Mr. G. K. Moore gave a barbecue dinner on Friday, July 4th., to about sixty of his friends. Barbe cue, fried chicken, brunswick stew, pickles, cake etc., was served in abundance all present doing full jus tice to what was put before them, That veteran cook, Isaac Powell, had charge of the cooking of the barbe cue and that is assurance that it was prepared according to the king's taste. After dinner those present gathered in the grove and spent an hour in social chatting and passing jokes and in trying to make one be- ieve the other had made away with more of the "cue" than the one right by his side. But we are not going to tell just how the vote really did stand on the question of who did eat the most. It is sufficient to say that all all former reputations were sustained.
