shower having fallen the evening before,
the air was cool, and every ycstige Of (,
dust was gone At an early hour farm I
efs, with happy looking wives and chill 4
dren, were arriving at the picnic aud !
barbecue grounds, on the banks OF |
Green's creek, In grove pronounced by 4
all the most beautiful 10 the county. By /
10 O'Clock The crowd had become quite a
large one, and many faces were seen that !
came from the nearby towns For once 4
everybody had the appearance OF being in !
good hnmor, and at 1880 when Judge (
j. IL. jackson arose to address
the audience he, too, looked happy I
Almost everyone present admitted that /
be spoke the words Of soberness aud |
truth, and his speech was listened TO with /
profound earnestness He advised the /
farmers TO depend less upon muscle and
more upon brain power, to know the
men for whom they vote TO be honest and
CAPABLE. He was pretty hard on the
class that deals IN futures, aud denomin-
aied them midnight gamblers AT the
close Of his speech the Stephenyllle brass
band rendered some iine music
Hon. w l.. McGaughey of Hood then
made an animated aud well-receiyed
speech, mentioning his good record in
the last legislature, and promising to be
still faithful TO the interest OF the public
good II reelected. People about here
think the colonel will "get there" In
November.
AT this sage OF the proceedings dinner
was announced large amount OF
meat had been barAecued and In good
style TOO, lluudreGs of pounds OF bread
had been bought, and too many baskets
TO count had been brought in, filed with
such good thiugs TO eat as only the good
wife OF tie thrifty farmer knows how TO
prepare. Good order prevailed at the
table and after the desires OF the inner
man had been satisfied, 5000 people re-
turned 10 the speak RS stand, where they
listened for one hour and half To the
we'll sounding words OF Col. Swain. The
colonel pleaded guilty to desire to DO
! governor Of Texas, and thought any
man ought 90 be proud of the
fact. He discussed his position on the
lease law, which is already well under
stood, and thought that this law, instead
of Tetardng settlement, had been the
means Of advanci II, aud had caused
the leased lands to go up from one dollar
to two dollars and tfly cents per acre
Col. Swain no doubt feels proud OF the
] approving cheers which frequently greet
cd him yesterday.
The festivities Of tho day closed with .
grand bali ut night, and while the 18Th o
May is gone, us lappy memories vii
loHg remain.
