Men Rewarded For Work Done at Brown Cemetery.
Twenty-five men gathered at the Brown cemetery Thursday to remove the- old board fence and replace it with a beautiful woven wire fence, purchased of the Cyclone Fence Co., of Waukegan, 111., paid for by the Ladies’ Aid of Barkley Christian church. At the noon hour nine women came in with well filled baskets and spread J sumptuous dinner in the shade of the old apple tree, of fried chicken, pumpkin pie and all tire other good things it takes to make a good picnic dinner. It is useless to say the men did ample justice to the dinner with (as they eallcd it) Adams Ale to drink, made in mother’s coffee boiler.—One Who Was Present.
