Beulah, July 6.-The Fourth mas
come and gone. The celebration was
4 grand success and everyone was
pieased with the manner in which Il
was conducted. That Mr.. W. A. Shell
by and the committee done their part
goes without saying, and if anyone
did not get enough to eat it was not
the fault Of the management, even II
they came at the eleventh hour, Ior
there were great kettles Of choWdr
and steaming kettles Of coffee, Win
great piles of not fish and plenty Of
bread and other stuff at : o'clock when
| left. The reading Of the Declaration
by r. Pope Reese was GOOD, and that
grand old Declaration should be laugh.
in every school under the flag until
every pupil, without regard TO sex
could quote it all or in part as occa-
sion required. Then they would better
understand the significance OF that
grand old Bill Of Rights and what 1t
means to them as future American
citizens.
The speeches of R. Pope Reese, Jas.
f. Landrum, Hon. Jno. S. Beard, Geo.
T. Morgan and Hon. T. E. Welles hav-
ing been commented on in another
issue of The Journal l will only say
that they were good and to the point.
The charge that we are drifting from
The teachings of cur forefathers gives
us food for thought, for gradually get
ting away from the teachings we sure
" are.
All were sorry that Mr. Beard could
rot finish his address on account of
his threat troubling him and hope
that nothing serious was the matter
and that he is all right by this time.
Brother Shelby, as master Of cere-
monies, was surely a bowling success,
and | wondered as / stood by which
would be the worst to endure to be
roasted by an enemy or toasted by a
friend
Among the visitors from abroad was

Thos. Garrett, wife ana little daugh-
ter of Milton, Mr. Gus Hinote and

greet their parents and enjoy a day
free from care together. The young

Thos. Shelby, born June %. 1905, and
he was the king pin of the reunion for
he is Nellie's boy.A
The picnic and fish fry at Mr.. A. J..
Busbby's another family reunion, was a
success In every particular. We know
whereof we speak for we were there.
The day LAS passed pleasantly in
social intercourse and playing games,
interspersed with ice cream and other
refreshments. Everything was there
in plenty and if any one failed to get
what they wanted il was not he fault
of A. j., for he is the prince of enter
tainers and wanted everyone to have
a good time, as the picnic was. gotten
up in honor of his sister, Mrs Sarah
Cox of Evergreen, Fla, and brother,
Tom, of East Bay.
John Hirst, Jr., did not come from
Mississippi for nothing. for with the
assistance of the sheriff, who loaned
him his rig, he skipped out with Miss
Maggie Waters, of Beulah, and they
were married the evening Of the
Fourth of July. l have heard that
they have gotten their things together
and gone to Gulfport, Miss. but am
not sure of their destination.
