The Indian Mt. school

asserted that he felt ashamed
that all of these Austin lawyer*
et a stranger comd in and sue
ceed in suoh an assemblage to-
gether for suoh' a delightful
event. Be. said: “We owe . a
tribute to Tennessee which can
never be repaid in sending Mc-
Gregor to Austin, via Missouri,
and teach us what we ought to
have done many years ago, ever
since the days of Sam Houston.
Many toasts were given and
responded to, and the fun
thermometer ran high.
From inside information
learn that in addition to the vast
.quantities of food, there were
consumed twelve gallons of coffee
of the McGregor blend, forty
gallons of buttermilk of the Mc-
Gregor brand, and 1500 bottles
of “Southern Select," of the
Houston celebrated beer, brfewed
especially for this occasion, and
one gallon of water’.
Since the barbecue, consider
able discussion has been in-
dulged in by the public as to
how such s quantity of water
could be disposed of by a crowd
of that character, and the only
reasonable explanation seems to
be that the judge has Started

gave each guest a bath.—Calam
