Our Fishing Trip.
The ninth, tenth and eleventh of
nil, 1901. Oh! how well I remem
ber those days. School had been
going on ever since Xmas, £*nd we
pupils had enjoyed only one holi
day; so some few patrons of the
school had compassion on us and
planned a fishing excursion.
On the ninth, which was Tuesday,
several men of the community went
to “Dixon’s Pond,” a distance of
three miles from the school house,
for the purpose of putting out nets
and lines. 'Wednesday, pretty soon-
after dinner, several ladies journeyed
to the same plaoe, being prepared to
fix the camps for the night. A va
cant house waB found near the pond,
and here they spread the beds. They
also carried wdll-filled baskets, and
negro women to cook the fish, if wo
should happen to the good luck of
catohing any. Near 4 o’clock wag
ons came for us school children and
teachers. The ride there, being most
of the way through woods, where
the beautiful violets could be seen,
was enjoyed immensely by all.
But don’t talk! If the ride there
was enjoyed, dear reader, you can
imagine the rest. Big, little, old
and young were like young colts
just entering a green pasture. A
group could be seen in one place
fishing, one in another catching
“mellow bugs” or playing in the
water, one in another telling jokes,
while others were busily engaged in
going from camp to pond and back,
etc.
Just at dusk we all retired to the
camp-fire, which was brightly blaz
ing near our little hut. In the mean
time supper was being prepared by
the older members of the company,
and the negroes, and we sat arourd
the camp-fire eagerly awaiting the
summons, which was late, but wel
come when it did come. Supper was
spread on I long, rude table, and
everybody stood around it to eat.
What a glorious feast we had. Af
ter supper, having five guitars along,
music and joke-telling were the
chief amusements until about eleven
o’clock, when everybody prepared to
retire. Beds were placed on the
floor of the little house, and just as
many as could get in, which was
thirty-two, made a desperate at
tempt to sleep, but it ended in al-
imost a complete failure, for there
jwere; several boys outside who had
no place to sleep, and being envious
of those who did, were determined

that they should not sleep any. Ev
erything imaginable that could be
done was done.
About four o’clock in the morn
ing we eirerged from the cabin, as
the boys were determined that we
should stay in there no longer. Af
ter each, in turn, told how little
they slept, and the boys laughed at
us as much as they wished, break
fast was announced. After that we
school children, with the teachers,
were hurried back to school. As the
road to school was difficult for fast
traveling, we gathered violets all
along the way.
But what will a day bring forth?
Our fun was over, and no lessons
prepared. Fortunately for us, our
teachers were along, and could say
nothing. All day long you could
hear pencils hit the floop, or see one
walk by another’s desk and pull his
hair to wake him. Then you could
see the teacher rub his eyes and
raise his head to hear the next les
son. (I can’t say whethpr he heard
it or not.
