About forty persons attended the Third Annual Gorge of (he Barbecue Club in Point township Friday, Col, Bob Crowder was chief executioner, and the way he did tXc barbecuing is enough to make one’s mouth water to hear about it. A 54 pound pig, and a 45 pound sheep, furnished by Mr. John Pfeifer. Jr., the renowned butcher, were cooked, as well as a number of young squirrels and rabbits, and at 12 o'clock the crowd en joyed one of the finest meuls that ever graced a table. After dinner the crowd was enlivened by yarns from the prince of story tellers. Col. Frank Sugg, of Henderson* ltob'*V—ert Crowder, Jr.. recited several very difficult pieces. As the lad is only four years old, his memory is*• «r / krcertainly a wonderful one. Col. Gabilus M or man gave an imitation of the 4-one-armed fiddler” and exhibited his troupe of educated flies, which were very laughable. Great credit for the sue jess of the affair is due to Messrs. Henrv Klotz and D. H. Greathouse, of Point. About dark the crowd departed, inquiring when the nex* barbecue would be held.
