At the close of the drive which is now ^ on foot to secure new members Post No. 49 will have a membership of more than 25. which will take in * practically every ex-service man in Latta and the surrounding rural sections. An Informal meeting was held after supper at which some of the objects of the Legion were discussed and a I plea for new members was made. I The Women's Auxiliary was present-1 ed and Mrs. E. C. Major was nomlnat- ; ?u 10 worK with the officers of thej post in helping to organize a chapter here. In a few fitting remarks Commander Fairey spoke of the deplorable accidental death the day before of National Commander Galbralth and the high esteem in which hie was held the nation over by ex-service men, and asked that evety person present bow for 30 seconds out of respect to his memory. The Mill Creek Barbecue. Great battles are named for the places near where they are fought and other important events, such as treaties are named in the same way, so in giving a little sketch of the barbecue of the 9th of June, having no better name, we will call it for the name of the old historic spot of "Mill Creek." This stream with high banks, which empties into Big Pee Dee river, ha s been known in the past as fine fishing grounds for the famous Pike, and has been visited often as far back jas we can remember, and large I strings of these game fish have been enjoyed by our forefathers. Something like fifty years ago in this country barbecues were often enjoyed, and were attended by scores of people. The writer retmembers going to one only, when a small boy, b it it has been so long, he is unable to tell where it was. The one on Thursday at Mill Cr?eek was attended by hundreds of people, there being various estimates ranging from 350 to 750. There certainly must have been more than 500 pefople 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 entertainment would be furnished free consisting of herding and marking a large drove of cattle, a sight not seen in this section before. Also a prise to be given to the one who could stay on the back of a wild steer the longest without bridle or saddle, all of which stunts were pulled off as advertised in the best wild western style, and' very much <enjoyed by all who saw it. And strange to say there were; iiu taouuiuKs auiuuK iue cow uoys, or the wild animals. When the crowd began to gather It looked so immense that the question was often < asked, where will we get dinner, but when they strolled down by the creek, the question could be easily answered, when seeing Immense kettlefe of stewed fish, grains of rice, being cooked, bushels df fish already fried, hun. druds 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," j beside a 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 a splendid flowing well of water, which f WQ a tnlH tV>ot C A t i . ,.?.w 1IIUL 1 uuo ov galIons per minute. A club house and many thousands of acres of lands in this posture, which is ideal for grazing, the cattle being but little expense, except in coldest winter months.

These gentlemen are to be congratulated on the progress that they have made up to this time, as the writer when a small boy well remembers coming near freesing right near this spot where dinner was served on yesterday, holding the mules one every cold lay, for a negro driver to go into a (tore and buy a bottle of whiskey, rhe older ones of us can remember when a regular bar was run at this place and whiskey was openly sold to inyone who wanted it, and now In ess than a generation more than five hundred christian people are folding a picnic, all sober, having a good time, and admiring fine stock, which no doubt will be profitable as veil as pleasant. j 121 ixi rxi m m IZJ mm ro Q I SIX & a GILLETTE t g BLADES | g WITH g g HOLDER g I $1.25 | g PREPAID [< g In Attractive Cue [< B ?

News Items at Internet in and Around UtU. Dr. Mile; Strong Preacher. The people ot Latto who trailed themselves of the opportunity have enjoyed a spiritual (east during the past few days that was calculated to put any and every sane man and woman to thinking: as they perhaps never had thought before. Dr. Mlley a noted evangelist of the Presbyterian church, for ten days preached two sermons dally in the Presbyterian church that were listened to by larae I ana attentive congregations, who will never forget his earnest and eloquent pleading, to sinners to give their lives to God- In my humble opinion Dr. Miley is decidedly the strongest preacher that ever occupied a pulpit in Latta, and eternity alone will reveal the great and lasting good that this noble man of God is accomplishing.
