Several of Webster's we'll known cit
liens, who came oyer to Americus yes
terday, substantiated the glowing state
ments made by the fifty Americus cit
liens who attended the monster barbe-
cue at Preston on Thursday, and who
are still taking about it.
Opinion is unanimous that Webster g
cue was the biggest success and the
most enjoyable occasion of like kind
that the people of south Georgia have
witnessed IN many years.
Three thousand visitors thus partook
of the open handed hospitality and en-
joyed the day.
Not only from Webster, but from
every town and hamlet in Sumter, Ter
rell, Stewart, Ohattahoochee, Ran
dolph, Quitman and other counties the
people went in numbers. II was q
holiday occasion, and one that will
long be remembered.
And Webster's gates were opened
wide and welcome extended all.
County lines were obliterated in ex-
tending invitations, and all of south
western Georgia was hidden to come to
Webster q feast
Farmers with their wives, sturdy sons
and pretty daughters, the business man,
the professional man - all gathered
there for day of unalloyed pleasure,
such as Preston had promised. And
the pronise was kept to the fullest ex-
tent and more.
Three thousand people make an i'm.
mense crowd when in compact form,
and sea Of faces greeted the speaker,
Mr.. Hoke Smith, and for more than an
hour listened intentIy to what he said
regarding the gubernatorIal campaign.
But aside from this feast OF elo-
quence and flow of SOUL" there was
another feast, which appealed with
equal force
This was the monster barbecue to
which came the multitude.
In the grove near the courthouse the
long tables were spread with the most
delicious cue and other viands, and in
prodigal abundancef for the 5000 guests
there assembled and as many more. A
more superb feast was never before
spread in Georgia.
Good cheer reigned supreme and
the citizens CT Webster were most as
siduons in seeing to it that their guests
were abundantly supplied with the
tempting viands. 1t was indeed a mag.
nificent dinner, and withal an enioya.
BILE occasion.
Old Webster had promised much.
but she gave even more.
