HOUSTON SHERIFF'S SALES- 5 ' """ '***-*~*~--*m*mm Our Fishing Trip. The ninth, tenth and eleventh of nil, 1901. Oh! how well I remem ber those days. School had been going on ever since Xmas, £*nd we pupils had enjoyed only one holi day; so some few patrons of the school had compassion on us and planned a fishing excursion. On the ninth, which was Tuesday, several men of the community went to “Dixon’s Pond,” a distance of three miles from the school house, for the purpose of putting out nets and lines. 'Wednesday, pretty soon- after dinner, several ladies journeyed to the same plaoe, being prepared to fix the camps for the night. A va cant house waB found near the pond, and here they spread the beds. They also carried wdll-filled baskets, and negro women to cook the fish, if wo should happen to the good luck of catohing any. Near 4 o’clock wag ons came for us school children and teachers. The ride there, being most of the way through woods, where the beautiful violets could be seen, was enjoyed immensely by all. But don’t talk! If the ride there was enjoyed, dear reader, you can imagine the rest. Big, little, old and young were like young colts just entering a green pasture. A group could be seen in one place fishing, one in another catching “mellow bugs” or playing in the water, one in another telling jokes, while others were busily engaged in going from camp to pond and back, etc. Just at dusk we all retired to the camp-fire, which was brightly blaz ing near our little hut. In the mean time supper was being prepared by the older members of the company, and the negroes, and we sat arourd the camp-fire eagerly awaiting the summons, which was late, but wel come when it did come. Supper was spread on I long, rude table, and everybody stood around it to eat. What a glorious feast we had. Af ter supper, having five guitars along, music and joke-telling were the chief amusements until about eleven o’clock, when everybody prepared to retire. Beds were placed on the floor of the little house, and just as many as could get in, which was thirty-two, made a desperate at tempt to sleep, but it ended in al- imost a complete failure, for there jwere; several boys outside who had no place to sleep, and being envious of those who did, were determined Will be sold before the court house Joor in the town of Perry, Houston county, Ga., between the legal hours of sale, on the first Tuesday in March, 1902, the following property, to-wit: .

About four o’clock in the morn ing we eirerged from the cabin, as the boys were determined that we should stay in there no longer. Af ter each, in turn, told how little they slept, and the boys laughed at us as much as they wished, break fast was announced. After that we school children, with the teachers, were hurried back to school. As the road to school was difficult for fast traveling, we gathered violets all along the way. But what will a day bring forth? Our fun was over, and no lessons prepared. Fortunately for us, our teachers were along, and could say nothing. All day long you could hear pencils hit the floop, or see one walk by another’s desk and pull his hair to wake him. Then you could see the teacher rub his eyes and raise his head to hear the next les son. (I can’t say whethpr he heard it or not. A Pupil of Hobson Institute.
