VIII. A convention of realistic
renders. John Henry Roberts de¬
serves much praise-for the happy
way in which he introduced the
several delegates.
IX. Recitation—Miss Nellie
May Wilson. Nellie May, dressed
in her grown sister's costume,
made a very charming young lady.
The audience gave her t he applause
she deserved.
X. Tableau—Intercession—Miss
Gussio Smith and George Blanks.
XL Recitation—Musinin camp
—Miss Lucy Stewart. Every one
knows how well .viss Lucy recites:
she did full justice to her piece;
her voice was clear, and every one
of the large audience could hear
each word distinctly.
XII. Vocal solo—Whose little
girl are you?— Miss Lois Duffy.
This was one of tin' sweetest little
songs, sung by one of James sweet¬
est little girls.
XIII. Hoop drill. An old “vet”
lias remarked that lie stayed in
the war four years, but never
learned to drill as these young la¬
dies did. Their costumes of pink
blue were indeed pretty anil
becoming.

May Duffy made a most charming

think, this could not have been his
first attempt in “making love to
pretty girls.

ses Kingman.
XX. Tableau.—Tim guardian

Emma Roberts.
XXI. Recitation and Tableau—

program rendered on this oc¬

| ROUND OAK PENl’lLINGS.
m ik i: coins.
Quite a little rail road collision
occurred lierc on last Friday morn
’
Mr .. M,,|ton ,.
U, K- - * * °l ir
man. had orders to push two Hat
ears out on the main line and load
them with cross ties. Knowing
that he had a grade sutlieient to
let them back on the side track.
w hen loaded, he did so and went
off with his gang to his regular
work, leaving his switch open l>v
accident. When the up passen¬
ger train came along, tin* engineer
supposing all was right, came
down the grade to the depot at
the usual speed, but to bis sur¬
prise his engine left the main line
at the switch and plunged along
tin* side tract, where it collided
with the two cars loaded with
cross ties, jolting off some of the
the ties and knocking tlm cars
further along the side track. The
coupling roil in front of the en¬
gine was broken off when it struck
the draw head of the Hat ear, and
tlx* pilot beam, to which the coup¬
ling rod’issecured, was broken in
two, thereby damaging the pilot
bars slightly, also some rods and
braces about the front of tlu* en-
gu e. After about ten minute(
examination it was fotind that
the engine eould make her regular
trip, so it went on. Mrs. Jess
Hunt, Mrs. Creigli, Miss Annie
Dell Hunt, Henry Hunt and Bob
McCullough were all standing on
the side track as the engine came
cashing along, they not noticing
that the engine had left the main
line, and all came very near being
run over. Henry Hunt seeing
the danger first, veiled to Mrs.
Creigli anil Miss Annie Dell, both
of whom just did get off the track
in time to save themselves. Mrs.
Hunt would have been run over
had Henry not jerked her olV the
track, and in doing so he threw
her to the ground and jolted her
up a little. Boh McCullough
saved himself by ft close shave
and says it scares him now to
think of it. This narrow escape
was
caused from carelessness of the
Tailroad authorities to have the
(rain pull down to the dirt plat-
t'oriirafti'r taking water. All pas-
sen gel’s have to scramble off and
the train up in a cut where tlm
ear steps are about three feet from
the ground. -After taking water,
if.the train would always pull
down to the platform all passen¬
gers Avould be out of any and all
©Hell danger as on last Friday.
Mr. Melton has been suspended
for thirty days for leaving the
switch open and Mr. Henderson
takes his place during the suspen-
sion.
Miss Rosa Peacock, of Macon,
is spending some time with the

ville, is visiting her sister, Mrs.
Dr. White. No young lady who

Eil Culpepper and Boh McCul¬
lough had a green plum battle one
day last week, and Bob used bis
left eye ball for a back stop for
one plum and came near having
It knocked out. He is wearing it
in a sling this week but says In*
will wear colored glasses next
week.
