FOURTH AT EDUCATION
Big Barbecue and Picnic Attracts Large
 Numbers There

Too many nice things cannot be said of the Masonic picnic and barbecue given at Boughton. Sat urday, nor Of the fine people of that place. whose hospitality made such an occasion possible.
 The 9 o'clock train carried a large number there, where al- ready had assembled crowds who came from the surrounding territory in wagons, buggies and on horseback The weather was ieol, and the spot selected for the scene of pleasure was a beau tiful grove close to the little church house, where beneath the heavy boughs of the >stalwart oaks relief was easily founl from the heated rays of the sun sun which seems to increase it's heating powers on July A.
 The exercises began with songs and recitations by local talent, followed by the install, ation of the officers of the lodge recently elected for the ensuing term. The event of the program however, was the address of Hon. ThOs. C. McRae. who for nearly an hour kept the attention of the large audience closely directed to one of the best speeches of Mir. McRae's career. It was inspiring and interesting, and was often cOmplimented by the crowd.
 But the dinner That's where Boughton came in for the most glory. No one present ever tast- ted better barbecued meat, nor did they ever present themselves to a table loaded with more of the substantial clements that i"ake up a good meal. Things to eat were there in every known kind, and when 1000 people had signified enough" basket after basket was re-filled with what was left
 In the afternoon there was work by the Eastern Star, and several ladies were initiated into the mysteries ohAthat order.
 While these latter exercises were being conducted. the bulk of the crowd enjoyed themselve in many innocent ways, ad alto Catlcr found much to amuse and | please them.
 To Rev. E.. Delaughter. ". l. Britt, W. R. Barham, Dr. McDan- iel and other leading citizens of Boughton. the people of this sec tion are indebted for a day of real enjoyment

FOURTH IN PRESCOTT
Everybody Leaves Town. and the City
 Enjoys Quiet Spell.

The Fourth in Prescott was very quiet. During the early hours of the morning, there was considerable stir by parties get ting off to the many points of attraction, and trade for a short while was active. But after 10 o'clock a quietness fell over the town that reminded one of Sun day and from that hour until the evening trains begin to arrive there was nothing doing in town. The principal points of interest," were Boughton, where the Ma sonic lodge gave a barbecue and picnic which was attended by several hundred of our people; the Sunday school picnic given by the Christian church at Prov idence, to which the entire mem bership was present, besides a number of others; a picnic at Me Intosh's Bluff attended by dOz- en or more couples of PrescOtt's leading young ladies and gentle men; Texarkana where fifty or more witnessed the grandesti celebration ever given by a city of that size in the south.
 Besides numerous fishing par ties of from two to six, who dot! ted the river, bayou, lake and creek banks of this section, all through the day returning in the evening late with fine show ing for their efforts. It is said that the fish caught on Satur- day was the greatest number ever caught in any one day in this vicinity.
 And the few who remained at home either lounged about the house all day, enjoying a brief rest, or took the oOccasiOn for one in which to catch up with some delayed work that the ac- tivities of routine duty had pre- viOusly prevented.
 But throughout it all their was

has been so good in Cashmere and
is increasing so rapidly that the Of
ficials of the railroad have decided
to make needed Improvements at
once. The platform will be extend
ed toward the east one hundred feet
and additions will be made to both
the waiting room and the freight
store room. 1t is also expected that
a separate room will be built to han
die the enormous express business
that is transacted in Cashmere dur
ing the summer months. With
these improvements everything will
be more handy and pleasant than
ever before and the great inconven-
fence and annoyance arising from
crowded rooms will in a large meas
ure be eliminated. With the in
creased length of the platform trains
will not block the crossing as hereto
fore-an evil which if successfully
remedied will be a source OF great
relief to all Cashmere.-Record.

a Fishing Party


nsning party composed of Geo.
w. Peterson, John Opperman,
L. d. Brewster and Frank Hem
street left overland for Horse
Creek, near Alton, Okla, last
Friday morning, where they will
spend a week or ten days fishing.
They took along a tent and all
other necessary paraphernalia for
light outdoor housekeeping.
Horse Creek is said to afford
splendid fishing, the stream be-
ing so full of fish that in mar
row places they crowd one anoth-
er out upon the banks. Besides
being amply stocked with all
kinds of edible fish, Horse Creek
is said to contain many kinds of
horned and clawed amphibians
that would make the eyes of an
ichthyopagist sparkle with de-
light.
John Opperman. by virtue OF
his knowledge of fish anatomy,
was appointed ichthyotomist, and
if his pay does not suit him we
are satisfied that he will raise
the scale!
Our fish poet, in anticipation
of what will be told upon their
return, has penned the following:
"He put bait upon his hook,
And with an unctious grin.
He rolled his pants up to his knees
And bravely waded in.
He cast his hook into the brook.
Right where big fish lay;
Itswallowed hook and line and pole.
And-n ade its getaway
When Pete called out, You've caught
trout
That's twice as big ag'in,
I'll come and help you pull him out,
Before he pulls you in.
The fish had done and got away.
But it weighed about a toni" They say!
