We are having dry weather
in this section now, but it looks
very much like raining this
afternoon.
Well, as l am tired now l just
can't think of anything inter
esting. l have just returned
from our mail box which is some
distance from here. But first
of all l will correct mistake |
made last week. Mr.. j. N. Re-
gan entertained his friends Sat-
urday afternoon, not Sunday.
Our picnic passed off very
pleasantly and was much enjoyed
by all who were fortunate
enough to attend. We had
good many able speakers for
the occasion. First, Rev. F.
F. Eure introduced Hon. E.
J. Britt, who spoke on education,
and then Mr.. J. A. Barker in
troduced his friend and partner,
Mr.. Johnson, who entertained
the people for about thirty min
utes and after hearty applause the
crowd gathered around the long
table, which was bountifully
spread with everything good to
eat. After spending an hour or
more most pleasantly, all were
invited back under the oaks
in the cool breeze to enjoy the
, other speeches, the speakers
for the afternoon being Messrs.
M. G. Mckenzie, G. B. Mcleod,
, E. M. Britt and others.
Mr.. E. j. Britt stated in his
speech that there were men
, there that were can
didates and as he was not he
! would make his talk very short.
! Mr.. McLeodsaidhe was acandidate
/ and E. j. Britt ought to be if he
was not-the very idea o. a man
that did not have a wife get up
. andsay he was nota candidate"
v He also said he thought they
: had better box up all the old
: bachelors and sell them to the
i highest bidder. There Mr.. D. C.
q Regan, one of our oldest bache-
: lors, politely got up and said he
: was up for the business. Mr..
d Mcleod again said he was not
q the only candidate there fol
It Mr.. E. C. McNeill and T. N.
v Higley were there and he noticed
e at dinner Mr.. Higley got every
v chicken foot there was on the
table, so as to be fastest in thu
race. Mr.. Higley was running
}. as hard as any man possibl.
