going to have fences why not have a
law to compel people to have lawful
fences? Some have very sorry fences

heads, when really they are at fault
by not having fence that cow can't

While the writer does not own COW

Cattle would not go over four and a

FORT mccoy BARBECUE.

Correspondence Ocala Banner:
OF all the county picnics and barbe-
cues we have ever been too we will
say the one Friday at Fort Mccoy was
the best and the greatest
Fort Mccoy is six miles from the
nearest railway station, and six miles
from the nearest steamboat landing,
yet there were one thousand people
at the picnic Friday.
Fort Mccoy never does things by
halves when celebrating her annual
feast days. Inc spirited people of
that place combined few weeks prev
ious to this event and wrote to the
governor of Florida at Tallahassee to
come down and feast with them and
TO give them one Of his eloquent
speeches for which he is now so ia
nous.
The governor came. OF course he
came. He could not very well help it.
He was bound to come when such
prominent people as Mr.. E. L. Wart-
man, of Citra and Hon. ]. w. Ste
vens and Rev. Harmon Martin were on
the committee who correspondent
with him at Tallahassee.
Four beeves, ten sheep, four kids,
constituted the barbecued meats.
There were two ice cream stands on
the grounds and refreshments in that
line were plentiful.
A short while after eleven 49,
after nearly everyone had arrived.
Rev. Martin in his most fervid and
eloquent manner Of speaking intro
duced Governor Napoleon Bonaparte
Broward, of Tallahassee, to the one
thousand men, women and children
assembled.
The governor speech was the finest
that he had ever heard. The COVER
nor is a great speaker. He will equal
Senator Bailey or Hoke Smith, in our
opinion.
The draining of the everglades was
what he spoke about, but since reports
have already gone in to the Banner
we will not repeat However, we
will say, that before the governor
finished speaking he had the whole
gathering on his side so plain did he
show and explain what he was talk
ing about pertaining to the drainage
of the everglades of Florida.
The governor said that this was the
largest country gathering that he
had so far spoken to.
He paid a most beautiful tribute to
the ladies before closing his before
dinner talk. and they, too, were con-
WINGED that the governor was right in
his drainage platform.
Three cheers were given a. Cae end
of the governors talk before dinner.
He talked for about two hours be-
fore dinner We do not know how
long he talked after dinner as we had
to leave before he finished talking.
