WINKLER BARBECUE AND PICNIC
' .■ ——
It wai a Big Saccei* and wa» Under
the Aatpicei of the Farmers Union
Last Friday evening at 5:30
o’clock, in company with Lee
Nelson, Resident of the Teague
. Traded douncil, we left Teague
in response to an invitation from
the Winkler local of the Farmers
Uhion to attend a barbecue and
picnic to be given at that place
Saturday. About 12 o’clock that
night we found ourselves at the
home of Lee Lamb, in the Street-
man neighborhood, and there we
spent the remaining part of the
night. Next morning Mrs.
Lamb gave us a good breakfast,
consisting of fried chicken, hot
buscuits, butter etc., and here it
s was that Lee Nelson established
a record as a chicken and bis-
cuit dispenser. For the first half
dozen biscuits Lee would say
“pass ’em please,” but after he
passed that number he merely
winked his right eye or gave a
distress sign. My! How we did
enjoy that breakfast. Nelson
hasn’t quit talking about it yet.
•Mr. and Mrs. Lamb have a nice
.. country home and we enjoyed so
much there generous hospitality.
At 1 o’clock we renewed our
journey toward Winkler and at
10 o'clock we safely arrived at
the barbecue grounds in a beau-
tiful oak grove just east, of the
little viHage. By 11 o’clock the
entire community, together with
' a large number of visitors, had
gathered for the day’s pleasures
and recreation.
. The barbecue and picnic was
gotten up by the Farmers Union
of Winkler, the entire neighbor-
hood joining in with them, and
without an exception, the event
was a big success, men, women
and children enjoying the day
to their hearts content. „
At 11 o.clock George Allen in-
troduced Lee Nelson who spoke
along the lines of unionism from
the standpoint of a wage earner.
Mr. 'Nelson is a thorough Union
man and told of the great ad-
vantages gained by the wage
earners through their labor
organizations and that in his
judgement the farmers could
largely benefit themselves by a
thorough organization. . When
Mr. Nelson finished his speech
Attorney Dexter Hamilton of
Corsicana was introduced and
delivered a short address' that
was very pleasing and interest-
ing. After Mr. Hamilton came
dinner.
A large amount of barbecued
meats, skillfully prepared by
men who thoroughly understood
the art of barbecuing meats,
quanitiea of fried chicken, great
stacks of cakes and pies and va-
rious other good edibles, were
spread in the shades of the oaks
and when the large crowd had
thoroughly satisfied their appe-
tites there was plenty of the
good things left to have fed as
many more, and you know this
is always the case among our
farming communities. On occa-
sions like this the good mothers
and daughters vie with each oth-
er in Cooking up the very best
the land affords, and in such
quanities as will be sure to hold
out.
In the/ afternoon the writer
was introduced and spent one
hour in discussing the necessity
for thorough organization among
the faming classes. At the
close of this speech a ball game
between Eureka and Streetman
was “pulled off,” but having
left the ground before the finish
we are not informed as to * the
results of the game.
It is a great pleasure to go
among such good people as make
up the community of Winkler
and one always feels better fitted
for the duties of life by having
mingled among thefn and enjoy-
ed their hospitality. Our visit
among these folks will long be
remembered as one of the most
pleasant incidents of our life's
journey.
Like most communities in this
part of the State, the crops are
cut very short on account of the
dry weather. Along our drive

H. H. Peevy Has Honor of Bringing
First 1909 Cotton to Tesguc.
Tuesday morning H. H. Peevy
brought to Teague the the first
new bale of cotton for this sea-
son. The bale weighed even
500 pounds and was sold to King
Bros, for $12.60 per hundred
pounds, amounting to $63. Ad-
ded to this the town made up a
premium of $50.50, making the
bale of cotton net Mr. Peevy
$113.50 or 22.61 cents per pound.
Nearly all of our neighboring
towns have received their “first
bale” this week and Teague
leads them all in paying the best
price for the cotton as well as
the premium. This means that
Teague cotton buyers are going
to make this the leading market
in this section of the State. They
have started in the lead and
of*35 miles we found the cotton
prospects very discouraging.
Neither did we see any extra
good corn. In fact many will
fail to make sufficient feed.
they mean to hold it. Keep
your eyes oS Teague if you wayt
the best market price for your
cotton.
This bale comes in one week
earlier than the first bale last
year and nearly two weeks ear-
lier than year before last.
. The first bale of the 1907 crop
was brought jn by Joe Newell
and was sold to Riley & Ham for
14& cents per pound and the first
bale last year wa^ brought in by
Peter Burrell, (col.) and was
sold to Riley & Ham for 10J
pdr pound.
To Jail Without Bail.
The negro, Cleveland Johnson,
who killed the negro, Ceasar
Barrow, a£ Wortham two weeks
ago, was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice W. AUe-
gre at Wortham la&t Saturday
and remanded to jail withdtit
bail.

Your friends,
A Large Audience Witnessed the En-
tertainment Friday Night.
A large and appreciative audi-
ence filled the Opera House last
Friday night to enjoy the enter-
tainment given by Miss Helen
Saunders for the benefit of the
Methodist Church.
It consisted of a pretty little
play entitled, “Six Cups of Choc-
olate,” presented by six of the
prettiest girls in Teague, beauti
fully attired in evening costumes
with hats and gloves to match.
Each carried out her part so-well
that a spirit of justness forbids
any discrimination. We must
evince our surprise, though, at
the lightthrown upon our friend
Gilbert Stevens. We did not
recognize him in the guise of a
“hqart smasher” with the scalps
of his many Victems dangling
from his belt.
The stage was elaborately dec-
orated with palms, ffrns, college
colors, and mottoes, thus lending
a picturesque background to the
scene, not only this, but the
daintest refreshments were
served and we did no* get a taste.
The Fanie, “Frank Glynn’s
Wife,” evoked much merriment
and friendly criticism. Mrs.
Cox, as Alice, has a sweet voice
and charming manners and add-
ed to this a perfect memory,
played in a spirit born for the
stage; Misses Beulah and Gay
Jackson, as sister and cousin to
Frank, were fine; the one repre-
senting the frank, talkative and
good natured sister and the other
the pretty and attractive cousin,
both maneuvering to win the af-
fections of Ed Asberry, could not
have been surpassed. Mrs. Den-
nison, the mother, was an ideal,
stiff, dignified and prudish moth-
er, while her sarcastic express-
ions and exclamations of disgust
evoked much laughter. Mrs.
Dennison is a fine commedian.
Miss Eva Stilwell, the Irish maid,
could not have been surpassed
by one from the “ould country”
and kept her master in perpetual
torment with her blunders. Her
“makeup” was especially fine,
and she kept the audience in a
roar of laughter from start to
finish. Ed Satterwhite, as Ed
Asbery made a handsome college
chum, who seemed to be quite
mixed up on Frank’s wives, his
facial expressions being particu-
larly good, if he did get dazed
with the starry eyes of the Alices,
but how could he help it? Mr.
Gassman, as usual, was perfect.
His acting is always pleasingand
we owe many pounds of flesh to
him already for the laughter he
has evoked in the past.
The music was of the very
best. The Overture, “Poet and
Peasant,” \yas grand and the
two little girls, Bertha Thomp-
son and Ruth Rodgers, who play-
ed and afterwards rendered two
difficult solos won for themselves
laurals and we predict a brilliant
future for their splendid musical
talent. “Angels Serenade” w*s
one of the finest numbers on the
musical program and will not
soon be forgotten. Miss Nina
Smith who is a graduate of the
violin, handles her instrument in
a most masterly manner, giving
such expression that was conta-
geous throughout the audience.
The proceeds, amounting to
$50, are to be appropriated to
the “Pipe Organ” fund of the
Methodist church. Now . don’t
that sound big? We are some
Teague, we are. A vote of
thanks is extended to Miss Saun-
ders for her public spirit. This
is the. third entertainment she
has given in the interest of
Teague in less than a year.

Beware!
Everybody knows that a com-
petant physician does not have
to travel from town to town, but
will locate permanent, build up
a practice and the patients will
come to him.—See Drs. Cox &
Roberts if you have Catarrh or
any chronic disease.
