THE FARMERS UNION PICNIC Is
SATURDAY.

The inflow to this picnic began re-
ally Friday July 2, the day before,
account the Farmers Union County
Convention and Farmers Institute
held then. At an early hour Saturday
morning the town gean to show a
greatly enhanced population and by
noon the crowd had grown to about
fifteen hundred souls as we'll as they
could be estimated considering the
way scattered. All efforts to secure
prominent speakers from abroad
failed as did securing the band. Two
school-teachers, namely Brock and
Ferguson were pressed in to make
the addresses, which they did amidst
the tremendous heat and restiveness
of the folks about the dinner hour.
The speakers stand, seats and table
were erected at a very unfortunate
place, the grove near depot, as the
place is low and shade but scant.
The barbecued meats were splendid
ly cooked and plentiful, so nobody
could lack for a good square feed.
But few baskets were brought. Saw
ing the speaking. ball game and
pay recital that night, the amuse-
ments end of the day were practi-
cally as nil as we ever saw it in
Leakesville on such ar occasion. Ev
identity the Farmers Union are I'M.
learnt yet in planning the enter
tainment of a crowd, though they
know how to provide good repast.
The extreme heat of the day inter
fered some with its enjoyment, not
a qulver of a leaf could be noticed in
the trees, this lack of breeze made
the heat more intense. There were
many family reunions. The Lind
quists took the plum for decorations
in national cOlors.
