Missess Mollie Stevens and Bertie Cato of Jefferson county are visiting the family of Mr. G. W. Garett in our town. Speaking will begin at 9 o'clock.

It still remains on the first Sunday and Saturday before. The table, stand and seats for the barbecue and speaking are to be arranged today. There is a committee appointed to superientend this work, but we trust everyone will feel it his duty to aid the committee whenever necessary. Those who intend furnishing meats for the arbecue are requested to send it to the barbecue committee at this place early tomorrow (Friday) morning. If you haven't subscribed anything, don't let that prevent you from giving; it will be thankfully received just the same. Homestead Notice Owen W. Burkett, wit: M. D. Wylie, John Brill, E. H.
