Dockery Barbecue.

The Dockerys,,.,John c. and
Jim M.----did themselves proud
today. They have consolidated
for the coming year the various
Dockery farms four miles south
of the city, making under their
management a ll2-horse farm.
They today served their helpers,
tenants and city friends splen-
did barbecue, and a most fell
cious occasion it was.
The J. M. Dockery residence
was chosen for the place, and
125 colored and IFS whites, gath
cred for the feast of editables.
Seats had been arranged under
the huge oak, and here the
friends were entertained with
speeches by War Y. M. {. A.
Secretary Ozmer Henry, W. L.
Parsons, w. N. Everett and L. J.
Bell. The colored folks sang
typical "old time" songs, and a
white quartette rang in the more
modern selections.
The barbecue was suited to
the most exacting. Carl Shores
was chief chef, and the two
beeves, lamb, kid and porker
were seasoned just right, to say
nothing of the Brunswick Stew.
Master of Ceremonies John {,
Dockery asked Mr.. Frank Pegues
to invoke the blessing, after
which the crowd "fell to" with
a will. After they had partaken
cigars were passed, and then the
colored friends were served.
All in all, the occasion was II
every way a success.

SATURDAY is STRAWBERRY
DAY" IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, July 24.-Saturday has
been designated as strawberry day.
in Great Britain. Since the govern
ment commandeered the fresh fruit
crop for jam purposes for the soldiers,
Saturday is the only day in the week
when the public may buy strawber-
ries.
The berries retail at 18 cents a
pound and are in great demand. Be-
fore the Strawberries were comman-
deered by the government the price
was about thirty-six cents pound.
With the Strawberry Saturday al
SO came the strawberry queue .
Many housekeepers bought FIVE and
six pounds, if the storekeepers would
allow them that many, and endeavor-
ed to get more for jam making. Near
.ly all cream from the. English dairies
goes to the cheese factories, so straw
berries and cream, even on STRAW
berry" Saturday is but a memory in
all parts of the country.

according to letter published in Vor-
waerts of Berlin, a-copy of which has
been received here. A passenger train
was crowded and excited passengers
were struggling to get on when one
discovered compartment in which
sat one man by himself.
A rush was made for the compart-
ment, but the door was not opened.
Force was about to be used when the
conductor opened the compartment.
The lone passenger looked at the in
truders, removed his hat to show his
bald head and stroked his beard. 1t
was Admiral Won Tirpitz. He main
tained a. studied silence even when
some stepped up to him and cried out:
eyes, that's the way the Fatherland
people are. They reserve for them
selves the comfortable compartments
and don't care if the people next door
are crushed to DEATH"
No reply was vouched and no pass
