From Rouml Oak.
After racing around for
weeks, looking at strangers,
ing to strangers and thinking of
strangers I am glad to get hack
home, pull off my coat, settle
down and give myself over to ev-
«ry comfort within mv reach. I
have come to the conclusion that
I like the follow who
“Home, Sweet Home” just a
tie bit more than lever have and
would like to make an engage-
ment with him for a short verbal
set-to to see if he can’t tell me of
otiier as sensible tilings as hi.s
‘Sweet Home” business.
It’s a downright, hard-down
tiresome tiling to keep corked up
hard and tight as well as dressed
up, with a miserable high collar
lifting you half up by your jaw-
bones, with a small lotof slippery
dignity stuck under you while
dealing in conventional conversa¬
tions during a period of horrid,
torrid cotton weather, with your
clothes sticking to you with surf
bathing tenacity and your real
feelings of rather flimsy variety
How com a fellow, a f ter such tor¬
tures mentioned above, can’t get
untold pleasures out of tho pleas¬
ures of home, while lie tells the
liomefolks of what lie saw, heard
and tasted, in regular homespun
style, with delicious little morsels
of and ,
slang to top it off make
all the more
A young lady came into the
store of F. S. Johnson a few days
ago to buy a pair of hinges to
make some screens. Wonder what
she wants to hide herself for? She
is good looking, fine conversation¬
alist, can cook all kinds of dainty
dishes, as well as those more sub¬
stantial, and plays the piano to
beat the band. To think of a girl
of this character wanting some¬
thing to hide behind, it ought
not to be allowed.
A basket of fine Elberta peaches
was placed at the disposal of half
a dozen of us one day this week,
and while we wore devouring them
with coming appetites, who should
walk tip but poor, lean, scrawny,
delicate, and above all, sympa¬
thetic, Dr. White, who graciously
offered to take the job of eating
all that were then on hand just to
prevent the balance of us from
hurting ourselves. Sympathy,
Sympathy’, thy name is Dr.

Mr. J. M. Hunt must be expect¬
ing some red hot or tropical girls
at liis house. I heard him tell the
ice man in NIacon, over the tele¬
phone, that he was looking for
three girls at his house that night
and it would require at least a
hundred pounds of ice to cool
them off. Mr. Hunt must have-
taken into consideration this
99-degree weather as well as the
high temperature of the tropical
girls,
Mrs. Annie Del! IIunt-Barnes,
of Monticello, with Miss Annette
Kelly, also of Monticello, and
Misses Sue Lee Goolsby and Rosa
Lee Ezell, of Hillsboro, are visit¬
ing the family of J NI Hunt. This
tro of youug ladies is hard to beat
when all the qualities of the three
areTully considered. Their music¬
al talents are good—while ringing
the breakfast, dinner and supper
bell. Their dispositions are fine
while making way with eatables
placed before them on tho table,
and if you want to know how good
they can look just watch them
when a basket of fine peaches and
a lot of nice watermelons are in
sight. To get an idea of their
qualities for cooking just
while they “cook yonr goose” on
the stove of reparte. As to their
conversational powers, wait ’till
q 10 y nre fiuugj-y and show them a
0 f joe cream out of their reach
and hear them beg for it, I say
ai , n j n# these girls are hard to beat,
far they will talk you out of it .
ggjj as to meanness, they do mean
a heap sometime when very much
in earnest,
The residence of Mr. Jim Jack-
smi was totally destroyed by fire
one day last week. A part of the
contents, however, was saved,
There was no insurance on house

c'uint of his financial inability to
^ch a loss.

A Combination Picnic.
The writers of the article pub¬
lished below evidently thought
it would boa waste of time to give
tho location of the Elysium they
describe. And wo agree with
them. If there is such a place in
Jones county the picnicor will find
it, if he has to work overtime to
do so. Their description reads
more like Arcndics in Pausanius
than tho chronicles of prosaic
Jones county. The spirit of Tom
Moore, all tho Nymphs, tho little
blind god and all tho Muses ought
to bo found in such an Utopia.
But for tho intrusion of tho un-
poetie word “grub” this garden
of the gods would have been ideal.
Why not send Mercury around tho
corner to the garden of (lie lles-
peridos for a basket of its golden
.apples, scale the lofty heights
of Olympus and bring away a few
gallons ol Jove’s ambrosia? Veri¬
ly there is a good time coining to
somebody.

Tho undersigned take pleasure
m announcing to the public that
they will have prepared for their
delectation, on the first Saturday
in August next, a place where all
who come will find opportunity
for the exercise of Ins or her tal¬
ents for amusement.
There wil. be a shady doll, bill-
embraced and verdure-screened,
where those who worship Queen
Terpsichore can offer full and un¬
disturbed devotion to her majesty.
Those who incline to the milder
Fays of Pleasure will find shrines
where each and all may, after his
bent, worship his patron saint.
To those of Nimrodic tenden¬
cies wo state with pleasure that a
largo and beautiful Reserve, along
whose sylvan lanes wander timid
Dears, offers opportunity for in¬
dulgence in their favorite sport,
where hunting laws nro not in
force and poaching is not punish-
od.
Rustic seats invisible to the
vulgar gaze—~. But wo won’t say
more,becuuse everybody will want
to come, and thut would ho em-
barassing.
Wo will say, however, that to
everyone who does come ami
brings his grub—don’t forgot that
—a ticket of admission will be
given which will entitle him to
enjoy all we have hut hinted at
and more than space permits us
to tell.
Ali you have to do besides
bringing the grub is to stop at Dr,
Poland’s house, hand your basket
to the agent and receive in return
a ticket of admission to more
pleasure'thau you ever dreamed
could bo crowded into one short
