Reprint of Reminisences of a Big barbecue and Party In White Store Township Before the War, Written by the Late Captain R. B. Uaddy. WvlMlu-u HMtpi ud Ulriiwrarrr. The late Captain R. U. (iaddv, of I'olktou, under the niu ite plume of '"Gamma," iu his life lime contributed occasional nara lives, iiitiHtly of a remiuisoent na lure, to the columns of the M. & I. In the issue of the paper of April l.'tth, 1 MM, there apieared the fol lowing very readable aeconut of a big hai becue and party at White Store before the war: Somewhere alxint 1.H50 the great est barlM-cue of the country wax iriven at White's Store. The two ureal parties were eveuly divided. It was big ami Democrat theu Henry Clay, the broad -minded gi ant, led the Whigs and John C. Calhoun more subtle, a more fin ished aud erudite man, waa the leader of the Democracy. There existed lines of policy, but it accuia to uie now, looking back over the years, that the Democracy favored States' Bight the right to regu late all interual management, in .lulling the right to remain iu the I mon or separate. Henry ( lay wan the Gladstone of America. I It was a patriot took straight, lion eNt views of government and loved liisroiiutry with the devotion of threat heart aud soul. Iiy the force aud iniwer of his wonilerful oratory and the honesty of Lib purpose he sway il Senates as well ,ih people, and compelled compro mise always in place of extreme measures. No one could listen to the great outspoken Kentnikian, see the honesty of his uuscliish views, without wing convinced. On the contrary, John C. Calhoun, convinced by the power of logic .mil subtle nasoiiiug. No orator ike Clay, still insensibly he would w ind the coil of his logic around the hearer till beautiful springtime would come, the birds would sing in the trees, soft music would lull your senses away, .and from your very helplessness before this man of mighty logic you would ex claim, "That's so." One was the lion-hearted king of Kugland striking oil' the iron mace by the force of an honest English blow with a sword that no man could wield but himself. The other was the wisely Saracen Salad in divid ing a cushion of down with the finely tempered scimitar of the east. Whoever was at the helm, one of these men was controlling. If Henry Clay and Henry ( lay s party had lived the late war would have been impossible. Cliffy would still lie working in the fields of his master, because that parly stood ;is a wall between north and south, while the policy oi Calhoun, "to yield nothing, tight for our rights, don't compromise, on our side is eternal justice," becoming ascend ant, precipitated the greatest strug gle of modern history, the old higs, led by Clay, ware giants in those days. William A. Graham, George E. Badger, the Battles, the Ashes, were all Y bigs. hue iu mr county the Steeles, the Leaks, I ho Little, the Gulledges, Bed fearns, Huutleys, Crowders, Ben netts and a great host of good men, were Whigs, Elections in those days were as bitter as now. One party abused the other with the moat terrible ause. our xen vance waa a nig, lighting straightout with direct "WED W LIFE" That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time a e w t ago. As a rule we aont use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above rems cr.u similar express? jns a.e made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means or remedying im proper and weak develop ment, rcotoring lot flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish mentthe kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food.

White Store was a great 1 Whig towndiip, and the prepare tion for a great Whig barbecue was on a grand scale. I was ouly 1 Uiy, and it seemed to me the ta 1 tiles were a quarter of a mile long. Krevea, mutton, porkers aud the Lord kuows what else, up toward the bead where the big guns were placed. Burwell Home was the cook and with apron on aud mop in hand he did the work well Of victuals there was no scarcity, even a small boy bail plenty S' ranee that in a long life this in the ouly barbecue 1 ever tasted. My mouth smacks even now. Kven when Bnrwell Home was tramping through the country, I mtpected him for that old W big barbecue. There were thousands present, and after the feast the old-fashioned W hig speaking took place. Of the speakers I remember but one, John W. Cameron. He was a funny mau aud caught my boyish fancy with his fuud of humor aud anec dote. In many respecta he waa s great man. He said that the re cord of the Democracy was the "niggers" blanket full of pig tracks. This little simile has Iin gered with me though all else has laded, except his appearance. I expect there were other men of note present, but I don't remember them. It was a great thing, or would be uow, for a little election district, not a township as now, to give a great bartiecue and make it tree to all comers. A ltlti PARTY AT W HITE'S KTOKE. Do you remember it, comrades t The young uieu of White's Store regain with their hosts. This was iu the palmy days, llien it was only a ripple on the surface. Tempy I J lew was the great artist who gave the finishing touch to the female toilets of that day. She must have made miubi of uioucy. Dou't look back aud suppNe our young ladies of that day didn't dress. Ou the contrary they were able aud well educated, aud from the days of mother Eve to the present, they have known that silk was dressy. I venture that few assemblies ever met iu this county w here the dis play of wealth was more profum thau at the Masonic hall at White' Store about l.s.C. lhe couut) wits then in its greatest erea ol prosperity, culture and rvfluemetit. The surrounding country was noted for the beauty of iu women, to ob tain a smile from whom was a boon. Stop ; stand aud look as they come rolling np to Phillip (lathings' hotel, l'bere cornea a turnout two large match horses, fat and well groomed, silver-moun ted harness glistening in the sun beams, a coachman in front, dressed in Btyle, prouder of his horses and his young mistress than any king ever was of bis crown. Poor coach man I Your brightest days have tied. Then, on the back seat was a maid, as proud as she could be, not of herself, but of youug mis tress. Ah I queen of the carriage, how bright and sunny is your ex istence. Turnout after turnout of different styles and make, but with the same essential features rolled np to Gainings' hotel that after noon. I can see now the wonderful display the fair, freah young faces the queens of that day and time. It don't matter how woru I may look now, but I've beeu there and bowed to these queens from their carnages. traukCrow der was there without one spot of dirt or blemish on bis faultless and fashionable attire graceful, easy quiet. Who wasn't there that wanted to win a heart! Gaiety, laughter, flowers, beauty ! Court ly men! Lovely women! Such a gathering now would be impossi blc. Biting care, the destruction and loss of millions of property, have changed the whole scene. It is not our fault. Young men and young women of the present day, remember that we did all in our power to avert the blow. When vou remember the past know in your hearts that we sutlcreu more than we can tell you, but suffered in vain. I only write of the past that you may remember that, how ever dark the present, the sun has shown, the landscape has bloomed and we have had a day of glory and splendor. I noticed that night, whilo the uisic was playing, the girl I won from Bossy, in the toot-race, was keeping company with another "feller." She was a beautiful young lady then. I bad twelve school-boy years liefore me. How pretty she looked, aim oh how she smiled on the other fel low. He was on the heights while I was low down among the chunks; or at least my feelings led me to exclaim, "Alas I how I am tor mented." W bat was the use! She had outgrown me. She smiled upon me as I flitted around, but I saw the foot race at Busnn's was forgotten and neither Dossy or myself would be able to gather that dower; but the iron entered my heart nevertheless. How hard it Is to give up the old school boy loves.

Further evidence that has since couie to our ut tent ion has only strengthened our conviction and redoubled our detenu ination to light this stupendous swindle of the farmers. It would 1m a great deal more profitable for us not to do it. Our silence here would indeed be gold en. Other I'm 1.1 papers find it so and they keep silent. The Pro gressive Farmer will not; it will y aloud and spare not. e know that we lose fl.000 to 2,IK0 a year in advertifing by this policy and we know that with a paper which costs $20,000 a year to run, it would not be hard to 11 ml a place for theextrathousand or two the stock food ads would bring us. 0 need the money. And yet we are going to tell the straight truth as we see it, and leave it to the fat mers as to the sort of support they will give a paicr that is here to light for their interests, and will go out of business a long time be hove it sells into a partnership with any fraud bcut ou deceiving and swindling the soil-tillers of the country.

Straightway to the Department of Agriculture theu we sent a sample lor analysis, but the reply came : "Same old story wheat bran and a little pepcr, salt, charcoal and sulphur to season it. Stuff worth $20 or $25 a ton sold to farmers at $200 to $500 a tou." So we couldn't take the ad nor are we going to take any sim ilar ads. In the Progressive Farmer last February our Dr. Butler gave such convincing facts and figures about feeding testa w ith one of the most popular stock foods that we had visions of a libel suit for the Progressive Farmer, but it never came. His position was impreg nable, and the International Com pany didn t dare challenge a sin gle assertion he made.
