HARDINSBURG PICNIC.

Despite the rain in the morning and
an uncertain forenoon, people swarmed
to the Red Mems picnic last Saturday.
1t was a sober crowd of people bent up
on pleasure; the temperature and lack
of dust worked hand in hand with the
picnic committees until it was one of
the best picnics possible.
Every body did his part and no
money was lost by "the braves" who
gave the picnic.
So for as learned the prizes offered
were given as follows: The ten dollars
for the biggest family went to Lee
Walls, he having fifteen present, count
ing grandchildren. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gid Jolly's baby was decided prettiest,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Orville F. Franks
was second. Miss Nellie Burk, of Clo-
verport, received the premium for be-
ing the prettiest young lady. Miss
Annie Simmons received the watch for

TAR SPRINGS BARBECUE.

will not soon be forgotten by those in
attendance at the barbecue, because
there was something doing all the time.
Every thing happened to make the
picnicers have real Fourth. Those
who were not there, not only missed
the time of their life, but the fight of
their life.
The Tar Springs was in perfect readi-
ness for the visitors early Saturday
morning and though the clouds kept
many from going, a large crowd had
gathered by noon. A splendid bar
becue dinner was prepared and ices and
refreshments of all kinds were sold.
The merry go-round and the skating
rink were most popular and the young
folks patronized until late that night.
The music furnished by the Hardins-
burg colored band was good and added
to the gayiety of the day.
Misses Mamie Hawkins and Alma
Perkins were the winners in the
popularity contest and received three
days board at the hotel.
Much to the regret of the manager of
the Springs, fight occurred about $3.50
O'Clock in the afternoon. The cause
of it has not leaked out, but many say,
and doubtless tbs true, that whiskey
was the root of it. The fight was be-
tween two men and an onlooker under

separation was accomplished one of
