II E EVENING GALL. Pol. X. No. 236 THE FLAT SHOALS CROWD. An Intereßing Letter Written by One of the Boys- Flat Shoals, Ga., June 7, 1899. Io Ihe Call: Perhaps some oi our friends al home would like lo hear from us, and what we are doing down here, eo wo will write them n short In ter through the columns of your paper, e to inform them that we arrived at Neal E' safely, and were met there by Capt. Hartnett with Vehicles lo convey us over to the shoals, a distance of about 2 miles. We are now cumfortab'y located at the spacious and hospilub.o t.cme of Capt. and Mrs Hartnett, and to say wo are faring sumptuously would only be telling the truth, as ail know, who I have ever been fortunate enough to be with them. We are all growing fat, eating good old country hams, fried chicken, fresh vegetables, drinking lemonade, cool milk, champagne-cider, and other good things. Even Lyndon Patterson is becoming so abdominally protubula ted that his friends would hardly rec* ognizs him Very soon after we gut here, the gills of our party—“ God bless their dear sweet souls”—decided we should have a set of rules and regulations for our governance while here, so they proceeded at once to write them out, so 1 will give them to you j i«t as we found them tacked upon our doors with “iiair— r ?i n ® wonmn , B niost its* dispensible ornament, and principal weapon of defense : Rule 1. All you (Eu) nice boys are expected to make love to the girls “Daily.” AU they “Saw—tell” not. They must get theircourtshipsdown ‘ Pat,” er so(o)n there will be a “Ter* i i ble” 1 Slaughter” of “Heads ’ If in courting, they are only after the “Rich-Ard*,” odds will be against them, for Riches are “Perry”-3hab)e. That Dav-is a dear boy, but needs a ' Cunniugh-ham” (much) in bis court-1 ship, for his heart is like “Fiynt.” Lelia and Evie and Carlie and Jim, We’ed like to make puns On each her and him But their names are so hard We will have to discard AH idea of punning on them. These are “Hard-nuts” to crack, But we will not take them back— But will end with a "Balla'd." Now, it is unnecessary to state that the boys complied very strictly with the first rule prescribed, but thought that the others could take care of themselves, and were certain of the fact that the “Hartnett’s and Ballards w nld take care of us all.” We are enjoying the pleasure of fi-hing, bout-riding, and oth< * tilings i< numerous to mention in this short noli—one of which, however, is to sit out upon the wide, airy veranda in the in evening and listen to the sweet rt rains of music, as it quickens into under the soft :< uch of the talent* ed mu-iciat.s that we have with us. And as the last note from the instru ments floats over Ihe river to the hills beyond, and 'he last dj ing echo is lost in the “shadow of the pines,” we bear the chaperones calling out midnight; and all is well, but it is “time all hon es. people were retiring,” and we . . i would retire to dream over the antici pated pleasure of the following day. Happily we have not had a single incident or accident of an unpleasant nature to occur, to in the least, mar , the pleasure of a week’s stay. And we will leave regretfully, but , with many sw<et mt tn mes to cherish, 1 of the pleasant h mrs that we have •R' tit here, and will I >k forward to the time wb< n we may n. et again at this beautiful spot that Nature bis so , beautifully blessed Yours, etc , Obi: Os THE Bi V- A Narrow Escapj.
