am told that these gentlemen
hope to make this occasion an an
nual event, on q larger scale. as the
cattle business increases. These gen.

the progress that they have made up
to this time. as the writer when q

The Mill Creek Barbecue.

Great battles are named for the
places near where they are fought and
other important events, such as treat
les are named in the same way, so
In giving little sketch of the barbe-
cue Of the 9th of June. having no
better name. we will cali it for the
name Of the old historic spot of Mill
Creek" This stream with high banks,
which empties into Big Pee Dee river,
hl been known in the past as fine
fishing grounds for the famous Pike,
and has been visited often as far back
as We can remember, and large
strings of these game fish have been
enjoyed by our forefathers.
Something like fifty years ago in
this country barbecues were often en-
joyed. and were attended by scores Of
people. The writer remembers going
to one only, when a small boy, blt
it has been so long, he is unable to
tell where 1t was. The one on Thurs
day at Mill Greek was attended by
hundreds OF people, there being va
rious estimates ranging from $50 to
750. There certainly must have been
more than 500 people who attended
this Titanic" affair. To begin with
the invitations were to everybody,
and urged to come. and that dinner
would be free, and that entertain
ntent would be furnished free consist
ing Of herding and marking a large
drove Of cattle, a sight not seen in
this section before Also a prize
to be given to the one who could stay
on the back of wild steer the long
est without bride or saddle, all of
which stunts were pulled off as adver-
tised in the best wild western style,
and very much enjoyed by all who
saw it. And strange to say there were
no casualties among the cow boys, or
the wild animals. When the crowd
began to gather it looked so i'm
mense that the question was often
asked, where will We get dinner, but
when they strolled down by the creek,
the question could be easily answer
ed, when seeing immense kettles Of
stewed fish, grains of rice, being cook
ed, bushels Of fish already fried, hun
dreds OF loaves of bread, numbers of
barbecued animals, scores of gallons
OF iced tea, and a row Of coffee pots
steaming with that farmers pet"
beside picnic dinner, consisting of
hams. deviled eggs etc. and cakes of
every variety. and in due course of
time all appetites were thoroughly
satisfied, even down to the colored
men who helped among the cattle.
This is an ideal spot for just such
an occasion, there being plenty of
shade for a much larger crowd, and
splendid flowing well of water,
which 1 was told, that runs 60 gal
Ions per minute. A club house and
many thousands Of acres OF lands in
this pasture, which is ideal for graz
