The Horse Creek Celebration.

EDITOR CHIKFTAIN:-Your correspond
ent had the pleasure of attending the
grand barbecue on the 3rd out on
Horse creek, near Mayor Trott's farm,
twelve miles east Of town. 1t was
planned in the interest of erecting q
new school house in the neighborhood.
Four fat cattle, less one quarter re-
served by donor, were donated and
the labor was also without expense.
Three dance floors, an equal number
Of lemonade stands, swings, apple wag-
ons and picture gallery each paid a
license tax which aggregated over $40.
Poor shade for the speakers stand
and the absence )f seats rendered that
part of the programme somewhat un-
satisfactory. Another misfortune was
the lack Of rousing speakers. The
president Of the day introduced sever
al gentlemen but their speeches were
conspicuous for what was not said.
Yet, we give them due credit for show
ing willing mind to help on the gen.
eral enjoyment. Uncle Charley Wing
field gave the most entertaining talk
Music by a small choir directed by Mr..
I. d. Hitchcock interspersed the other
exercises.
There would have been nothing, no
black spot, to mar the pleasure Of the
day, save and except for the presence
of an unwecome woman with a half
barrel of miscalled "cider." II must
have been some that was hid away or
stolen from that stuff the sheriff spilled
at Vinita a couple of years ago and
which made the hogs cut such comical
antics. One man in particular got an
overdose of the "hell-bane, poison
stuff and made himself so obnoxious
that Luke sixsi!ler and his guards had
to forcibly assist him ia retiracy. A
number of others went almost as far.
think the shameless insult to our la
dies should never have been permitted
and when stopped the nasty stuff
phould have been spilled. Certainly 90
out of every 100 persons on the ground
would have justified such a course.
am told that this same woman, who
halls from Vinita, attended Sunday
school picnic, held few weeks ago on
Cabin, five or six miles below town,
and sold her beverage Of hell" am
furtl r told that more than one little
school boy drank Of it and became fool
ishly tipsy. If this is true why don't
parents, friends or parties interested,
attend to the matter and so efectually
too that "said large party" will never
again so shamelessly insult decent
people?
1t is estimated that 500 to 600 persons
were on the ground. All had plenty
to eat and drink. In haste,
