Get thy ' 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." T. W. J. Covington & Macon E. E. TIME TABLE, No. 1. To take effect at 7:00 a. m. Monday December 10th, 1888.
