The scene of greatest interest W88 the barbecue given by Corley & Carter, at the old "Nellie Springs." Early in the morning crowds after crowds wended their way slowly to this place of interest, and when dinner was announced it was with much difficulty that the throng of people were fed, notwithstanding the fact that twenty-nine carcasses of the finest and most palatable kind were in readiness to alleviate the insatiable hunger of the weary who had plodded their way through the scorching noonday sun to enjoy this festive occasion. The day was delightfully spent by all, the chief amusements being dancing and a hot game of | baseball between two rival teams here, .Brookland and Maybe boys. Although the day was extremely warm, the game was witnessed by a large crowd and was very exciting from beginning to end, the score, however, being 8 to 3 in favor of Brookland. Messrs. Corley & Carter, are too wide awake to do anything by halves or leave anything undone; they ar* to be congratulated upon the success of bo large an undertaking, and for the skilled manner in which tnie body of people were handled (estimated at 1000). The day being a typical and ideal Fourth of July, the crowd was naturally jolly, hungry and thirsty, but the platform, dinner and lemonade and ice cream booths were in evidence and were liberally and frequently visited. The I. O. 0 F. gave a barbecue in Aretas Park Saturday, July 4th. The cue was prepared by George W. Lybrand and furnished by J. M. Gunter. "While the crowd was small, lessened on account of the other cues near by, yet the order realized a neat little profit. The military boys carry the day here.

Your writer saw a curiosity on the egg order a few days ago. The egg was about the size of a turkey egg and contained the white and yellow as any other egg would have, but within this egg was another perfect egg with a hard shell. The hen is owned by Mr. Henry Crout/ one of our townsmen, and he has refused a flattering offer for her because he says that a hen that lays two eggs at once is worth having in the yard. A very quiet marriage took place at the home of Mr. Lemuel Berry, this afternoon, where his beautiful and accomplished daughter, Miss Hattie, was married to Mr. S. L>. Shealy of this place.

Our people are carried away with it and it would be a shame now to deprive us of this, cur greatest convenience. Speaking of Free Delivery makes me want to say something about the carriers. They are treated so nice by the patrons on the routes. They get everything from pudding and sausage in the winter to melons, peaches, apples, cherries, plums, grapes, figs, cabbage, etc., in the summer, with a little cursing to boot. Mrs. N. H. Hite presented the carrier on route 1 with a 111 pound cabbage to day. Many others have given smaller one3. ATr R "PI "Millar anrl .T (rnntar are each content with his lot.
