From Hound Oak.
A day or two ago lightning got
to prancing around and made
pretty lively for our town. It
made a hurried examination of
the telegraph office, seemed not to
like the cut of things, and pro¬
ceeded at once to smash up the
battery jars, jerk out tho insides
of the instruments and root them
cUan up off the table. The opera¬
tor took the job to do the grunt¬
ing, while lightning played hog
and did the rooting. That opera¬
tor must have a through ticket for
this world or it would have been
taken up then and there. But the
f e ]j ow Btill ho i<i 8 j li8 ticket and is
perambulating the world at large
as usual. All the little scraps of
of the telegraph company’s play¬
house had to be picked up in a
basket and carried to Macon. A
new’ iot of playthings were sent
from Macon.
Ask Jet Barron if he wants to
have another talk ovor the tele¬
phone with Mr. Lightning. 1 had
“seen the elephant” and couldn’t
help but laugh &t old Jet when he
waltzed up to the instrument,
rang the bell and grabbed the re¬
ceiver. Yes, and he received a lick
across his wrist that made him
yell. Then all of us laughed ex¬
cept Jet. He couldu’t “see the
pint.” Moral: Don’t fool with
telephone or telegraph instru¬
ments until Mr. Lightning closes
his fireworks performance. He
can beat you shooting skyrockets
aud Roman candles, Just look on
and say nothing.
Mr. J M Edens, who has been
agent and telegraph operator at
Rouud Oak for several years, has
been promoted by having the
Shadydale agency given him,
Mr. A. R. Trippe, of Forsyth,
will take charge of the office at
this place. We hope his Trippe
here will be pleasant, but we do
not want b*m to Trippe up the
feelings of ony of our girls and go
off on a matrimonial excursion
with any of them, like J W Edens
did. -
Just as fast a* we import & girl
to Round Oak some of cur boys
take right of ter her and never let
up until they tear down our social
playhouse by committing matri¬
mony. I aui so discouraged that
I seriously contemplate going out
of the importing business. Still if
I do. I’ll be out of business en¬
tirety, for there isn’t home mate¬
rial enough lo keep me out of
bankruptcy.
Miss Mamie Simpson, from
Everywhere (so she says), is here

A Pleasant Affair.
One of tho most enjoyable occa¬
sions of last week was the barbe¬

Ga.
The place chosen for the ’cue
was a shady grove back nf Mr.
Mulligan’s bachelor quarters.
Easy rockers were provided for
those who were inclined to lounge.
There were plenty of iced drinks
and fruits. The young people
amused themselves with Flinch.
Dinner was served on a table
erected for the occasion. Cream
was handed in the afternoon.

The Colored School at
Haddock.
Mr. Editor:—Please allow me
space to say a few words concern¬
ing the so-called colored indust ri¬
al school at Haddock Hint has
been spoken of by J. 1). Floyd.
As a colored citizen of Jones
county I feel it my duty to speak
when I see that my people are be¬
ing misled in 6uch a way.
In tho flrat place, the whole
scheme is misleading, as can be
shown by the following card, said
to have been iesued by Win. Fin¬
ney, as follows:
“Kind Friend:—We are trying
to raise money to add an industri¬
al building to our school, so we
kindly ask you to please contrib¬
ute to Miss Ellis Daniel any
amount that you feel wiliing to
give. God will bless yon. Respect¬
fully, Win. Finney, President
Colored High .School, Haddock,
Ga. Please return this card and
money toJ. D. Floyd, Jr., Had¬
dock, Ga., by the fourth Sunday
in June. Wm. Finney, President
Board Trustees.”
Wm. Finney denies having is¬
sued such n curd and had no
knowledge of such a card being is¬
sued until he saw one of them in
circulation. Secondly, the read¬
ing of the card says “to add an
industrial building toom school.”
The little house that J. D. Floyd
is attempting to build is nearly a
quarter of a mile from the school
house. Thirdly, we are two poor
to have two schools at Haddock.
Floyd gives us his reason for
building this school that the
children are becoming “too book¬
ish.” In saying this bo contra¬
dicts a statement lie made while
teaching the public school at Had¬
dock. He said then that he would
not tench another public school
because the board of education
did not pay enough for the work,
and on that account lie would
build an independent school.
Those white people who' have
contributed to this school did so
thinking it would be an addition
to the one we now have. They
have told mo this.
Let the colored people of the
county come together and decide
whether or not they want such a
school. Don't 'euve it to one man
who is not oven a resident of the
county.
My friends, please take my
vice and w ait aw hile until you can
see what you are doing. You have
the cart before the horse.
For the above and other reasons
which I withhold for the prosent,
I am opposed to the project.
Yours very truly,
J. S. Guay.
