Wheat is coming in very slow, so the
buyers say. The price is seventy cents

wheat seems to fluctuate considerably

Our Reporters Hurd Luck on a Hunting
Expedition.
Feeling the need of the cooling breezes
and bracing air of the mountains, and a
few days of rest and recreation, your re
porter gladly accepted the, opportunity
of joining a small party for a weeks jaunt
to the Pine Log mountains, on a hunting
and fishing frolic. For several days be
fore the time set apart for starting had
arrived, my fertile imagination graph
ically pictured deer drives, leaping bucks,
strings of mountain trout, and my ears
could almost hear the music of the hounds
as they chased the wild cat and the coon.
Impatiently did I await the time to go.
All preliminary arrangements having
been completed, on Monday afternoon,
20th inst, at 2 o'clock, with the ardor of
the inexperienced amateur hunter, pre
ceded by a portion of the party, and to
be followed by others, 1 started upon my
first camp hunt. Heated beside a rural
companion, on a one horse wagon, drawn
by a3% to the hour mule, bright and
bouyant, we moved slowly up the Tennes
see road. But as we dragged along at a
snail’s pace, the mercury standing at 110
on our backs, and, as I noticed the per
spiration as it beaded upon the brow of
my rural companion and listened to his
fatigued grunts, as he plied the lash to
Kit (for that was the name of the kind
inoffensive animal, that was so safely
and carefully moving us farther and
farther away from the noise and bustle
of our unusually prosperous and enter
prising young city (?) my enthusiam
cooled very perceptibly, but I consoled
myself with the old adage, that “a bad
beginning makes a good ending.”
At six o'clock we were in two miles of
the camp; but just here my rural com
panion made the unpleasant announce
ment that he could carry me no further,
saying that his home was still six miles
in another direction, and that it would
take him until after dark to reach there.
No persuasion nor hope of reward would
induce him to carry me any farther. I
stated to him that 1 might as well be at
home, as to be there in the middle of the
road with a cart load of luggage, but
to no effect. It was there 1 realized how
it was to be “so near and yet so far.”
So l was dumped out on the road side,
to await the coming of another detached
of our party, who would, perhaps
be able to transport me and my luggage
the remaining two miles. After sitting
on the roadside with my striped eot
propped against the fence and other
articles scattered upon the.ground, the
wonderment of all passers by, for an
hour or more, the relief party came. In
a manner I was safely landed in camps,
feeling very much like the boy the calf
run over.
Our camps were located at a point
aboht sixteen miles distance from town.
They composed a two room log cottage,
situated just at the foot of Hanging
mountain, a spur of the Pine Logs. A
wilder or more weird looking place 1
have yet to see, and, a spot nearer to
nowhere, it has not been my misfortune
to visit. While the surrounding scenery
could not be called , beautiful or grand,
still it was not altogether unsightly.
The rugged cliffs, low thick undergrowth,
and deathly stillness of things around,
made one feel that they were right in the
rendezvous and haunts of snakes and
other reptiles. Such scenes as this were
calculated to make the timid feel a little
nervous. But the limpid, sparkling
waters of a beautiful brook, as they went
bouncing and happily murmuring along,
and a merrv song of some sweet noted
bird, as it ' rang out on the morning
breezes, had a tendency to sooth the
roughness of things, and dispell the
loneliness of the sojourner.
The party composing the camp, was a
faithful and energetic disciple of Black
stone, whose mind had become wearied
with studying and applying tlx* dry and
didactic principles of the law; a knight of
the yard-stick; a portly well rounded
Main street grocer, whose forehead joins
the crown of his cranium without cross
ing even so much as a single hair, and
who never sells an article that is not “the
best that you ever Hopped your lip over;”
and your humble reporter. This dis
tinguished quartette was augmented by
a jovial robust young farmer, from the
neighboring country, with his dogs, who
was ready to start at any hour of the
night for a race, and a veteran hunter,
who will at once be recognized ov every
sporting man in the country. He is of
small but erect figure, swarthy complex
ion, vrinkled face, deep blue eyes, em
phatic manner of speaking. If these
features do not suggest his name, then,
those who have heard him recount his
thrilling experience in "Califoray” in
“49,”0r how h** “lit" bea** in tlx* swamps
of “Fluridy,” can not mistake him. A
crowd more determined to have a good
tame, or suffer in the effort, never ren
te red out.
The cominiss.tr}’ of tlx* camp was abun
dantly supplied, but the cuisine was not
of such a character as to impart strength
to a delicate stomach. This, however,
was in a measure overcome. Indeed it
was a ease of necessity, for I was growing
thin and pale. My epieurian taste must
be catered to. The deciple of Blaekstone
came to tlx* rescue, and it will be no dis
credit to him to say, that lx*can discount
Dehnonieo’s lieml cook. Your reporter
occasionally coming to the front, with a
most delicious blackberry pie. It is due
the cook to say that our fare continued
to improve until camps were broken.
As to the hunt, well.it was a hunt,
w th many ups and downs, and precious
liltle game. One ‘coon,” a couple of
squirrels, three rabbits, and an opossum,
were the only legitimate fruits we could
claim. That we were not more successful
weis not our fault, nor that of the faith
ful dogs, for with an indomitable energy
we scoured the valleys and climbed the
mountains. The truth of thg matter is,
ti e game was not there. The most char
ri table presumption is, that it was off on
a frolic for the season.
Though the hunt was of a rough and
ti table nature, and a little trying upon
the unpractieed limbs of your reporter,
it was not without its pleasures and
amusing features. The monotony of
affairs was often broken by visits from
ti e clever people of that section, who
found tlx* way to our lonely retreat. At
ojx* ti.ne a dozen or more came, bringing
a fiddle, which furnisned the music for a
high-stepping stag dance. In this, our
genial grocer was the central attraction
aid belle of the evening. He was cos
tumed in short sleeves and low neck and
very light pantaloons, with elastic stripes
down tlx* sides.. His step was graceful,
and his movementsgenerally weresuperb.
The next day, we barbecued a coon and
a t innocent sheep, and invited a number
of our neighbors to come and partake
with us of tlx* “fat of the land.'' In the
a ternooii we enjoyed another dance.
This lime, tin* masculinity of the quad
rille was embellished by the presence and
refining influences of two willowy and
blithesome country lassies. Again our
portly grooer won new laurels —he
made a mash . This, with other achieve
ments, and the shooting of a coon which
had burn driven to the top of a tree by
fire and smoke, made him the hero of the
occasion.
I was about to neglect the notice due
the gay and festive chigger. He is with
you on all such trips; and is not a
stranger to the average inhabitant of
this sublunary sphere. He is constant
and irrepressible. To us, his companion
ship was very annoying, as it usually is.
Sometimes, as the quiet, but relentless
warfare was being waged upon him, the
peace of the camp would suddenly be dis
turbed by the painful cry, “Grease!
grease!” or in another quarter, “ Water!
water!” Indeed, I might safely say that
he occupied more of our time than any
other living thing that visited ourcamp.
In fact, so well did they like our company
that a number came home with us.
Such a varied experience did your repor
ter have, that his sympathies went out to
everything. Even a poor earthen vessel,
with a neck to it, came in for its share.
He watched it as it grew lighter and
lighter, until it could no longer bear the
weight of a stopper, and not a man in
the canq) had the temerity to molest it,
us it sat ia the corner stopperloss, friend
less and harmless. It was but a wreck
of its former *elf. it furnished a sad
spectacle, and served as an example to
show the vanity of popularity. How
true our friends are so long as they can
sap our substance; when that is gone,
they are gone. There was this old earthen
vessel, once the stay and “spiritual" com
fort of the camp! Nearly every visitor
would even lay fr.endly hands upon it, or
touch it with almost reverential lips!
But now it stands deserted —not a man
with the heart to disturb its quietude!
liven our veteran hunter grew grave and
solemn over its downfall; unwilling to
remain longer around an exhausted
friend, he was last seen climbing the
mountain, leading his faithful dog
“Drive.” Thus, one after another left,
until the camp-hunt was a thing of the
past. Reporter.

The exhibition of Kingston High
School, that came off last Thursday
night was a grand success, great credit
is due Prof, and Mrs. Tuggle, for the
organization and complete instruction
given. All from the youngest to the
oldest acquitted themselves with honor
to themselves and the teachers. I could
not name one particular as every one
was the best. The music was good con
ducted by Prof. Etheridge, of Stilesboro, 1
everybody was delighted, the night was
rather cool aud the large audience had
to sit in the open air and they remained
until the close at 12 o'clock. We tender j
our congratulations to teachers and
pupils for the very interesting entertain
ment. The fall session will ojieu about
the Ist of August.
On the 24th your eoorrespondent, by

Lodge under the charge ofJ.W. Gray,

grove near the Gum Spring, arriving at
the grove several hundred citizens had
assembled. After prayer by Rev. Mr:
King, the W. M. Thomas Johnson, in a
few appropriate remarks, introduced
Mr. J. A. Gray, of Atlanta, who favored
us with a very interesting address, after
which the fraternity and all citizens were
united to assemble at the table for re
freshments. The table was loaded with
an abundance of all things tempting to
the appetite, the table was presided over
by the wives, daughters, mothers, and
perhaps sweet hearts of the masons. It
was a pleasant day and everybody
seemed to be glad that they were there,
it was a happy reunion of brethren,
neighbors and friends. I was proud to
meet so many old friends.

PINE LOG.
The music of the thresher is being
heard in our midst.
Wheat is turning out well.
The general crop prospect is good, bet
ter perhaps than for several years. Far
mers are feeling good over the indications
for better times. If there is a class of
men who need the benefit of better times
it is the farmers, the men who raise our
corn and fatten our meat etc., and who
are compelled to take what they can
get for their hard-earned surplus regard
less of what it cost to produce it.
The sjiecial legislation for Bartow
county, as jirejiared by Dr. Felton, is in
many respects good, but we think he
made a great mistake in the reduction of
juror’s fees. Our courts are expensive ’tis
true, but our farmers can better afford
to jiav this extra tax than to lose the
time and get no pay. Our courts come
in the very busiest seasons of the year,
when farmers can least afford to lose the
time. There is a way to diminish the ex
jienses of our courts, but doctor made a
very wide mistake this time. Let the
jieople sjieak out on this question in time.
They know what is pending and if they
remain neutral till the bill becomes a
law then they may largely fault themselves
for the error.
GRASSDALE.
Miss Effie Montgomery after a stay of
several weeks in Rome, has returned
home, and now a certain young - man
wears a happy smile all the time.
Frank Weems, the popular representa
tive of Bowie, George & Cos., of Rome, is
up among the Grassdale people for a
holiday. Frank, although he has lived
from among us for several years, still
loves to come back and be with his old
neighbors. We love to have the young
jieojile who were raised among us to
come back, even for a short visit. There
is no community who is gladder to have
young jieojile, or that will give them a
heartier welcome. May the day never
come when there will be fewer among us.
The big occasion among us has been
the visit of Murray and his bride. They
came up from Marietta Saturday eve
ning, sjient Saturday night and Sunday
at his home. Everybody was anxious to
see the Daisy that Murray had been so
fortunate to cull, for they felt as if she
was a Grassdaleite. The unanimous ver
dict was that she was real pretty and
sweet, and that Murray was indeed truly
to lie congratulated upon his selection.
We indeed felt for Murray (for we had
been in the same fix once) when his
many friends after preaching at Cassville
crowded around him for an idtroduction
to his bride; he could not say wife and
several times did not tell his Daisy who
it was he was introducing to her. She
ought to feel-proud, for from the dem
onstration she could not help but see
that Murray had a lot of friends.
Mrs. Montgomery, we are sorry to
learn, is confined to her bed by sickness.
Miss Alleen Best came home with the
family of Mr. Montgomery from preach
ing on Sunday.
Bob Renfroe tries to put on a smile,
but you can see it is not genuine, since a

This is my second answer to Water
Lily’s famous mathematical problem.
It is useless to repeat the question, as
nearly all of your readers are familiar
with it. Supposing the number to be 15,
the old man’s jiart is half and half an
apple over without cutting an ajijile,

The importance of purifying the blood can
cot be overestimated, for without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and we ask you to try Hood's
PpP I j| jo >• Sarsaparilla. It strengthens
* an j Guilds U p the system,
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
Ilood's Sarsaparilla pecul- -r-_ If coif
iar curative powers. No ■ O IXSBIT
other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other instead. It is a Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.

half of lo is 7% and ail apple over makes
8. The old woman's part is half of the
remainder and half an apple over with
out cutting an apple. The remainder is
7, and half of 7 is 3% and half an apple
over is 4, which is the old lady'* part.
The girls part is half of the remainder
and half an apple over without cutting
an apple. Half of the three remaining
apples are 1% and half an apple over
makes 2, which is the girls part, and the
1 apple remaining is for the young man.
The old mans 8, the old lady’s 4, the
girl's 3, and the young man's 1, all
added together make 15, which is un
doubtedly the correct answer. If Water
Lily jiersists in saying that 15 iH not the
answer, she will please explain it herself.
}) e went to Prof. Jones’ school exhi
bition at t'assville Friday night, and it
is indeed a rare thing for an audience to
be entertained like that one was. The
dialogues were of the very best kind and
were satisfactorily delivered. The sing
ing by the small children was excellent.
The girls were all pretty, and they mani
fested a degree of intelligence which
showed their training, and they went
through the ordeal of exhibition with
out a mistake. The exhibition through
out was pure and elevating, and every
body was delighted with it.

Will Smith and Will Edwards, two of

I have paid a short visit to the Barnes
ley flower garden this week, for the first
time in several years. Mr. J. Shaw, the
superintendent of the farm, took a great
deal of pains in going through the gar
den and showing me the beautiful scenery
It is a most beautiful place to be
hold, with its beautiful gravel walks,
blooming flowers and shubbery proved
in the best style, one’s soul seems to be
tilled with ecstasy and admiration, as
he stands upon the hill and looks at the
beautiful flowers all around him, and
then casts an eye down the grassy hill
side, and look into the shady groves
below, and sees the beautiful stream of
water as it flows from the spring over
the clean brown pebbles. We also notice
the care that is taken in keeping every
thing so nice and clean. There is no
trash, nograss, nor anything of the kind
in the walks to cause things to look out
of order, around the house and spring
everything is as nice and clean as a par
lor. It does one good to behold such a
scene. I think it is one of the most de
sirable and prettiest places for picnics
and such, that I ever saw, but I suppose
that Mrs. Schwartz is still opposed to
such as she was a few months ago. Had
to stop it on the account of the lingen
tleinanly acts on the picnickers’ part. It
is a pity that we are debarred the pleas
ure of such grounds, but it is worse that
some people do not know how to appre
ciate a good thing when they have it.
Now, we see the mistake of the past, let
everybody try and improve on the
future, peradventure we may find favor
in those that own such grounds. I did
not go through the library that I am
told that it is grand. To take the out
door scene all in all it is just sub
lime. Mr. Editor, I should think a day’s
ramble at such a place as this would be
worth a great deal to you out from your
confiuing office.
There is a stray red mare mule at Mrs.
Seay’s, perhaps the owner would be glad
to know it. She was sold by Mrs. S. sev

Mrs. Seals will open her school at this
place the second Monday in July. She
is a worthy woman and deserves a good
patronage. Bob Bail.
CASSVILLE.
The Cassville Academy’s two days ex
amination, and the exhibition, are past
and gone. The examination was thor
ough, showing a creditable proficiency
and advancement in the scholars, and
satisfying to the patrons that Professor
Sam Jones was all they could desire as
an instructor. We are gratified that our
children are being taught thoroughly,
and the ground-sills laid carefully for the
future building. This is the only mode
of instruction that will make practical
men and women of our children. It is a
lamentable fact that the instruction of
the most of our high schools and colleges
is in a great measure sujterfieial. We
find many of the graduates sent out from
these seats of learning but painted and
varnished ornaments —furniture only for
show and not for use. They have but
simply skimmed over the surface, got a
smattering of the various branches and
come home ill-braced for the inevitable
contest with the stern realities of life.
Our teacher, we are happy to say, is pur
suing tne opposite policy. The work of
instruction is being solidly and thor
oughly done, and we are satisfied. The
exhibition, Friday night, was a creditable
one and was witnessed and enjoyed by a
large, intelligent and appreciative audi
ence. At the close of the exhibition, the
prizes were awarded by Jno. W. Akin,
in his happy and inimitable style. John
is an orator of great ability and always
has the happy facility of saying the right
thing at the right time and at the right
place. His subject was the past educa
tional facilities of Cassville. As he has
promised an extended oration on Cass
ville and her glorious past, w ith reminis
cences and biographical sketches of her
distinguished citizens, at an early' day',
we will not attempt to repoit an outline
of the address, but will promise a full
report of the coming one. The prizes
were awarded to Warring Best, Eugene
Chunn, John Bailey, Alma Gilreath, Ova

she did not get the prize for the best
recitation. Let her be proud of the fact

We heard the following conversation
at the Johnston House bar-room the
other day. The old fellow told it for the
truth:
“Talk ’bout tobakker bein’ injurious!”
said the old miner contemptuously as
he discharged a mouthful at an apple
core under the stove; “ 'taint no such
thing as regards human folks, but is a
leetle troublesome to bars sometimes.”
“How’s that, Uncle?” we asked.
“Wall, yer see in an airly day me and
Pike—Pike was my pard—we were on
the South Fork prospecting. Pike was
a cuss to travel, lie was, so one day
lie war away ahead of me when I heard a
noise in the brush close by, and lookin’
whar the noise cum from I seed a big
grizzly makiu’ fur me. I just dropped
my bundle and made for a big -tree,
which I dumb mighty quick, and I hol
lered for Pike —what for I dont know, as
neither of us had a gun. But, as I was
saying’, 1 made a mistake in the size of
that tree, for when the cussed bar cum to
the tree he jest commenced climbing like
a coon, and, durn mo, I couldn’t remem
ber a single prayer I used to say when I
was a kid. But what was better, I had
a big chaw of terbakker, and had furgot
to spit, l was so excited, so when lie got
purty close ter me I let a mouthful drive
at his eyes. He jest let go to wipe’em
and drapped. He wuz maddern thunder
and as soon as he cud see he cum fur me
agin. But I hed tuk a fresh chaw, and
lied my mouth loaded up; I repeated —
so did he.
“Wall, me and him kept it up until I
found my terbakker gl owin’ short, but
just as I put in the last ehavv I saw Pike
cum back to see what war up. I jest told
him to toss me a fresh plug, and when I
got it I give it to that bar strong, and
less nor five minutes he’d rubbed his
eyes out and I and Pike killed him with
our knives. Fact, by thunder, and don’t
talk ter me ’bout terbakker not bein’
good fur Christian white folks.”
