The Nj. Zion Picnic.

The basket picnic at Mt. Zion
Wednesday was in all respects u
successful and enjoyable affair,
barring the extremely hot weather,
over which the promoters, of
course, had no control. The speak
ers Of the day were State Senator
John L. Hebron, of Washington
county, ex-Gov. j. X. Vardaman,
and the three candidates for Con-
gress in this district, Messrs. Tom
Shelton, Percy E. GUN and w. A.
Dickson. who spoke in the order
named. At the conclusion of Gov.
Vardaman's speech, just before
dinner was announced. Chas. w.
Thatcher, the original and unique
GOOD Roads APOSTLE" took the
stand to make few remarks and
announce the big good roads basket
picnic in Brookhaven today and
incidentally fairly conyulsed his
whole audience with laughter and
Inirth by his mimicry and story of
the old negro preacher and the
hornets nest.
Lack Of space forbids anything
more than a mention Of the several
political speakers. It was Senator
Hebron's first appearance before an
audience in this part of the State
but he made good, and his speech.
devoted largely to discussion of
last winters secret ballot caucus
and legislative session. was receiv-
ed with profound interest of his
hearers. He defended Senator Bill
bo from the ISLANDERS heaped upon
him ard commended him as one
who had proved himself true to the
common people. Gov. Vardaman' S
speech was pronounced one of the
ablest and most eloquent he ever
delivered, meeting the expectations
of his friends and winning admira-
tion and commentator from even
his few opponents present. The
Congressional candidates spoke
along their usual lines and each
was listened to with attention and
was literally applauded. However
it may have been divided as to the
Congressional candidates, the
crowd, composed of from l ZOO to
1900 people from the counties of
Lincoln, Copiah and jefferson, was
undoubtedly overwhelmingly for
Vardaman. Some estimated his
strength as high as 80 to 80 per
cent Of those present.
The hospitality of the Mt. Zion
people, as usual, was unbounded.
The editor of The Leader had the
very great pleasure of dining with
Bro. Grab Apple and his sweeter
half. and about the whole splendid
spread, was home raised, as might
have been supposed by the way
Grab Apple" lectures his brother
farmersson their sall-cotten foolish
ness.
After dinner Coz. Vardaman was
given seat in Mr.. Hiram Casse-
dy's auto with Messrs. Thatcher
and j. W. McGrath and was carried
over to Mission Hill and addressed
picnic crowd there that was ex-
pecting him.

losing business through the saloons
at Vicksburg. The good old times
of few months ago. when Morrisy
and his friends had a corner on the
wet goods business for Vicksbarg,
have disappeared, and the way the
officials view the matter around the
State house is that the governor
must either put a stop to the open
violations of the prohibition law
or call an extra session Of the legis-
lature and repeal the prohibition
act. Jackson Special.
