THE HOG POND PICNIC
A Big Crowd and a Hilarious Time

Big lfOWu ana hilarious Time
The Hog Pond annual picnic
and barbecue held on Thursday,
Sept. :, was a union gathering of
the Fellowship, Blltchton, Stan
dard and Fantviile nelghbor-
hoods, and was attended by about
400 people, and it was the gene raj
verdict that 1t was the most
pleasant of the many gatherings
that have been held on that
popular ground. There was no
speaking - just a grand social
time and the best dinner that
man ever sat down to. There
were barbecued for the occasion
three beeves, four porkers, eight
sheep and four kids, and every
one said the meat was the best
cooked that they had ever seen,
and certainly it was the best bar
becued meat that the Star re-
porter ever ate of. There were
used on the long table four bar
rels of bread sliced carefully, and
all manner Of sauces, pickles and
other relisheS adorned the table
and added Zest to the flavor of
the good meats. The committee
provided an abundance of wooden
trays to eat from, and the good
ladies brought scores of beautiful
and delicious cakes, pies and GUS
tards of every known variety.
These, with All abundance OF ice
water ca thousand pounds Of ice
being uScd), made a dinner that
would satisfy the most exacting.
Each one We'd with the other
in making the numbers Of stran-
gers feel at home, and to see that
they were well served. Ben
FrcymOuth and Arch Mclvcr
supcrintended the cooking of the
meat, and with Professor StrO-
Zicr and a number of others,
served the meats and looked well
to the comfort of all. Ben Bitch
and his estlmabe wife, with their
corps Of assistants, conducted
lemonade and ice cream stands
| for the benefit Of the new Bitch
ton Baptist church, and sold an
immense amount Of their delicious
refreshments. Their net receipts
could not have been much short
of $50.
A confederation Of the good
people of these neighborhoods is
success to any undertaking, and
this plcn,c and barbecue was one
Of their best efforts.
Among those who attended
from Ocala (and all say they will
go again next year1-were General
