life again md in a ‘How few day^j
'bo rebed in'.,green. de
lightful it -wid be to sit under
the "wide spreading branches of
the dear, old oak, “the king of.the
forest,” and listen to the little
feathered songsters.as they sing
their sweet songs of joy, V>'ho is
fit that can’t enjoy the sweet,balmy
of spring? The little
violets are peeping up their
]j|irp!e heads all over tlie woods
and the little yellow jessamines
aro tvving their tender postrals
ar- .und every bush and twig in
in roach.
While. 1 write I can look out of
the window and see such a beau¬
tiful picture. A largo ylum tree,
rolled in blossoms of spotless
white, twined around with yellow
jessamines. A few days ago, as I
was rambling in the woods in
search of flowers, I was enchanted
by the beautiful scene that sur¬
rounded me. In the trees above
me I could hear the twittering of
so many beautiful little birds as
they wore singing their good
night songs; and far in the dis
fence I could hear the tingling
of tiie cow bells as they caine
H^dv through the meadows on
||||ih*ro the barn, where the
B^'or ■irr wails to feed and
the night. While
^^surrounded I am sud
doir irrupted by a splashing
in tho stream near by, and taking
a few steps in that direction
brings mo to the banks of its
sparkling waters. Several beauti¬
ful geese are swimming and play¬
ing in the waters beneath me. As
I look farther down (lie stream 1
can sec the beautiful waters stop¬
ping only a moment to play in
the last rays of the setting sun,
then making such sweet music as
it was dancing merrily over the
stony pebble on its way to the sea.
And as slowly wind my way

A Possum Hunt.
Not so very long ago
some of my comrades ancl I
went out. on a big possum hunt.
The night, was very dark and
gloomy, so that v.e could hardly
seo ten feet from us and in a
short tun ■ after we h:*l wt out on
our hunt I almost regretted that
I had not staid at homo. We
all tried to be lively as possible
and we made music wherever
we went. We had been hunting
for nearly two hours, and were
growing tired and sh*mv v, when
we heard the cheerful hrk of
our deg. “A possum ! a possum!”
shouted the boys and we had
new life and vigor about
Soon wo reached the ,
the dog was barking, a
kindled, and wo began to
for the possum’s eyes. The
of the little tree were very (hick
renderng it almostimp«#ible to
sco through them One boy pro
posed climbing the tree; to it
we all agreed, and soon he was
asceniding in the darkness He
had gone up only a short ways
when one fellw said “Hold on!
hold on I see his -eyes!” Tho
climber stopped to see what, was
going to be done. By this time
the boy with the light had. a good
sized knot in his hand. Now watch
said lie. I am going to bring him
out,” whir whiz! w?nt (he knot,
striking the boy between the eyes,
for he had shined the feoyss eyes
instead of possums Such a noise
you never heard as the boy made
as lie came funding down through
the limbs. When ho struck terra
fniia, ho was swearng vengenec
against tho scoundrel who hit him

look for the p. again. I see him

ga idl would wind up his ballot'

musket, kick me down and sitting

me, and I believe would have been

Sabbath Breaking.
It is with pain and shame man'
ling my cheek for the good order
and Sabbath quietness that ought
to be in Statesboro on the Lord’s
day, t'lat I offer these few ]j^
^J^rnoon publication. On last Sunday
tliofehghborhood of th<*
& S. railrc^l was made hidi Wis
the whom* nd veils of a crowd
of boys, whoso parents did not
know where they were, who were
violating tire fourth command
m.mt, “Remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy,” etc. I know
not who they were, but their pres
ence at that place was loudly
manifest, A stranger coming
into town at that time would have
gotten a very poor impression
how our children are being raised•
they certainly would have thought
that wo are a crowd of heathen.
A heartfelt desire for the wel
fare of our beautiful town and a
desiro that people may
tracted here
promoted this communication,and
suet; carolessnes on the part of
the parents of Statesboro will not
go. far toward the desired end.
Hoping there will be no more of
it, I am Statesboro’s hearty
Well Wisher.
