The Ruford Colt Show.

The Buford Colt Show.
The olt shew at Rockdale Stock
Farm on last Tut sday was most
complete succ'ss The crowd was
large and orderly and the day was
all that could have been wished for.
People from all parts of Giles Coun-
ty were there. Maury, Wayne,
Marshall, Lincoln and other coun-
ties sent their delegations. and
many lovely ladies graced the oc-
casion with their presence.
Shortly after ten O'Clock the show
began with Capt. r. A. Mitchell as
master OF ceremonies. The compe-
tition for the premiums by the
owLers of the different colts was
spirited, but friendly. No dlfleren-
ences OF any kind occurred to mar
the pleasure of /. day. 1t was IN
deed, a occasion OF un tlloye pleas
ure and the g OIL people OF Bufords
we'll sustained their widespread
reputation for hospitality. The
dinner was fit for kings feast and
Was plentiful enough to have fed
double the number present. Ate
halt an hour spent in recreations
and pleasant strolls the show ring
was again cleared and grand dis
play of the Rockdale stations and
fine brood mares was given for the
benefit of those present. Every
body then repaird to the race-track
and saw some of the fastest pacing
for a two year-old on record.
The sun was low in the ives,
when the vast concourse began tt
dispense and every one went home
satisfied with the manner In which
he or she had spent the day.
The CITIZEN reporter was given
cause to ever remember his frs
visit TO the Buford neighborhood
Most assuredly the people of tina
community are the ''salt of the earth
and we can bear testimony TO tn
fact that their reputation for hospi
tality and knowing how to enter
tain is deserved.
