Blouutsville neighborhood, great¬
ly improved in health.
migrating watch and clock-
tinker been among us. He suc¬
ceeded in talking off with $1,25,
which he beat out of a poor ne¬
gro. When will people leant to
avoid those traveling humbugs?
One man in a county who al¬
ways pulls for its success, though
lie never accomplishes anything,
is worth more than a dozen others
who everlastingly growl at every¬
thing that is done.—Ex.
If Mrs. John Morgan could have
seen us devour those beans she
kindly sent us, it would have
expressed our gratitude more for¬
cibly than words. These acts of
kindness on the part of our neigh¬
bors are indeed appreciated.
The James base ball club had
accepted a challenge from the

good baseball material among our
boys.
Again we are constrained to
congratulate Haddock upon her
public spirit. Her school is soon
to close witli a commencement,
an outline of which is found in
to-days issue of The News. Prof.
Ray is doing all in his power to
build up his school and to make
these closing exercises a success.
The public invited to attend. Let
ns all attend and be encouraged
to do more for educational purpo¬
ses in our respective localities.

ry children felt as gay and free as
the frolicsome colts in pastures
near. We carried a cook and fry¬
ing pan and added the nice fresh
fish to our dinner,which we heart¬
ily enjoyed. Some of the little
ones had never caught a fish be¬
fore. With what eagerness they

Mrs. H. J. Stewart, Mr. and
Mrs. T. W. Duffy went to the city

ting relatives and friends here.
Wo are glad to have them with ua.
G. C. Smith and his daughter,
Miss Mamie Dallas, boarded the
train here for the Central City on
Monday last.

sional call here one day last week.
The Dr. seems to enjoy the best of
good health.
The accomplished and modest
Miss Rossa James spent most of
last week in the Central City with
relatives and friends.
Wo had a good rain on Friday
and the farmers had their forces
out planting out potato plants,
cabbage,collards and other plants.
Miss Mary Conn, of Milledge-
ville, spent two or three days with
Miss May Stewart last week. Come
again, Miss Mary, we are glad to
have you at any time.
II. J. Stewart spent a day with
W. A. Bragg one day last week
He was very sorry to find Mrs. B.
in bed sick, and hope she will soon
bo all right once more.
Ike Goins says that lie believer
that he was born on Friday. I
think that I must have been and
that before breakfast, and I be¬
lieve on the wrong time of the
moon.
T. Duffy’s goat got mad the
other day because he was not al¬
lowed to eat up the china sprouts,
and went down to the crock and
died. He just cried and cried be¬
cause his goat got mad and died.
Bob Kingman says the grass
has bis cotton tangled so that he
does not know what to do with it.
Now if Gen. Green has made a
Hank movement on Bob, cliffy
had better lay down his fiddle and
bow and lake up bis hoe ind get
a hump on him, or Gen. Green
will soon have him surrounded.
They tell mo that there is no
money in the country, but I don’t
believe a word of it, why you
ought to he here some time when
the train arrives from Macon—see
them get off with both hands and
arinsfull, the conductor and por¬
ter right behind with as many
packages as they can stand up
under.
Miss Mamie Kingman’s fine
shepherd dog, Cash, died a feu-
days ago with the blues. It was
in this way—the father of the
young lady has a fine pointer by
the name of Credit, and Bob let
Credit go of on a long visit, so
Cash gets so lonesome that she
had the blues, and she had them
so bad that it killed her.

ROUND0A ■
BY IKE G y \ gj
Henry Jackson, a vrt of
work kind of nig. r, \va • plciiini 1 , a
young mule not long avo and af¬
ter plowing nearly all dr.v during
which iline la: !.;.d di .hod out a
barn 1 of git up and whous, a wash
tub of goes and haws, a
and one pulls to the right and as
many to the left, no end to stum-
bleu and jolts, ho became
much w(Misfed and sat down in tli
shade on the grass to rest. Soon
the idea stria k him that e voyage
to slumberland was in order, 10
knew the mule would rim oti if
left hitched to the plow. 1ft! >d
to a tree > might, get tangled up
in the break his neek or
leg while Homy was making Pis
voyage. So to n:nk“
right he unhitch.d the
in poked his lines feel through the loops
the where his hands had
been, and lay down flat of his
back straddle of a right smart size
peach tree. After a while Tom
White, who was bird hunting,
came along ami found Henry in
this ridiculous predicament-. P>ok
upon himself the job to thrash
down on the mule with a brush
and the first lunge th nr.il"
the sleeping nigor was pulled
against the tree, which 1" nt a
tie and over the top he sailed,
The mule went across tin field
and into the woods at a two
lick, Henry bouncing up and
down like an old dry coon skin
when some one pulls it for the
purpose of training dogs to run it.
He has a strange way of stammer¬
ing like this—Wor, wer Bob, wer,
wy at at, wer Bob iver, ivy at ivy
ivy, iv-e-r, stopped w-o-r. Finally the
mule and Ilenry gathered
himself up into a convenient knot
to pull his feet out of the loops,
to find his heel strings cut and
bruised, also his back and herd
scratched and cut. Tom thought,
the mule might kill Henry, so he
put out after the mule and spread
his sympathy all over Ilenry
when ho caught up and appealed
very anxious about him. “How
come your mule to run uncle 1 ien-
ry?” “Wy at, wy at at, wy a:. I
dunno,” said Henry. “Jos look
at dat big cut on yer head ;;nl;cr
Henry,” said Tom. “Was Tom,
wy at, ivy at at. ivy at, dat wher
at at, ivy at, I fell der las, ivy at
at, wy at time, ivy at, I went up.”
“How did yer git yer foots in dix
line?” asked Toni. “Wy at, Toni,
wy at at, ivy at, I had tor put, ivy
at at, der lines round my, ivy at,
wy ivy at, ivy at, logs, wy at at,
so if der mule, ivy at, ivy ivy start
off, ivy at at, ivy at dat d< only
wy ivy at, ivy at, way I had ivy at
at, ivy at ter wake up, ivy at at,
ivy.” “Why linker Henry,” said
Tom, “didn’t yer know dat mule
would kill yer if he happened ter
run?” Wy at at, wy at, I didn’t
spose wy at at, ivy at, wy I’do go
sho mif ivy at, wy at wy tor sleep,
wy at at, wy at, i kept late wy at
wy at wy hours last night, wy at
at, ivy at.” Thus ended the day’s
plowing, and Henry took the
mule home. He gets fight ing mad
when Torn tells the joke on him.
Ah “Sioux ii u Sioux/’ t am
afraid you are a sort of ho-ens
po-cus, “hair pin.” or “Ben You Johnson” know kind heap of j
a
more about “Africa.” than Round
Oak, and I’ll take your h ■•■!. for
my girl’s papa and mania have
never yet made any Heavenly IX-
plorations, if so, they have r<- j
turned to Jones county, for i j
talked with them a few d ./s ago |
right smack in the middle of the I
road.
I shan’t call any name but a
man living near Round Oak who
lost nearly all his chickens by
cholera, id very fond of
berries, and nou havi'- r (a ■ deny
of the proverbial fruit in coni'
time, had his apprtit lid
up to a feather edge for i as of
them, when ho came to toivi
bought a dozen to take* Lorn : with
him. No one at bin homo liked
them except himself, and ho had
calculated to make his supper of
them. So he had the fry pan hot,
grease melted and smiled all ovei
himself as he broke eleven into
the pan and picked up the last
one. He hurriedly emptied the
contents of that shell into Hie pan
with the others, but it happened
to be a diminutive chicken. He
looked over his School-school les¬
son, said his prayers and went to
bed, without eating anything.
The next morning he ays he felt
like ho could eat a box of fried
horn pants buttons.
One day last week a two horse
wagon load of young people, with
Mr. and. Mrs. Wilburn (•.
ron them, had quite a pie:, amt
day in the sira.vberry fields. Tim-.
| took along a quantity of sulistan-
j tiai grub, to/goivith with plenty the berries. of milk Oodles and
sugar berries gathered,
of were plenty of
cool water and shade found and
lots of “soft” things were said.
