AN UNIQUE PROGRAMME.

The first day of tho reunion there
was carried out a programme unique
in conception and highly amusing i'm
execution. IL was designed that those
who witnessed it. many of them being
Northern people, could have correct
iiea of the old time sports which pre-
vailed In the smaller villages and rural
hametS of the South
Prominent among these sports were
the sack races. the obstacle races, the
iaughable efforts of contestants to climb
creased pole. still races. the tug-of-
war chasing the CREASED pig, the hen.
turkey and other races requiring tests
Of skill and strength.
These contests were participated in by
about forty people, mos, of whom were
colored. Prizes were offered for the
winners of each. and the fun was up-
roarious.
In the evening there was n cake walk.
jig dancing and singing. illustrative of
the habits Of the olden time darkey.
To-day this programme was repeated
with additional attractions. Afterward
the pilgrims took evening trains for
their homes and the reunion was at an
end.
lust prior to the dispersion Of the
party meeting was held at Piney
Woods Inn. where 1t was agreed to con-
t.nue the reunions every year, the one
for 1887 10 be held the week before
Christmas at Plney Woods Inn.

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, TINT SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valae good health. Its beneficial
effects are que to the fact, TINT it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
