THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE.
Preparation of the Feast as Described
by One Who Has Had
Experience.

The way we fix for barbecue is TO
begin to get ready the day befo'. The
meat is roastin' all night, says
writer in Outing. We have plenty OF
dinerent kinds-shote, calf, kid and
goat--and we roast EN- whole. a
trench is dug and oak bark Goals put
in. Then sticks are lai across for the
shote and other creatures to rest on.
Some white man has this in charge.
but the niggers keep the fires goin'
an do the basting and the rough
work. The next day everybody comes.
There's a detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go and set down by some tree to
eat it. OF course, there's potatoes and
cornmeal, light-bread and pickles and
cake, and there's ice cream, and there's
pure, genuine coffee that the old ladies
make in abundance. Then there's fried
chicken if anyone is faStidious enough
TO want it. and some enterprising fellow
is likely to bring a dozen bottles OF
beer and invite his special friends out
to his buggy to drink it. But the
best thing 10 my thinkin' is the shote.
A man hasn't got any part in the resur-
rection until he's eaten barbecued shote.
