JACK CARVER SERVES A ,cUE.
Dined His Friends sumptuousry at H,s
Farm Last Friday.

Farm Last Friday.
President A. J. Carver of the National
bank entertained his friends with q 0en-
uine old-fashioned Georgia barbecno
ats his farm, three miles sontb of
Dawson, last Friday.
There were about a hundred Opas+S
and is safe to say that none of them ever
spent day more pleasantly. Both Mr.
Carver and his manager, Mr.. D. J. Den.
MIS-, exerted themselves to make the oc-
casion thoroughly enjoyable, and moth
ing was left undone that could contribute
to the pleasure or comfort of each ono
present.
Juicy melons and tempting fruits were
on the ground in profusion. and were
freely partaken of while the 'cue was
cooking and the aroma, waited upon the
breezes, was sharpening the appetites of
the jolly and congenial company.
1t was about o'clock when the lamb
kid, pig. beef and fowls attained perfec,
ton under the skilled manipulation of
those barbecue artists, William Huckabv
and Henry Butler, and was placed on
the tables arranged under sheds for the
occasion. When the guests had taken
their places before the plates the Lords
blessing was invoked by Rev. J. How.
ard Carpenter, after which the temptinp
meats were enjoyed as only those who
are fond of perfectly cooked barbecue
can enjoy such things.
A feature of the day was an exhibition
of Mr.. Carver's farm mules, and four
teen handsomer or better-kept animals
were never seen anywhere. Mr.. Carver
had offered prizes to his hands for the
three best kept mules, and the commit
tee decided that all were entitled
to prize, and made that recon-
mendation. They were fine speci-
mems of farm stock, and attracted much
attention AID admiration.
No similar occasion was ever greater
success, and each guest was unanimous
in the verdict that Mr.. Larver's superior
as host was yet to be found.
