The Wilson Springs Barbecue.
Editor Democrat-Star.

Editor Democrat-Star.
Many anxious candidates and festive voters
looked forward with much pleasure TO MAY
sd and the barbecue to be held at the now
famous Wilson Springs. The weather for
weeks previous TO that day had been the best.
The good managers had begun their cooking
aud preparing in the true old time way, on
the evening Of the 22d, and everything booked
most promising, bu. during the night, at a
time when the beef, mutton ard pork were
about half cooked the rain began to pour
down, and for twentieth four hours continued
almost steady.
In spite Of all this there was about four
hundred persons in attendance. and about 10
o'clock the candidates began to speak under
the large Methodist tabernacle, and speech
making, songs and music by two excellent
brass bands were kept up until the approach
Of night drove us all home.
Had the weather been good 1t is reasonable
to believe there would have been at least one
Thousand persons present, and had this num-
Der attended there would have been plenty Of
food for all. As it was, many times the scrip
tural baskets full Of fragments could have
been gathered.
The management under the able leadership
Of DR.. B.. F. Duke, deserved and received the
thanks Of the hundreds present.
The music BY the two bands and the songs
BY friend McGregor were much enjoyed.
shant compliment any Of the other can
didates, for they talked so long that this
scribe did not get a chance to get of his little
speech. As there was water everywhere this
%floatar's floating capacity was fully tested.
Seeing the great Inconvenience and often
loss in barbecueing meats, | suggested to our
clever people that in future they use cooked
canned beef instead of the barbecued meat.
Cooked canned beef in 25-pound cans can be
bought at Scents per pound good bakers
bread can be had at scents per pound, one
quarter of pound of canned beef would be
enough to feed one person, and eleven or at
most twelve cents would feed four, and fifteen
to twenty dollars would be ample to feed five
hundred people. With canned meat sliced
and laid between two pieces of bread we
would have a lunch fit for 4 king, and at the
figures of expense proven above our candi-
dates can we'll afford to pay for several more
"cannecures," which is the name suggested
IN place of barbecues. NJ. A. DEES.
