holidays.
Wo are "tickled to death" with our
mall route. Mr. A. B. Crisp is our
chief carrier and la always on time. Mr.
Crisp says he would not give his route
for any in the State as it is so ploasant
for him to take the rounds every morn
ing. We think that Mr. B. A. Whar
ton could have said the same thing fif
teen years ago, so we are glad to know
that Mr. Crisp Is so woll ploased with
the people of his route.
J. D. W. Watts, B. A. Wharton and
Jim Wade Hill spent last Saturday and
hunted birds with J, T' A. Hallow. It
certainly tries the nerve of any man to
kill or claim as many birds as Capt.
Wharton. This Is J. T. A. Ballew's
final notice to all hunters when the
blrda and rabbits get in hunting order
that all of his frlonds are respectfully
Invited to hunt without further notice.
He says when ho first remembers see
ing light ho saw birds, and after he is
gono to answer the roll call there will
be birds hero still.
