour the crowd began to as
sem BILE and by ten o'clock the
grounds were crowded with courte
Gus gentlemen and beautiful ladies,
Some stock was brought into the
neighborhoOd the evening before
But it was certainly grand to be-
hold the gathering of fine stock
next morning. AS the parade was
arranged to take place at L O'Clock
p. H., the crowd was invited to the
shade beneath the stately beaches
and oaks whose beautiful foliage
swayed to and fro in graceful undu
lation as the. gentle zephyrs played
among their branches. There the
ladies began and spread the most
sumptuOus feast it has ever been
your humble servants privilege to
enjoy. Flesh, fish and fowl in album
dance, and all the appetizing Access
series that the culinary artist could
devise. When the feast was over
many basketfuls of fishes and
lOaves were gathered up. Now,
here they come. 1st. It. jeff. Vaugn
