For some time the people of this community have been looking forward with pleasure to the barbecue at J. J. Kinard's. As the day drew near it was evident that the weather would be clear and the anticipations of all were bright ened. On Friday morning the crowd began to gather pretty early and it wasn't long before a very large num ber of people had assembled. Good delegations were present front New berry and Prosperity. As we mingled in the crowd and shook the hands of J. M. Kinard, J. C. . Perry, Robt. T. Caldwell, Cole L. Blease, Arthur Kib t ler, J. A. Sligh, A. H. Wheeler and others, we were reminded of old times.

Speeches were made by Cole L. Blease, Arthur Kibler and Rev. J. A. Sligh. The first two spoke to the point on the common and graded school systems and the latter gave an exeellent address on agriculture. The day was charming and the dinner su perb, and everybody, especially the young folks, enjoyed the occasion most heartily. We expect to have a big time at the Farmers' Institute to-morrow and the next day, if the farmers from other sections turn out as they will from this, Young's woods will not hold them. if such men as Butler, Mills, Crayton, Duncan, Holloway and Liv ingston don't draw a crowd then the farmers need never hold another insti tute.. I had long contemplated a visit tc the Saluda Academy section, and in 1 company with,three friends attended a picnic at that place last Saturday.

Twistification and other plays were 1 participated in by.nearly all the young people, while the old folks enjoyed themselves in groups talking over thi favorable crop prospects and othei matters of interest.
