Last Friday is day to be long re-
mcmbercd by the writer, as one of
pleasure and enjoyment, nlthought wo
were at Il strange place, u place that
| the writer had never been to Il
gathering before, but yet VIC were not
among strangers, but special personal
friends. That place was Bachmnn
Chapel church. The members of the
church gave barbecue in the inter
est of the church and to raise some
money for the church. The writer
reached there very early, but found
very good crowd there then and it look
ed like that there would be Il good
| attendance, but the crowd did not cX.
| coed lao persons big and little. We
| never saw II crowd enjoy themselves
better, not to have any speaking or
| some kind OF entcrtainmcnt but every
cody seemed to enjoy themselves to
! their hearts content. The old people
by shaking hands, talking OF the dry
| weather, crops and the Bowers murder
and many more absorbing questions
Tho young people by sporting and
counting. The barbecue was held
| Ju"t t2yuhd the church at Mr.. VIM.
Bobbs old home. The picnic the next
| day at Jolly street kept number of
we'll prepared, and pronounced excel
lent 10y those who ate of them. The
| writer was very sorry that he could
| not eat rs he had been up from the
typhoid fever only Il short time They
had prepared about ten carcasscs for
the cue, expecting larger crowd,
although nearly every one cat and
there were several carcasscs left, but
they sold'ncarly all the meat andhash.
We left too early to find out whether
or not they made anything or lost.
Saturday the writer took in Chill
drcns day and the picnic at Jolly
Street, but as he was not we'll he did not
enjoy the occasion as he would have
liked to have enjoyed it. Mr.. Kings
more is superintendent Of the Sunday
School there. The cXccriscs con-
sisted Of dialogues, rccitations, addcsscs
aud music by the children. There
were about $50 people present. We
had the pleasure OF grasping Push aud
PhilOs, hand there. Rev. j. a. Sigh
made an excellent address in the after
noon, which was to the point and was
we'll received. The young people
made good use Of their time and stad
until very late that afternoon.
