Yankee Picnic.

The Yankee picnic held at the Cook
plantation, | IL miles east of Bran
don, was ywell attended by northern
people, besides a few prominent
southern people.
Among the Northern States repre-
scented, Indiana furnished the greatest
number, Iowa next, with Illinois a
close third. There were about 60
present, mostly from near Brandon,
with others from Pelahatchie, Green
field, Florence and a few from near
Jackson. About twenty from Fannln
we're expected, but for some reason
they failed to come. They probably
had too much grass in their crops, as
most of farmers present reported a.
fine crop of grass.
Nearly all those present came
South In the last eight years. though
some have been here about sixteen
years and one over As years.
In conversation with them the
writer failed to find amy who wishe
to return to their old homes
While the sun has been hot the last
few days they all claimed that pros
trationS from heat are far less here
than where they came from. Most
of ladies do their own household work
and cooking and from the splendid
spread every one who partoOk of that
bountiful dinner will bear witness
that they are magnificent cooks.
Dinner was served at about, one
O'Clock under a magnificent elm tire
that cast a shade over about 800
square feet of green lawn in the nice
and we'll kept front yard. AS Wa
Were all assembled at the hastily con
structed table our genial host made a
short and very appropriate address
of welcome to his friends and neigE-
bors, after which he called ON brother
McGdlvra to return thanks, and then
you ought to have seen us eat.
Dinner over we gathered ON the
spacious southern porch tor gallery"
as it lis usually called here and listen
ed to some very interesting music
and speaking. The principal address
was delivered by our good friend,
Major Patrick Henry, in which he ma
us feel that we were not only wei
come to home in the State of Mis-
sisstppi, but were very much apprecia
ted, and he said it was his earnest
desire that there would be many NOR
of the same class of people to come
South in the near future, and hoped
to see the time before many years
that the Southern people would mon
generally unite with us in celebrs-
ting the glorious Fourth of July.
His address was responded to by
cur host and also by w. F. Owen
who made a. short talk on the hos
pitality of Southern people and tn
