The Priceville Barbecue.

If there are two things which the
average Lexingtonian loves above
others, those two things are a good
barbecue dinner and a political meet
ing, and both of these treats were
abundantly provided by the manage
ment of the barbecue at Pricevllle
on Saturday, where large crowd
assembled in the beautiful grove IN
front of Franklin Keisler's store.
Long before the hour for the speak
ing to begin the woods swarmed
with candidates anxious to tell the
"dear people" how much they loved
them and how faithfully they would
be served by their elevation to Office.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Pierce G. Taylor
took the chair and announced that
speaking was in order.
He first introduced E. T. Rauch,
a candidate for Clerk of the Court.
He said he felt qualified to fill the
Office and hoped he would getit.
J. E. B, McCartha spoke next, say
ing that he wanted to collect the
taxes and, if elected, would do his
best to please the tax payers.
Col. D. T. Barr then spoke, max
ing reference to what he would try
to do if elected to the House Of Rep
resentatives.
Mai. Koon closed with speech of
some length, giving a synopsis OF
several new bills that be thought
ought to become laws for the good
of the farmer, mechanic and labor
ing people, which seemed to take
we'll with the audience.
The cue was "excelsior," and but
for the heat the day was very en-
ioyable one. The event of the day
was the singing of Maj. Rooms song,
which was published in the Dispatch
On the 25th of March, "The farmer
is the man that feeds them ALL" by
J. H. Koon, Reuben Price, Killian
Price and few others. The audi
snce was delighted with the words
and music.

An Uns olicited Testimonial

From the Democrat, Atianta, Ie4as.
"Being constantly asked by many
of my friends if Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People were doing me
any good, I offer this unsolicited
testimonial and answer. Never hav-
ing seen well day since I had ty-
phoid fever Jast summer, I could
retain scarcely any food, my limbs
and joints ached and panied all the
time. It was misery to me to rise
up in bed and my mind was clouded,
in fact I was a physical wreck and /
felt that my life was drawing to a
close, and I must confess it was
without regret on my part as my
sufferings were almost unbearable.
"Since I commenced to take DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, at the solicita-
tion of my wife, I have taken four
boxes, and I feel like a new man.
My appetite is good and I now re-
tain what I eat, my limbs and joints
are free of pain and I have gained
ten pounds in weight. My life fees
renewed and while not yet entirely
we'll, I feel so much better that 1
unhesitatingly assert that 1 believe
Pink Pills for Pale People good
medicine for what they are recon-
mended. Knowing that no medicine
will save life under all circumstances
or in all cases, yet I do honestly be-
lieve that they have prolonged mine,
or at least, where all was dark and
gloomy and full of suffering it has
been changed for the better.
''The manufacturers of this medi-
cine do not know of my taking it.
Neither am paid for this statement,
but give it freely in answer to friends
and the editor of this paper.

pressure is brought to bear we shall
never return to the old organization y
said Ballington Booth this afternoon.
Concerning the new organization, he
said that it is to be thoroughly Ameri
can throughout Its plan of orgaoiza-
ton is very similar to that of the Uni
ted States army. The officials will
have similar titles, and all terms used
are to be American.
''The work we shall do will be in
many respects sinilar to that done by
the Salvation army, for We believe
there is abundant room for both armies
to labor. Indeed, We have no wish to
ipjure or thwart the old organization in
eny way.
lin addition to this We shall labor
among the classes ofpeople whose con
ditioos heavily on our hearts have of
late lain. These are first the boatmen
who are employed on the great rivers
of this country. Then the many intel
ligent people in the prisons. who have
gotten themselves there by some deed
committed in moment Of passion.
Among these there are large numbers
of we'll educated people whose prisons
we mean to penetrate in order to save
their souls, and chen lastly, we intend
to work among the laboring men"
Speaking of gaining recruits from
the Salvation army, he said: "Of
course, | cannot tell how many will
come to US from the old organization.
We do not urge them to come, for we
do not want them unless they come of
their own accord
