SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
THE PILGRIMS RETURN.
Dr. en I Mrs. W. H. Harp. Mias. Hattie
Ella Howard and Meast's. A. J. Hill;
Milton Kent and E l Ghent-y. landed
home on the freight train last Saturday
a hungry, sleepy tired out, disappointed
nd(]uslv , rt of pilgririJ8> Xhey had
been invited to a big country ball in
Chattahoochee coutltv, and with jubi
lant hearts and digest anticipations they
took the night passenger train Friday
night to attend. The train by some
mishap, carried them beyond the point
at which their friends were to meet them
but they finally got back to the buggies
and hauled up at the place ot the ball
about 10 ociock that night still bouyant
over the prospects of good old time
country dance, such as our grand-fa
thers and mothers used to enjoy and
grow fat.
But imagine their surprise and discom
fort when a preacher popped in to stay
ail night about the same time that thev
did. Being a brother to the pater faiui
lias he put a quietus on the ball and the,
assembled dancers had to content them
selves for the remainder of the evening
with the tamest kind of social amuse
ments. The iiost was very kind and tried
to compensate in other ways, for the dis
appoint of his EllavLUe gutst, but their
woes reached a climax whtg they rush
ed down to the railroad next morning,
some of them in such haste as to miss
their breakfast, just in time to see the
rear end of the passenger coach pass
around the curve
Finally they gathered some small
grains of consolation by foraging on a
neighboring cane patch until the freight
came along and brought them home,
locking as solemn as owls.
FORTY YEARS AGO,
When Mrs. Susan Clegg, of this coun
ty, was a sedate matron of 42 years and
her younger brother J. B. Olmstead was
an ambitious young man of 20, they be
came seperated.
The sister remained here, " her. she
has given to the country some of it j
most gallant soldiers, prosperous farm
ers and energetic business men. The
brother, fired hy the enthusiasm and ad
venture of youth, sought fortune in the
boundless West, where he became pros
perous and happy. Years rolled on, forty
summers with sunshine and flowers and
forty winters «itli their snows and chil
ly winds recorded their exit on the cycle
of time. .Biff the brother and sister re
mained seperated.
Last week tlie brother Mr.Olmstead re
turned, his eyes dimmed by the touch of
Dine and his hair bleached by the frost
0 f sixty wint i\s. he found his sistt-r still
living, though bending under the weight
and cares of eighty two years. What a
joyt'u! meeting it must have been. We
draw down the curtains and leave them
to weep for joy 111 each others arms,
