reading Tije News.
We were pleased to meet Mrs.

one.
We have two communications
from Robertsvillc this week, one
of which is not signed with wai¬
ter's name. We have a rule that
our correspondents must let us
know who they are, not necessari¬
ly for publication, but as an ev¬
idence of good faith.
The ground is getting hard, a
crust has formed over the recent¬
ly planted corn and a shower of
rain would be acceptable.
Since the above was put in type
the rains have come, the grass is
growing, the corn coming up and
the farmer, eneonraged to reneiv-
'
When we first came to the

t is gratifying . to know ^at
Rev. J. C. Burton, of Hillsboro,

Decidedly, one of the nicest en¬
tertainments given this season,
was a Snhnagrundi party given by
Mr. & Mrs. John M. Clark las
Thursday evening, in Ik nor of two
of the fairest flowers that could
be plucked from tho gardens of
Jones and Baldwin—Misses
tie Moughon and Etta Brown.
Miss Moughon looked enchanting-
ly beautiful in a lovely gown of
pink satin and lace, with orna¬
ments of diamonds. Miss Prow.i
v as tastefully arrayed in green
crepon and lace, ornaments pearls.
There was a large and select, con¬
course of young people present to
participate, and the games intro-
ducedwero new and unique'in cv-
cry particular. The house
handsomely decorated with ferns,
vines and flowers, and really
m ido one ft el as if they had been
suddenly' transformed into a land
where only' fairies dwell. At 10
o’clock we were ushered into a
spacious dining hall, where u
sumptuous repast awaited us.
Right here my pen fails me, and
space is too limited to describe
:he menu mi) utely, sufficient it
is to say r that everything that the
most f. at id ecus could wish for
was to be found on the beautiful-
ly decorated table, and the two
sweet little Misses that presided
over tho table—Lillie Holt and
Minnie K. Clark—deserve special
mention. Thy moved around in
a graceful manner, and if any
one left the table without being
thoroughly regaled, it was their
own fault. The good hostess,
Mrs. Clark, presided over the
whole affair in a manner that
made every one feel perfectly at
ease. The crowd dispersed at a
late hour, feeling that Mr. & Mrs.
Clark couldn’t he beat for true
hospitality. May these good peo¬
ple live to celebrate many more
such enjoyable occasions; anil we
tender to those dear young ladies
our sincere thanks for being in¬
strumental in producing so much
happiness as was condensed in
this evenings entertainment.

ROl’ND OAK PENCJLINGS.
IIY IKK GOINS.
1 am siek this week ; have tooth¬
ache all over. My head feels like
it might, have a diminutive Texas
pony on the inside trying to kick
out. 1 almost- wish it was made
of wood, then it couldn’t hurt. If
any body can tell me how I can
get away from myself ’till 1 feel
better, I’ll crawl under at least a
tub full of obligations to them,
and if they will take out a pat nt
for the process I’ll buy the right
for Jones county. Still, in spite
of all this inclemency of spirits
and the feeling that 1 am being
dragged around with a garden
rake, I spilt a whole hat full of
wisibles right smack in the mid-
dIe of the floor * hp » one of tlu ‘
unbh'ushed domestics from Joe
Barren’s place came in the stor ■
of J. W. Turk & Co. and called
for a pair of nits. ‘‘Did you say
nits?” asked th i clerk. “Yes sir,
dose here nits wlmt yer wares on
ycrhands.” “There is iu> such
thing here,” '•aid the clerk. “Ye
ser'dar is, kause 1 has seen cm ;daze
sorter lac gloves. ” “Perhaps you
moan mite,” shoving her a pair.
I)oms da T’ ' vh,lts do > T w,lf? ”
“Twenty-five cents,” said the
clerl “ “I’ll take dem; and you
call deni mits, does you?” The
clerk and I had scrambled wisi¬
bles for luncheon.
We have had several young la¬
dies visiting here, but they have
gi ne home and I am mad id.ou‘
it, and shant tell who they were.
Two of them arc practicing for the
walking match at tho Atlanta
fair. They play pedestrian three
mi es per day. F'.m lure to

SUPERIOR CO!' RT.
-
Jones Superior court convened
last Monday morning, Judge John
C. Hart presiding. This is Judge
Hart’s first visit to our county,
and like nil the other places wore
he has held court, has made n
most favorable impression upon
the people. On the bench lie pre¬
sides with ease and dignity, and
while he is firm and positive in
his decisions, kindness and tour-
tesy is shown to every one.
enilly he is a g. ntlemnn that
it is pleasant to be with, and who
seems to take pleasure in moving
the people of the circuit over
which .. , lie , presides. Jins . circmt .
has for a number -of years been
presided over by jurists of high
order, and in the election of Judge
Hart has made no digression. His
charge . to the , grand . jury . v as
shorter than we are aceust lined to
hear, but was pointed and covered
the law he is required to give in
charge.
The grand jury was organized
by electing 8am’1. Barron, fore-
man and ,,,,,, 13. K. Jarrell j, secretary. . ,
Mr. Barr. >u was afterward, louml
to be disqualified as a grand juror
by reason of the fact that Iu> iiad
been for some years a jury com¬
missioner, but had i 'signed and
his successor appointed, He
declined to accept the appoint¬
ment and that disqualifies Mr.
Barron until hi.-i ] lace as jury
conn: lssiomw is filled. T. W.
Duffy was then elected as fore-
man. Their presentments will
be pubihhe l next week.
There is quit-; an array of legal
talent in attendance upon court.
Besides the local bur there are
Judge Richard Joi n on, of Atlan¬
ta, (whom we yet claim as a Jones
county citizen) W. A. Dee;an, J.
W. Preston, J. It. Cooper, T. B.
West, J. L. Anderson, C P Sneed,
B M Davis, C A Turner, It V & R
N Hardeman, of Macon, Robt.
Whitfield, Rufus Roberts, Rich¬
ard Howard, of Milledgeville, It
L Burner, of Forsyth, A M Spear.
Ma lison, Flem Jordan, R A War¬
ren, James Kilpatrick, Col. Thur¬
man, Monticello, and Solicitor
Lewis.
There has been but two civil ca¬
ses tried by jury :—
LowojA Small Ejectment.
vs
Eugenia I’ottlo.
Verdict for Plaintiff anil $875
for r lit.
W. F. Price & Co
A S Solomon, v* Deft, • and ) (

Verdict for Claimant.
The criminal docket was taken
ii]> Wednesday'. The case against
Dr. Poland, charged with an at¬
tempt to commit rape is in pro¬
gress of trial as wo go to press,
and will probably reach the jury
this morning.
