Barbecue,
Elaborate preparations are being made to
have a grand and glorious barbecue on next
Saturday week June 2 at Osteen's Mill in tbe
Privateer neighborhood by that portion of
the Privateer Club that intends to withdraw
from the old Club and organize a new one to
be known as the Earle Club. The occasion
will be a big one and our Privateer friends
propose to spread themselves on that day
ana every one who expects to attend, can
just bet his lest dollar that he will have a
most glorious time.
We are informed that the candidates will
be asked and that it is expected that on that
occasion they will not only be seen but
heard. Tbi3 looks like the campaign is open?
ed for true and that the dear people are now
dearer than ever.
Although this barbecue will be given by
only a part of the Privateer Club, all of the
members of the same will be asked and that
they will be present on that festive occasion.
Candidates prepare your speeches and strike
out for Privateer.
To Tea Drinkers, Friends and Cus?
tomers :

Letter from Gav.
GREGG'S X ROADS, May 21, 1888.
We are at last convalescing from our severe
attack and will try again. Appol-we mean
it has rained seasonably and unseasonably
since our last and is still, doing so, as we
write, and if it continues spades will be
tramps again as they were some two moDths
ago. We have had our share of dry weather
also, and oats and the gardens suffered, for
the earth was thirsty. We felt very dry oar
self-about HA. M. Now we'd like to have
it gently dry again for about a couple of
weeks so as tobe able to torn Gen. Green's
right and left flanks and double him np.
Hoes would be tramps to-day were it not for
this rain and because of this rain they will
be still more valuable. The hoe is a neat and
handy tool, but for our own individual ase
we prefer the hoe without a handle. We
were never much of a hoe hand. We tried to
chop out a row of cotton once according to
Mr. David Dickson's plan, "Teach your hands
to hoe so as to make but one stroke in the
same place and every stroke tell." Well,
oar strokes told so well that there was never
any much more use to hoe that row any more.
We had mowed it. When we delivered the
hoe back to oar scholar, she said, "Mas Gav,
ef dat de way you want yo cotton chop, I
can't chop 'em, 'cause I never was teach to
cot out all de stan." We sighed, and offer?
ed her some boons per acre^ if she'd just hoe
on accordio as she was teach. Thus ended
Oar hoe lessons.
A neighbor who had perhaps never plowed
a row in his life was told that the sweep
should be so held a3 just to sift the earth in
??toad around the young plants without cover?
ing them. Well, it looks blamed easy, but
you just try it the first plowiog. *He tried it.
Be went to the field and said, "Ben, that's
not the way I wan't you to piow that cotton ;
let me have hold of your plow." He took
hold and started, and that sweep got on the
hottest trail of a black snake that you ever
saw. The trail would run into the drill and
then into the alley and then it would appear
as thongh that snake had crossed over on
another row. He did his best to cali his
sweep oil that trail and to make it sift that
dirt into the cotton, but deal a bit would it
sift, so he called a halt. Ben bad looked on
for a minute or so ; but when the Capi. cut
his eye back in that direction, Ben was occu?
pying a middle all to himself, apparently in a
fit. The ludicrousness of the situation was
taken in, and all bands joined in the laugh.
We are not much of a plowman either ; in
fact we find that there is but one thing now
that we can do a full share of and that is
resting.
This is a very good season to repair hams
in enr country ; they are now light and
easily handled ; but the most trying empti?
ness tba* we are now experiencing is that cf
the fodder loft.' Corn can be bought, but
"roughness" can hardly be begged, bought
or stolen. If our stock could " only thrive on
the same roughness that the farmer has to
contend with they'd keep fat, very"fat.
We notice that your S5 column is very
slow in filling up, and yet we hear of a very
fair crop of candidates. We thought some of J
coming out ourself but that V is a bluffer. If
we could form some sort of a "corpse trust"
in connection with the Coronorsbip we'd try
for that office. There is no particular sensa?
tion over our way, though a great deal of
bustle, but that's confined entirely to the fair
sex. Guv.

Decoration Day.
The years that have elapsed since the close
of the civil war have served to obliterate all
sectional feeling, and a united and prosp?rons
nation joins in keeping green the graves of
all its beloved dead. It is in this spirit that
the publisher of the New York Family Story
Paper has bad written a thrilling and pa?
thetic romance, peculiarly appropriate to this
national holiday, entitled "Faithful Leonore;
or, His Grave kept Green." In the same
paper will also be found, a weekly instalment
of the "Life and Adventures as a Showman
of P. T. Baronm," written by himself, and
equally interesting to the young folks as well
as heads of families. These are rare literary
treats, and those of our readers who are not
already enjoying them wili do well to obtain
No. 766 of the New York Family SUory Paper
.of their newsdealer or send direct to the pub?
lisher, Mauro's Publishing House, Nos. 24
and 26 Vandewater Street, New York, and
receive the paper four months for one dollar,
postage free.
