but yes erday's was the most exten.

by a private citizen in this vicinity.
All the grown people enjoyed them

The train left the Chesapeake and
Ohio depot at 10 o'clock, aud arrived
at the grounds in about twenty min
utes. Those who were not already IA
miliar with the attractive place we're
greatly pleased with its appearance.
There are about ECO acres OF rolling
ground, with two excellent springs,
an orchard aud q residence, which is
on the bill fronting the railroad track.
Just what the medicinal properties Of
there springs are is not known, but
the water is very cool, has an excel
lent taste, and seems to be liked by
all. Todd & Gwinn's band was in at
tendance and discouIsed excellent
music, which was appreciated by
everyone present. The opening dance
was participated in by the following
named young gentleman: Napoleon
Hill, /. N. Snowden, j. s. Toof and A.
X. Ward. The names of the lady part
ners were not obtained owing TO the
carelessnE 81 OF a gentleman who was to
have obtained them for the APPEAL.
While many OF the grown people were
dancing most OF the children were in
the boats on the lake, having great
deal OF amusement. A few expert
gunners amused themselves shooting
at clay pigeons. When it was discov.
cred that the average of misses scored
above ninety-hve the tally sheets were
lost, and those who would have en-
loved reading them will have to wait
ill we get better chance to print
them. The dinner was one OF the best
ever eerved up in barbecue style
There were all the varieties OF good
things that one could we'll think of.
The parbecued mutton, pig, chickens,
etc., were prepared TO suit the taste Of
the most critical judges. All were
positive in the praise OF the food, the
manner in which it was prepared and
the style Of supplying 1t. Mr.. and Mrs
Galloway were unremitting in then
attention TO their guests, all OF whom
left thoroughly convinced that the
barbecue, in every detail, was all thai
could be desired. Just before leaving
the grounds to return home, u
Hue hes called the audience to order
said some pretty things about the
affair, and proposed three cheers and
tiger for Mr.. and Mrs. Galloway
The whole party responded with en-
thusiasm, and went to the train tc re
turn to Memphis On arriving at In,
depot omnibuses were in waiting e
convey the guests to their homes, al
through the determination OF Mr.
Galloway to look after the pleasure o
his guests from the time they came t
his place till their return home.
