One of Jones county’s little tin
bleached domestics with very nb-
breviated into •
trousers came a
store at Round Oak a few days
ago, and when the clerk asked him
what he wanted, said: “Tencents
wafer lard.” When asked if he
had anything to put it in, lie re-
plied: “Yas-sar, a bucket,” and
he began hurriedly to feel in all
his pockets, two or three times
over, almost punching the bottom
out of some of them, whe l the
clcrh laughed and told him he did
not have a bucket in his pocket,
“Dot’s so,” said the hoy. “Dat
bucket out iu dor buggy.” After
it he went.
Old Uncle Noel Card, of anti-
helium variety, got terribly
warmed up in a religious way dur¬
ing the horrid torrid summer
days. While this internal spritual
conflagration was going on he be¬
came possessed of the belief that
he could fly to heaven like Elijah.
By way of preparing himself for
this wonderful feat he secured
two large bundles of fodder, a sack
of biscuit, and an old plow line
to tie the fodder and biscuit to
him while lie climbed a (all pine.
After reaching the desired height
he ti<-d the sack to his neck with
a piece of the plow lino, ami tak¬
ing a bundle of fodder in each
hand he sprang from the tree, in
the full belief that he would go
straight up to heaven. But with
all his faith and fodder attach¬
ment'lie could not, overcome the
gravitation that [Hills a body
downward when suspended in the
air. The fragment of a smile that
played over his face left it as lie
started to the ground like a rock.
He struck hard enough almost to
kill him, and it took nature a
good long time to repair damages.
Uncle Noel expected to live on the
biscuit while o_i his way to heav¬
en. They were not injured in his
full and were used to appease his
appetite while recovering from
the effects of his unexpected corn-
hat with mother earth.

longed stay with friends in South

Mr. Jim Jackson, with two oth¬
er men, went seining in Falling
creek, just about where it flows in¬
to the Oemulgee river, near Dame
Ferry, and with one dip with the
seine caught one hundred and
seventy-five fine channel cat fish.
That was as many fish as they
wanted, so the seine was rollad up
and the three men divided the fish
and went home, Mr. Jackson says
he could have caught a thousand
if he hud made dips enough at the
rate of one to two hundred at a
dip. This is a pretty good fish
tale and if it is not strictly cor¬
rect, bounce Jim Jackson, and
not me. .
