number of prominent planters of
the fertile Red River valley drove
over to witness the grinding of
cane, the making of syrup and
last, but not most important, to
congratulate Mr.. McVea on the
success of his undertaking. At
noon the guests were invited into
the pacing room of the mill, where
a spread had been prepared to
slgnalize the occasion. The repast
was a bounteous one and consist
ed OF numerous toothsome danties.
most important of which were the
old fashioned batter cakes, with
newly made open kettle molasses
from the new mill. Among those
present were Mr.. and McVea,
Mrs. L. E. Dibble and Miss Mary
and Rosa Smith, of Benton; Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Dickson, of Dixie:
Mr.. and Mrs. W. T. Colquitt, Mr..
Mrs. W. H. Colquitt, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. M. Sentell, Messrs. J. C. Logan,
}. W. Jeter, J. M. Arnold, Henry

Bell, W. L. Boggs, and C. Scott
Delay of the Times.
Mr.. McVea planted this year q
acres of cane, one-half of which
will be converted into syrup this
year. The remainder will be used
as seed cane, which with the stub
hle of this year will give Mr.. Nc
Yea nearly 100 acres of cane next
year. A number of planters of
the upper Red River valley will
plant some cane next year and
will either erect mills or convert
their cane into molasses at the
mill of Mr.. NcVea.
