From Round Oak.
Well, the joku comes my way
again. 1 have escaped for seme
time, but am in it at last. It is a
part of my daily work to closo the
east window o f Capt. F. S. John¬
son’s stoi" of nights, and when
the weather is warm enough, to j
keep the lower snsh hoisted.
.
When night comes on 1 jump out
of the window tocluc,. he heavy
shutters, put lit up tho iron bar
and pin it and then go buck into
the store by way of the front door
to put in the key to secure the
window for the. night. A few
nights ago, the window being
hoisted, 1 leaned forward and got
myself otherwise in a position to
jump out of the window to go
through the usual process of
fastening it up, when, to my great
surprise und pain, my head went
right square against the heavy
shutter instead of tiie darkness
which I thought I was going head
foremast into. This sudden col¬
lision knocked me backward a
step or two against a table and
seemed to drive my teeth deeper
into my jawbones, made both eyes
balls tremble and swim around in
briny juice, to say nothing of the
innumerable stars I saw jumbled
up together, and the great big puff
on the top of my head. For sev¬
eral days I had to keep tho crush
in my hat a little higher than us¬
ual to keep it from touching the
sudden tender growth on the top
of my head, and rdso had to use
the comb and brush very careful¬
ly as they were passed over this
unbecoming enlargement of my
scalp. Some friend, I suppose,
unlcknowin’ to me, had closed the
shutter, thinking to do me a fa¬
vor, and if I had noticed time the
shutter was closed it would have
been an accommodation. Now I
feel for the shutter of nights with
my hand instead of my head.
Mrs. Nelle Pattersou, nee Nellu
Turk, of Monticello, with her two
little attachments, Delia and El¬
sie, came down last week and
spent a day at Round Oak among
a lot of old friends. The aforesaid
attachments were like birds out
of a cage and took in the town
generally with their grand-dad.
The people up here have get
over the State Fair, and worked
themselves up to a point to be sat-
isfied with the second premium
for the Jones county exhibit and
got down to work aga-i. It is
well enough to get up a stir and a
good old social mixnp once in a
while like that the fair worked
up. It makes everybody feel bet¬
ter. and then we can go to work
more heartily afterwards. Such
things get our thoughts out of tho
old bumpy ruts, which is restful
to the brain and gives us some¬
thing out of tho regular routine to
calk about.
Nearly everybody up this way
is digging potatoes. Some crops
are fine both ns to yield and size,
We are now ready for potato pud¬
ding, slice pie, roast, baked and
tried potatoes. As the widow Be-
dot would say, “A potato is a good
thing to have about the house.”
For some time we hud no ex¬
press office at this place. Mr.
Geo, T. Pippin has been appoint¬
ed express <igent and now has an
office in the store of F S Johnson,
where he is ready to servo the
public at auy and all times.
Mr. Ed Smith of Monticello
must find some sort of attraction
at Round Oak. Of late he has
visited here several times and us¬
ually goes up about the school
house. He may be taking a spe¬
cial course from one or the other
of the teachers.
Horses! Horses!!
We have on hand at all times a
lot of high grade horses. Our
prices are reasonable and we guar¬
antee satisfaction. If you buy
from us and are not pleased re¬
turn yomr purchase and money
will be refunded.

JONESTAK.ES SECOND PRE¬
MIUM, $1,200.
SPALDING COUNTY WINS FIRST AT STATE FAIR
by close margin.
The State Fair the Greatest Exposition of Agricul¬
tural Products Ever Seen in the South.
Here’s to Spalding, the Empire
County of the Empire State of
the South, Right royal is the
title, and right well does our for¬
tunate competitor deserve it. The
State, the South nor the world
has over icon such a magnificent
display of forest, field and garden
products as was show'n by our suc¬
cessful competitor.
But at the same time wo take
to ourselves unlimited joilitica-
tion because of the fact, that the
Jones county display was only
three or four points below that of
Spalding, In fact we excel led
it ten points on agriculture but
wore beaten on garden products
and home industry. lit any case
the people of this county have
cause to feel proud of the part
they have played in the State
Fair. In the greatest contest be¬
tween counties for agricultural
supremacy tbe State has ever wit¬
nessed we stand second. There
is no room for regrets. We were
defeated in a contest of perfect
fairness on the part of our oppo¬
nent and absolute impartiality
on the part of the judges. This
nominal defeat should serve only
to stimulate the county to a more
determined effort in the next con-
test.
To those who have worked
for the success of the enterprise
the county is indebted for the
success it has attained. Nothing
has ever stirred the people to such
effort ns the desire to see the
county creditably represented.
Almost everyone contributed to
our success. President Sam - Bar¬
ron, Mr. ,T. T. Williams, Col. J.
M. Hunt and many others have
labored iucesoantly for success,
and they have no reason to feel
that their efforts have failed in
the slightest degree. More could
not have been done.
And not a little of the credit
for tho county’s achievement is
due to the ladies.
Not another county in the state
can boast of more patriotic, more
loyal or more public spirited
women than can wo. From its

Millinery at The Bazaar from
tho cheapest to tho most costly.
The Reason
Wo sold morn vehicles last year
than dealers that have boon in the
business for the Inst quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more ex¬
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now is quality. Thry
next consider the price. That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mnt-
tar. Quality and prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the best wagons and buggies
and then buy them so we can
undersell our competitors,
We got all tho discounts off by
paying spot cash.
We can prove all we say to be
true. Call and let us do it.
