' FROM ROUND OAK,
Dear Headlight;— Sunday morn
ing last we left Round Oak lor
Quarterly meeting at Clinton, the
first time seated in a saddle for a
long while, but *#ilh free use of
switch and spur, we landed there in
good time, waltzed all over towu in
short order and saw nearly every
body. Heard a good solid sermon
from Bro. Singleton, had an awful
good dinner, and paralyzed with de
light to see the ‘‘girle” in the “aft.”
At 5 o’clock we mounted our Bteed,
went whistling and singing on our
journey, fooling fine over a day bo
pleasantly spent; but alas ! mun
dane pleasures frequently have an
abrupt terminatinalion, so with us.
Now wo say, “Know all men ty
these presents” that I, T- W. J., do
hereby with muchly woueded feel
ings call the undi v dod attention of
the County Judgi, Road
ers and Owr-aoers to the fact
there is « certain limb on a
w hi to oak, near the public road, a
little east of Mr. Sam Green’s Lome,
j that hangs out across tho road in a
i ‘Citarge oaydnft” position and it
struck us Sunday afternoon right
iu.tlw cuunfnuw^,
tf)> and fc-tlpsd us and fc*ro a hop?
iti our liew opera lat; we didn’t
“see Slav's/’ but a car load of toma
hawk* aw! almost heard the Indian
war wjjoop! (Please remember
that w# were lining ono of the de
scendants of the historic animal
once rode by Balsam.) At this
stago of the game the ‘‘bucking
process* began and we flew off at a
tangent in the direction of “where
the sun is at noon/’ took up among
the rocks near iho spring in a hori
zontal position, with numerous
bruises and soil enough ou our suit
to constitute it real estate. Judging
from the feeling of our back since
that fall, wo come to the conclusion
that the “apron string” of the ma
lieioue.adversary broke right there
and “spilt’’ all his rocks: This
aforesaid mentioned animal known
as descendant of Balaam’s favorite
means of locomotion belongs to
what “J” wpuklcall one of the “un
bleached" deacons of tho Baptist
church, and should bavo behaved
better, especially ou Sunday! We
are here at tl'o “Oak" agaiu with
whole bones (as far ns wo knjw,
though every bone feels as if it hail
been pulled at by a “nail grab.’’)
The Bible says we mtisn’t work on
Sunday, but l guess a fellow is ex
cusable when bo has to work his
passage to church and back, and wo
certainly think wp deservo a chro
mo for the job. “J” has scoured
the country for news, so wo will
<elo3i with a low ‘'peisonal*/’ vfz:
Our cat (by name, Mary Laura
Elizabeth Susan Aun Rebecca,) has
new kittens.
Little Ben, the pig, is siek, wo
guess. Ho grunts terribly.
“Old Spec” has laid in the coop,
and our chanticleer, “Robinson
Crusoe,” is workinglike n Trojan to
procure bugs for the hens. Bet you
cant guei-s why ivo named him
“Robinson Crusoe ?" (Why, be
oause he crew so!)
Mr. and Mrs. fas. A. Walker hnvo
added ouo more “calamity” to their
family. Suppose they will call him
“Bat" as they cull the ot hoc “Jamie."
