FROM ROUND OAK.
Bjiar IIaiduoux:—A s “ct-liter
atiw” seems to bo the order of U 10
day, I will say this has been a week
offish, fun and frolic. Your corres
pondent, together with a boon com
panion, Las not let tho grass accu
mulate upon the “boulevard” that
leads from the city of Round CaK to
the hospitable homo of Air. J. AI.
Hunt, whore Misses Goolsby and
Ward, two of tho sweetest flowers
that bloom in the sunny glades of
Jasper, havo for the past week been
the guest of Mias Hattie Hunt, who
knows so well how to entertain bet
friends and make homo pleasant.
Air. Hunt and his amiablo lady
turned tho house over to the young
folks and to say that tho week was
one round of gayety and pleasure
is putting it very mildly. My com
panion, the Col., dropped in upon
us just the right moment and hav
ing come, bo saw and was conquer
ed. lie expected to remain only a
day in our metropolis, but stayed a
woek ani would have been right
hero now, had not liis fair conquer
ers, after laying waste bis affections,
returned to tho pastures of their
own oounty, accompanied by their
frir hostess. Tho Col. after lookup
over t‘no fiold ot'battlo gathered to
bis shattered forces, furled
his conquered banner and returned
slowly across tho borders. I am
left all alone and will endeavor to
bo the historian of that memorable
battle of hearts. The campaign
opened last .Monday night and
though tho Col. and I did our host
to capture our fair opponents no
serious engagements wore brought
on. The Col. made several desper
ate charges, but every assault was
Ward-cd off. The
dauntlosB Henry II. made one of his
stragetic flank movements and got
in with some very effective work.
Frank II. did some fine sharp shoot
ing, tip top skirmishing and admi
rable retreating and would at times
greatly amuse tho gang with
“charge ’em, boys, charge ’em.”
Many merry games were played,
any quantity of bright funny things
said, the memory of which will long
linger in tho minds of all who par
ticipatcd. I learned to play at
“Hearts” and was wonderfully suc
cessful in capturing them, but the
funny part of the thing was, tho
more hearts I caught tho more 1
was beaten. Orio young lady’ fa
cetiously remarked that I had won
all their hearts and that tho multi
tude of my conquests was the cause
of my uitimato defeat. While a
game of Euchre was going on, Miss
Hattie surprised the players by
placing four plates of sherbet on
the card table immediately in front
of tho players. Fran k said he would
not pass. Henry, that ho believed
he would take it up. Tho Col.
stretched out his long arm and
seized Miss Ward’s plate, saying,
I will take my partners best and go
it alone, when sho looked up and
said Euohro (you cur.) Friday
morning we all armed ourselves
with hook, line and pole and set out,
fuotback. for Goolsby crock, about a
mile away. Tho day was lovely,
every one’s spirit at tho top notch
audoh! tho fun wo did have. All
tho hooks were named. Whan a
craw-fish was caught, back out was
the omen. At noon wo wore joined
by Mr. J. T. Hunt, R. II. Marshall
and his charming wife, Under
somo largo trees where tho shade
was very dense, near tho banks of
tho creek, a substantial lunch was
spread, to which was added our
catch, something less than a peek of
minnows, nicely fried and smoking
hot. Tho ramble had whetted cv
oiy one’s appetite, aa old Bob Bunk
ley would say, to a “feather edge,”
and there was hut little talking done
till our hunger was appeased. Af
ter luncheon wo cooled ourselves
with delicious ico cream that was
frozen whilo tho fish wero being
fried. Such another lot of fun wo
did have putting ico down ono an
other’s hacks and playing all man
ner of pranks. When we reached
home late in the afternoon wc were
foil of pleasant memories and red
hogs.

BURKE COUNTY LETTER.
Editor H*ADuanT:—I thought
perhaps a short letter from this
section might be of interest to some
of your readers. Burke, as you will
see by reference to tho amp, is a
] a rge county. Wo have three rep
rcaentativea in the Legislature,
Our population m . IfcSO ,. or . was 1or ,
Burke i3 bounded on tho north by
Richmond, on the east by the Sa
vannah river, on tho south by
Screven and on tho west by Jcffer
son county.
AOniCClTUBB.
Wc have some fine lands in Burke
and some large, progressive farmers.
A lew days ago, 1 visited one, who
made, in 1887, twenty-four bales to
the horse ■ lie run five plows and
made lit0 halos. He. used about
20 tens of standard fertilizers, He
paid out 800 to get the stumps up
out of his way and says ho made
tho money back the first year.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
We have a good school commis
sioner,—one who takes an interest
in the schools. Wc have about six
ty schools in the county. As is the
case in many other sections, the
schools taught by tho colored teach
ers aro better attended than those
in charge of the whites. Ibis
ought not so to be. I am glad,
however, that tho white people are
waking up on the subject, and say
they will do letter. As to cbnreh
ns and religion, Burke will compare
favorably with other counties. We
have m the county about fifteen
Methodist churches and a good
many of other denominations. I
have not yet found a Hardshell
church. This climate may pot bo
adapted to them. They aro good
people, goncrally, you could spare
as a few from Jones county. This
county gave 1,255 majority for pro*
hibition,
Aly heart is made glad and 1 re
joice as 1 read ot tho good meetings
and religions prosperity of old
Jones. May vhe good work go on !
Tho writer gets six papdrs a week,
but tho Headlight ia read as soon
as I get it, and tho boys like it too
Allow me to thank you, Mr. Editor,
for your kindness in sending mo the
paper and congratulate you on your
success.
Should I havo a week to spare
this summer I would bo glad to
spend it among the. “rod bills” of
Jones, visiting relatives and friends
and tho scones and associations of
other days. Bros. Bonner and
r l higpen have gone to their reward.
Noble men ! Lot us emulate their
example and moot them in heaven,
J, S. L.
Girard, Ga.,’Juno 15th.

1*. A, Shepherd, Norfolk, Ya.
August 10th, 183S, writes: “I
depend on B. B. B. for the preser
vation of my health, I have had it
in luv family now nearly two years,
and in all that time have not had to
have a doctor.”
Thus. Paulk, Alapaha, Ga., writes
“I suffered terribly from dyspepsia.
The use of of B. 11. B. has made
me feel like a new man. I would not
take a thousand dollars for the good
it has done me,”
W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “I had a long spell of
typhoid fever, which at last seemed
to settle in my right leg, which
swelled up enormously. An ulcer
also appeared which discharged a
cup full of nutter a day. I then
gave B. B. B. a trial and it cured
me.”
