TERSELY TOLD
MR.. W. E. LESrSNE ENTERTAINS
VISITING FOX HUNTERS
PERSONAL MENTION.
Especial to The Record.)

Greelyville, Jan. 19.-Probably the
most sumptuous feast and elaborate
entertainment of many moons, was
extended to the visiting and local fox
hunters last Wednesday night by Mr..
w. E. Lesesne.
The affair was distinctly stag and
Mr.. Lesesne was a most thoughtful
and gracious host, but the delicate and
savoury crusine of Mrs. Lesesne, for
which she is widely noted, was enjoy
ed by all. We hardly know, without
calling on the host for light on the
subject whether this was to be termed
a barbecue, (for barbecue was serv-
ed in abundance) or a dinner. It was
really both, though either could
have been eliminated and there would
have been enough for all remaining.
The delicious and abundant amount
of food could never have been so near
ly disposed of by the twenty men pre-
sent but for the fact that Mr.. ]. w.
Oliver and B. G. Land insisted on ev-
eryone trying a barbecued rib, which
turned out to be so highly favored
with that cayenne weed that the
crowd had to start eating again to
keep from burning up. However, this
terrific onslaught on the remaining
food was not successful and we still
had to leave the tables laden with food.
After dinner the young and ambi-
tious members of the party were en-
tertained by the deep baying of the
hounds chasing old Brer Fox, caught
at previous chase of the hunters,
and turned loose this blustery night
for the pleasure and entertainment of
the bunch. The older members of the
party fingered around the big oak log
fire, preferring the exchanging Of
yarns and joining in the singing of
"Old Black Joe" and other negro mel
odies, to the more hearty amusement
the cold and windy night afforded the
chasing of Reynard.
The dinner was given in honor of
the visiting huntsmen, Mr.. c. C. Allen
and F. H. Carpenter, of Kenosha, Wis,
and Mr.. W. H. Coffey, of Statesville,
N. c., who have spent large part Of
several hunting seasons in our midst
and whose coming each year is look
ed forward to with much pleasure by
all. Also, the following local friends
and hunters of Mr.. Lesesne were pres
ent: ]. w. Oliver, ]. P. Gamble, S. P.

Local farmers are sowing tobacco

The citizens Of Greelyville highly
commend last weeks editorial in the
Record deploring the suggestion Of
certain tax payers to cut off the Coun-
ty Agent and Extension Service. If
this service has not been up to stand
ard in the past, we should improve
the service but it would certainly be
