The Blue Ribbon Fair, Barbecue and
Picnic at j. A. Reyburn's, southeast of
town, on last Saturday, attracted a
large number Of visitors. They came
from every section and several differ
ent counties were represented. Arri-
walls began pouring in early in the
morning and continued until long after
the noon hour. 1t was estimated that
the attendance was fully one thousand.
The weather was extremely warm but
the day was an ideal one for picnic.
The sun shone from cloudless sky and
the rays came down with ever increas-
ing heat and ferceness. The crowd.
apparently, was oblivious to the warm
weather and all seemed TO fully enjoy
the day and occasion. The races we're
a decided relief to the usual dull mon
otony of picnic programme, and fur
nished considerable entertainment and
pleasure to everybody. The occasion
was unanimously declared a decidedly
successful one, and the pleasant recol-
lections thereof will not soon be for
gotten. Following is a list of the con-
