BARBECUE AT DUNLAP.

The special feature of July
4th was a barbecue and dance
given by the new manage
ment at Dunlap Springs, to
which attention had been
called through local papers.
Before the heat of the day
was felt, the hillside near the
entrance to this delightful
health resort was dotted
with horses and vehicles
bearing persons from far and
near who had but one idea,
which was to celebrate the
glorious 4th in restful quiet
and enjoy the waters Of West
Tennessee's fountain of
youth, as it has been so
styled. Delightful strains of
music, as produced by Edw.
Erhnfeld, director and lead
er of the orchestra of the
Grand Opera House, Mem
phis, and his able assistants,
added in no small degree to
the days pleasure. Messrs.
Stewart and Lewis. proprie-
tors, and Mr.. HI. B. Sherman,
manager, were untiring in
their efforts towards insur-
ing a happy day for each and
every one. Several tables
were arranged beneath the
trees on the western side of
the grounds which fairly
groaned WithBrunswick stew,
barbecued meats, breads, pic
kles and coffee to which am
pie justice was done by the
two hundred present. The
service was prompt and act
i've. In lieu of an address
from the orator of the day
who failed to materialize, af-
ter dinner talks were made by
Col. j. D. Newton, of the
jackson Wing, EditorReaves
and Rep. j. A. Foster.
The days amusements
terminated with dance in
the evening, which was we'll
attended. Dunlap is a beau
tiful place and we'll equipped
and deserves the patronage
of home folks.
Success to the manage
ment.

Kiowa and Wichita Lands Open
August 9Th.
Special to St. Louis Republic.l

Washington Special to St. Louis Republic.l
The long expected proc
lamation by the President
declaring the Kiowa-Com-
anche-Apache and Wichita
reservations in Oklahoma
open to homestead settlers
was signed by Mr.. Mckinley
on Friday and given to the
press to-day. By this proc
lamation all unreserved
lands in these tracts will be
open on August 6. There
will be no rush. The open
ing will be by lottery draw
ing. The preliminary regis
tration begins at Ell Reno
and at Lawton, near Fort
Still, on the morning of
Wednesday, July 10, and
continues until the evening
of Friday, July 26. The
drawing will begin at ElReno
on Monday, July 20.
The lands to be opened are
as follows: The Kiowa Res
ervation, after deducing the
lands allotted to the Indians
and reserved for school and
other purposes, will contain
1O,35l tracts of 100 acres each,
to be disposed of to the home
steaders. These are gen.
orally good lands, but there is
a certain percentage of poor
lands. The Wichita Reser-
ton, after deducing the lands
allotted to the Indians and
reserved for other purposes,
will contain 3, 122 tracts of
100 acres each. This res
ervation also contains a GER
tain percentage of poor lands,
but it is not quite so great as
in the Kiowa.
The highest number of
homestead claims which could
be taken in the two reserva-
tons, even if all the lands
were desirable, is Ii, 473.
None of these lands can be
obtained as free homes. They
must be paid for by all
claimants at the rate of 81. 25
per acre at the time of SUBJ
hitting final proof.
Any person desiring to
obtain a home must go in
person to one of the land Of
fees and show by written
proof that he is qualified to
take a homestead entry and
actually desires to do so. If
his proof is satisfactory he
will be registered as a quail
fed applicant and will be
given a certificate to that eff
feet and will draw a number
which will show the order in
which he will be permitted,
at the opening, to make a
selection of land.
No advantage will be gain
ed by being among the first to
draw, as those who register
on the last day will have just
the same chance to draw the
earlier number as those who
registered on the first day.
All applicants will be regis
tered and the certificates will
not be transferable.
After registering the APP
plicants will be permitted to
freely travel over the lands
and become familiar with
them, SO they may be able
to make a wise selection at

In MEMORIAM.

On last Saturday morning at the
home of his parents, G. w. and
Exer L. Prewitt, two miles north of
Grand Junction, Thos. ID. Prewitt,
aged eighteen years, fell asleep in
Christ. For tine weeks he was
very sick and, after medical skill
had prescribed the best remedies it
knew and loving hands had done all
they could, and still the suffering
was severe and the sufferer unre-
lieved, God saw that it was enough
and called him to Himself and, in
answer to this summons, his patient,
loving spirit quietly deserted its
tenement of clay and went home to
live with Jesus.
The funeral services were COLI
Quoted by the writer Monday morn
ing at lO:5U O'Clock in the Baptist
Church in the presence of large
number of friends and acquaintance.
The deceased professed faith in
Christ August, 1893, and joined the
Grand Junction Baptist Church the
next month. He was an earnest
Christian, a dutiful son and loving
brother. His gentle spirit, courte-
ous manners and genial good-nature
made for him many friends who
dearly loved him and by whom he
will be lovingly remembered.
Sorrowing loven ones, put away
from you GRIEF and look up with
praise and faith to Jesus Christ,
who will give you blessed comfort
and supply all needed grace and
strength.
I'm that great cloister's stiffness,

Safe from temptation, safe from sims pollution
He lives whom we call dead"

Every body is invited to come and
bring baskets. Refreshments, base

The semi annual statement of
the condition of the Bank of Boil
var, published elsewhere in to-day's
BULLETIN, speaks for itself. This
institution is in a prosperous condi.
ton. Its affairs are managed by
competent and courteous business
men.
George Nelson, colored, was
arrested by Constable Harris at Mos
cow Saturday, brought to Bolivar
by Sheriff Summons, and confined
in Jail. Nelson is a member of a
gang of six negroes, charged with
assaulting and robbing another ne
gro near Pocahontas in the latter
part of April. All of the gang have
been captured but one.
Go to Hudson's for a good
Pocket Knife, Razor, Strop,

The annual barbecue was given
at the Hospital July 4th. Scores
of carcasses were prepared in the
most appetizing manner and served
to the unfortunate insane. This
event is always looked forward to
with great pleasure, not only by the
inmates, but by all others connected
with the institution, and DR.. Dou-
glas' standing instructions are that
tie best and in abundance must be
served on the nations birthday.
One Of the most enjoyable af-
fairs of the season was the picnic
and barbecue given by the young
people Of Bolivar on the Fourth of
July at Kearney's Mill, in honor
of Misses Garrett, of Memphis,
Black, of Birmingham, Harris, of
Arkansas, johnson, of Texas. About
seventy-nve of our beautiful young
ladies and gallant young gentlemen
were present. The spread con-
sisted of iced water, lemonade,
delicious barbecue and scores
of other delicacies and good things
too numerous to mention. After the
appetite Of all present had been sat
isfed, enough was left to serve dou-
BILE the number. The day was most
pleasantly spent and will long be

was becominely gowned in pink.
Most toothsome delicacies were serv-
ed, together with salads, ices and
cakes. The souvenir menu cards
and decorated character apples adj

the table. A dainty softness, as
shed by pink candles, from can

touch to the whole, which was most
