neighborhood Barbecue.
i ■
Our Team Did Good Shooting.
A Houston county barbecue is
the standard of excellence of an
out-door dinner. Suoh a dinner
was the culinary feature of a
neighborhood reunion at Small
Academy last Saturday.
About a dozen Perry people
were among the invited guests,
and the entire assemblage aggre
gated 200 or more.
Small Academy is about six
miles west of Perry, the center of
an attractive neighborhood of
prosperous and progressive farm
ers—none better in the county.
A liberal proportion of the as
semblage were charming young
ladies, gallant young men, at
tractive matrons, pretty children.
During the morning these assem
bled in the school house, and to
organ accompanient, sacred songs
were harmoniously rendered.
As usual, the older people were
more quiet, but their social en
joyment was none the less full.
On account of the unavoidable
delay in the arrival of an impor
tant element, the dinner was
late.
1 he table was in the oak grove
near the school house, and it was
loaded to its full capaoity. Rev.
J. W. Simmons invoked the di
vine blessing, and then all heart
ily responded to the invitation
to “help yourselves.”
Of barbecued pork, mutton and
kid, there was more than enough,
and none better has' ever been
served auywhere. There were oth
er picnic etoeteras, making au
out-door dinner that has not been,
nor ever will be surpassed. In
most agreeable harmony with the
dinner, was the cordial hospitali
ty of those who provided it.
After dinner Rev J. W. Sim
mons started a subscription to
build a churoh there, and half
enough for the shell of the build
ing was pledged. There was
more vocal music in the school
house. County School Commis
sioner Geo. W. Smith was then
introduced, add delivered an ex
oelleut educational address, em
phasizing the necessity of a fall
term at each public school in the
county, in addition to the regu
lar spring term provided by the
state. Toward the middle of the
afternoon adieus were spoken,
all having enjoyed a most pleas
ant outing, a genuine reunion of
friends.
Suoh gatherings are beneficial
from whatever view point con
sidered, and in every neighbor
hood ( they should be of annual
occurrence.
May these good people and
their friends enjoy many more
like that of last Saturday.
Sergt. C. C. Duncau, Jr , Corp.
B, H. Andrew, Privates E. E.
King. R. B. Starbuck and Court
ney Hodges, the rifle team of tbe
Perry Rifles, returned home last
Saturday, having attended the
state shoot camp at* Savannah
from Monday morning to ^Friday
evening
While the team did not win a
prize, Sergt. Duncan says their
score was better than that of two-
thirds of the teams present. Their
s [looting was good, ranging from
i 0 to 70 per cent, from 200 to 600
yards, but they did not complete
all the shoots, on account of rain
two days.
Each member of the, team won
loaition on a regimental team,
Starbuck and Hodges on the sec
ond—there being four teams of
ten men each to each regiment.
Courtney Hodges, tbe youngest
member of the company—proba
bly the youngest engaged in the
state shoot—led the score in the
regimental team shoot, and made
47 out of a possible 100 in the
skirmish shoot, Col. Caun, com
mander of the camp, compliment
ing him, saying it was a remarka
ble record for the first attempt.
He also made a total score more
than demanded for a marksman’s
badge, though he didn’t have the
opportunity to shoot at two or
three targets.
Messrs. King and Starbuck also
made good scores.
The trip was enjoyed, though
all say the cooking was bad.
The trophies of the shoot were
won by Savannah, Macon and
Swainsboro teams, men with rec
ords made at previous shoots.
No member of our team ever
before shot on a military range.

A Guessing Party.
On Tuesday last several gay
spinsters were invited to spend a
few hours of the evening'guests of
Miss Amelia Rogers.
At eight o’clock we gathered
each, as had been requested, with
a written description of some
one present—the company to
guess the original. The desbrip
tione were true for the most part
ranging from the sublime to the
ridiculous, showing,however, con
siderable talent in this special
line, as the originals were guessed
without trouble.
This feature over, we spent a
m
short while quite pleasantly
games and other ways in which
girls are wont to enjoy them
selves, when Mrs. Rogers and
Master Cater served us dainty re
freshments. '
At a rather late hour for a “hen
uery” to close, we reluctantly
took our leave, each declaring the
evening to have been one of those
“good times.”
To add still more to our pleas
ure our hostess, with her mother
escorted the party to ■ their res
peotive homes,again calling down
our blessings on their heads.
