From Hound Oak.
While on a little jaunt lately I
got hold of a bran new wrinkle on
the question of inanagingchildfen
in school. One teacher had sever¬
al small and now pupils who were
so wild that sho could not get
them near enough to exam¬
ine them or hear a lessen. So she
had to call on some ol' the larger
pupils to help her hem them up
in a corner of tho school room,
while sho lassoed them one at a
time and led them up to her desk
to go through a process of train¬
ing before she undertook to teach
them. This lassoing program had
to be resorted to every morning
for some time before the little
fellows get gentle enough 10 get
down to books right.
Another new zip I picked up is
this: A Indy friend of mine lias a
pair of daughters who play the
piano nicely. Well, last winter
while the weather was so misera¬
bly cold she had these daughters
to play some of their finest instru¬
mental pieces, and as the music
would freeze the aforesaid mama
would pack it away. That’s the
way I understood it. This s im-
mer, now mind ver, while these
daughters were off on a visit, this
same inamagot sorter hungry for
music, and remembering the froz¬
en stock she had packed away,
picked up the idea that a private
phonographic musical arrange¬
ment might be gotten out of the
frozen stock by thawing it out in
the sun. Sbo didn’t sny, but I sup¬
posed the music didn’t come to
time but oozed out in the spring.
Right here I felt my laughing ap¬
paratus begin to tighten up, and
in spite of me, a sneaking incred¬
ulous little hicupy lnugli slipped
out, when this mania said to me :
“You don’t seem to believe any
thing; come here and I will show
yon where the music froze and
cracked the piano. Sure enough
there is ti e crack in the piano to
show for itself. So the fun ended
and a big watermelon was set up-
W!* I'
All last week Round ()ak was
chock full of imported girls nnd
we had fun to burn. Among them
were Vlisses Lizzie James nnd
Daisy Elder of Atlanta, Misses
Kate Greene and Nora Morton of
Gray, Miss Mittio Muliikin of
Bradley, Miss Mamie Adams bf
Eatonton, and Miss Lou Marshall
of Macon. Three parties wore the
sum total along th.at line nnd we
had to press Saturday night into
serviee to finish up our social fes¬
tivities before Sunday came in.
Perhaps the most pleasant af¬
fair of the week was a picnic and
barbecue in the grove at the old
Barfield place, now owned by J S
Stewart, given in honor of Misses
Jessie Wynne and Mary Powell of
Cochran, Ga., who are visiting
Miss BthcJ Stewart. The crowd
bunched nicely in the morning
nnd a general mixup of pleasant
and funny sayings and doings was
indulged in. At dinner, Great
Scott! what a pile of goed things
to whet up and then appease the
appetites of all. After dinner I
“thought in my soul” the boys
Wood-all Hunt even the Bar field
over in search of a pretty little
B°rry, while others would Sally
around the Hoi-land only to see a
White-head bob up serenely. Two
fellows seemed to think some one
was trying to Cheat-am out of
their Greaves even and were work¬
ed up to a \\ bite heat-, and about
the time the Smith seemed to
have things sorter mpnded up
Mc-Culier(d) up smartly at the
Childs play then going on* when
someone Elder than the others
said: “Give me a fan quick I he
Wynne has settled down, but not
entirely BarroH of results. About
this time Mrs. Blank And-er-son
both seemed determined to mas-
ter the Stow-urt, but bet ore they
were at it the Turk(e) began to
gobble and show signs of real life,
when all idea of such art
abandoned, and to hide tlieir real
motives said thev would Jess-see

There seems to be no end to
kicking about the tax digest for
tho present year, ami while we are
tooting no man’s horn, and ask¬
ing political favors of no one, wc
will say this much in the interest
of fair play. The tax receiver
has received from the comptroll¬
er's office a letter in which he
(the Comptroller-General) states
that the tax digest for Jones coun¬
ty has been received and will com¬
pare favorably with any in the
state. Morover the tax receiver
ha3 the blanks filled out and
sworn to by the tax payers as the
true market value-of their prop¬
erty and correct returns. Now
let the grand jury dc their duty.
