of war times related the following
occurrence: Capt. Haygood said
the narrowest escape'he had was
during Gen. W>lson’s raid from
Vicksburg through Georgia. Af
ter the raid passed Columbus one
morning, after a hot picket fight
ail day, late in the afternoon the
Federal picket line had charged
the Confederates and was driving
them back, Capt. Haygood had
command of the picket line and
had given orders to fall back on
the next hill. Capt. Haygood re
mained at his post watching the
movements of the enemy, until fi
nally he was forced to retreat to
his picket line and as he was rid
ing at breakneck speed a Federal
soldier dashed up by his side.
Down the road they ran for a quar
ter of a mile with each of them
looking the other in the eye. They
were both heavily armed with two
large horse pistols apiece and a
sword. Capt. Haygood said that
neither of them spoke or attempt
ed to shoot the other, and that he
has never been able to explain the
feoling that came over him. Af
ter they had riden for a quarter of
a mile so close together that their
legs rubbed together the Federal
soldier stopped his horse and rode
back. In the next charge Capt.
Haygood was taken a prisoner and
made every effort possible to find
his riding companion, and says lie
would give most anything to see
.hat fellow and ask him his rea
son for not shooting, while he can’t
explain his own.
HARMONY GROVE HIGH SCHOOL.
The Harmony Grove High School
opened Monday morning under the
most favorable auspices. Eighty pu
pils were enrolled. Under the man
agement of Prof. Cobb last y°ar the
school averaged thirty-seven more in
attendance jhan any previous school
that lias ever been taught here. lie
has secured for his first assistant
Pt of. J. M. Pitner, first honor grad
uate of the North Georgia Military
College, of Dahlonoga He comes
well recommended both literary and
morally, and no doubt but that lie
will give entire satisfaction to tjhe
patrons. Mrs. Truitt is too favora
bly known to the people of this cod*
niuuity to need any comment at our
hands. Those whose children have
been under her care for the past two
years say she has the interest of the
pupils entrusted to her care at heart,
and anyone having children to edu
would do well to put them under
Mrs. Truitt’s charge. There are
many reasons why Harmony Grove
should become an educational center.
Ist. Her enterprising citizens have
gone ahead and built one of the
best school buildings in Northeast
Georgia. .2nd. It is located on the
corner of three of the best farming
counties in Georgia. 3rd. It is one
the healthiest localities to be found
anywhere, with good churches, good
society and one of the busiest and
most progressive towns in Georgia.
Let everybody do all they can to
make the Harmony Grove High
School the best in the country and
the outlook is that it will be.
A PLEASANT EVENING.
One of the most pleasant social
events of the season was given by
Misses Dora and Claud Carson at
their home on High street Monday
evening in honor of their guest, Miss
Elba Hobbs, of Gainesville. The
parlor was beautifuUv decorated
with roses and geraniums, and the
young ladies were dressed in the
daintiest of attires, and a more beau
tiful lot of fair guests never graced a
parlor in Georgia. Misses Sanders,
Stapler and Ladie Goss treated the
guests with sweet music, which we
imagine resembled the singing in
heaven more than ou earth. At 10
i o'clock the guests were led into the
j front lawn where two large tables
were loaded down with red, sweet,
! juicy, delicious, melons and aij old’
fashion watermelon eating was in
dulged in. The following guests
were present; AJr, John ilanjuiau
Miss Florence Sanders; Dr. \V. I>.

Deadwvler with Miss Ladle Goss;

Miss Pearl Power, Mr. A. G. Stark!
with Miss Etta Thomas; Mr. J. M.
Carson with Miss Liz/.ic Wood. The
stags were Messrs. John Montgomery
and P. W. Sheppard. Misses Car
son andMrs.T. E. Key know precise
ly Tow to entertain, and at a late hour
tlie guests took their departure to
dream of the happy evening they
had spent.
MARY’S MISTAKE.
Mary had a.little lamb
Its fleece wa? white as snow,
It strayed away one summer day
Where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat'her quickly down
And tears streamed down her eyes
She never found the lamb because
She did not advertise.
And Alary has a brother John,
Who kepf a village store,
He sat him down, smoked his pipe,
And blinked his sleepy eyes.
And so the sheriff closed him out,
But still he lingered near,
And Mary came to drop with him
A sympathetic tear.
“How is it sister, can you tell
Why other merchants here
Sell all their goods so readily
And thrive from year to year?”
Remembering her own bad luck
The little maid replies:
“Those other fellows get there John
Because they advertise.”
