FROM ROUND OAK,
Dear Hbadlight.— Last Satnr
ilay and Sunday were big days for
Montieello. ’Twas the Annual Cele
bration ol all the Sunday Schools of
Jasper Co. On these occasions the
people congregate under what they
call, ‘‘Sam Jones old teat.” This
tent isr about 120 by GO ft. will scat
a thousand people, there was at least
that many in attendance last Satur
day and Sunday, The tent is made
of heavy Osnabtug, is thrown across
a long row of post, firmly set in the
ground, about like telegraph post,
with a ridge pole on top the post to
prevent tho shoot fr<Jm swaging
between the post, The edges, both
sides and ends, are pulled over post
about eight feet high and tightened
by cords tied to stakes driven into
the ground, similar to those used for
circus rents. As we approach this
tent, we involuntarily look around
for a side show, listen for a hand
organ and almost see pictures of big
snakes and other cunosites, then if
some wag had yelled, “tickets, this
way,” it would have almost been
realization instead of flighty imagi -
nation. Singing is the main feature
on these occasions, with now and.
then a recitation from some ef the
little folks and a great long sermon
from some of the “big guns.” The
singing usually, is fine, only a com
parative fet? however engage in, or
take much notice of any part of the
exercises and a fine opportunity is
presented for the girls to find a
“novus homo,” while the boys hunt
up their “dulciuea del itoboro.” A
lot of useless nothingism is talked
and quantities of littlo (scattered
about absurdities indulged in, that’s
a part of the programme.
Getting off on something else,
wag’nt a part of last week cool ?
Overcoats and great big fires were in
order. Frost the last of May, that
sounds to me. By this cool spell I
was enabled to beliold with my two
eyes, the very essence of close obser
vation, Old Aunt Patsy, one of
Ga’a unbleached domestics, living
just back of the store of J. W. Turk
& Co. was smack out of fire wood,
Sha racked up and down the fence,
pulling from it every splinter that
could be found by the aid of spec
tacles. One might hunt a week now
and never find a splinter make on tooth that
fence big VVould’nt enough to call that a close
pick. observation? you
When you see Mr. John Hunt
again, ask him who went to Gray on
Friday not long ago, thinking it was
Saturday and Alliance meeting day
and did not discover liis mistake
’till late in the afternoon.
Mr, Mathers, a carpenter at work
at Mr, J, M. Huut’e, got up as usual
a few mornings ago, shaved up, put
on his Sunday harness, seated him
self on the lront piazza just in time
to see tho hands start off’ to woik.
’Twas Saturday instead of Sunday.
Farmers all busy since tho rain.

were of good size and the grains

roasting-ear^season, but Mr. Wood

that too on the heel of a very dry

A LIVELY WOMA N.
There is a woman in this city
who is an author, a doctor, an artist,
and an actress’ After breakfast in
the morning she spends a couple of
hours over the manuscript of the
story or essay she has been eniploy
ed to write. From ten to two she
practices medic ce and receives pa
tients in her office. She next works
at her easel as a painter till six, aud
makes pictures for which she finds
buyers. After dinner and an hour’s
rest, she betakes horself to the the
at re where fhe plays the light part
for which she may be set down in
cast. Besides all she is a moth
knows bow to make her ov;n
clothes, and understands how to use
her income from all her professions.
Andyet there are men.in New York
who talk of the female sex as com

The following is copied from Tho
Jasper County News;
SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIA
TION.
The annual meeting of the Jasper
County S. S. Association was hold
in Montieello and wo sketch a l few
items of note which occurred du
Hug tho.se two Java of enjoyment
ami pleasure.
Judge Thompson, tho President,
possesses executive ability oi no
ineau order, and oi>'.' n lj t° his superb
management everytlui. J passed oil
without a jar or jostle ni the nn
menee mat-hinovy of thoS. S.\work
in this County. Strangers vri.'R
were in attendance will long romem
her his kindly beamingeye-inteliec
luul face, and firnijhand which eom
bioed to conduce so much to tho
pleasure cf the occasion.
Our handsome and promising
young attorney, Col. W. T. Lane,
delivered in an eloquent and appro
priate speech of thirty minutes Jthe
Welcome. Addressing himself to
statistics his lino of thought was
very instructive, and showed the
exquisite taste, often violated upon
such occasions, to .muon advantage.
The Col, is truly dashing, but men
tally he is not. gushing.
Prof. Walker made tho next
speech, and his earnest and eloquent
words exhibited a heart and. brain
consecrated to tho work of the
Mastei.
We also had a fine address from
Mr. Pollhil], of Forsyth, which was
timely and delivered in fino stylo.
His line cf thought was far reaching
in its scope, and indicated t.he field
in which grow his thoughts to be
fertile inthe practical. Like Col.
Lane he is youug—but Georgia
sends out to the world her Giants
young, but they are seasoned timber
nevertheless,and will forge to the
fr out.
Tlie music upon this occasion
was pronounced by competent judges
to-liavo been simply splendid. Each
school furnished its quota of songs
and the vast tent seemed filled with
the harmony of sweet sounds. Prof.
Pounds. Drs. Downs and Conoway
and oilier distinguished si ngers lent
their assistance, and the amiable
Mrs. Elliott j presided at the Organ
and added to the pleasure of tho
occasion.
Dr Downs and his family, with
several other ladies and gentlemen,
discoursed some sweet music on
Saturday and Sunday.
Dr Potter delivered a splendid ser
mon on Education from Epk, 6th
chapter 2.3. and 4., Sunday 11 o’clock
a. in.
Tho Banner was awarded in a
happy manner by Col. Davis of
Montieello, and as Hockey Creek
and Prospect tied, it was presented
to both schools; but Judge
son, tho Superintendent of Prospect
school, immediately insisted that
Hockey Creek should Iiuyo entire
possession.
Thera were plentv of ice-lemonade
soda water and refreshments bn the
ground to help sustain tho good
feeling so generally indulged.
There was a feeling of sadnos
which pervaded the audience on ac
count of the illness of the Vice Presi
dent. Mr. M. A. McDowell, and
suitable resolutions expressive of
sympathy were passed and ordered
sent to his iamiJy.
Short Notes.
That Jasper County has more pretty
girls than any County around her,
That we saw no drunkenness or
other bad behavior.
That Maj Key is . not dead nor
asleep, but will get us all to Macon
on the 11. H. cheap.
That judging from the raiment,
every body in Jasper County is ricb.
That we hope again to come to
gather and improve upon the apleu
did time, the children had.
That the recitations from different
schools were all well rendered, but
especially did the little girls and
young Misses lock unusually sweet
andTleld the audience spell-bound.
That Dr. Maddux in his inimita
ble way entertained the children,
and grown people too as to that mat
ter. The Dr is unique, and would we
dare say enjoy the company of one
gallua copperas breeches country
boys. Three chc .rs for the Dr-. Judge
Thompson and the children who sang
bo sweetly on Sunday at thoir J ubiloe
Filv)it PIPPINS.
It affords me much pleasure to
kiow that The Headlight is fast

tb co-operation of its subscribers, it
wll in the near future rank with
tb best county papers.
