The date of the annual reunion of the old

those who live twenty miles from here to make
the drive, but the pleasure that attends thcc
meetings in recalling happy memories of those
well known nnil often met in days gone by, is
ever sufficient to rally tue sturdiest to these
events.
Thursday was a ted hot September day, right
in line with the weather of the past week, but
amidst the sweltering heat at Sappington's
Grove, everything moved as smoothly as if cli
matic conditions had worked in unison with
the committee for the success of the day. Din
ner, was furnished by the ladies of Marshall, to
which a super-abundance was added by lhoe
who came with well filled baskets; and the way
it wis enjoyed, proved that even the old in Sa.
linedo not become dyspeptics, but enjoy life to
the fullest.
The exercises of the afternoon were opened
by an invocation from Rev. Iloltou.
Mayor Miller delivered nn address of wel
come which was whole-souled upon his part
and well received by the audience, to which
senator Vandivcr ol Lafayette county, now n
candidate for railroad commissioner, responded
in a happy vein of thought. A memorial by
Jerold Letcher to Major Lankford was read by
Mr. Alf Rector; there were also memorials to
Royal Drown, Juo, T. Davis, and Itcv. P. O,
Rea, which formed a part of the program.
After the speaking was over,the band played
and the crowd gradually disbanded, as even
ing progressed. It is one of the happiest sen
sations of aged life to meet old friends; and days
such lis this arc stamped upon many a memory
with a prominence that leaves no doubt as to
the enjoyment of the occasion.
