Highway 19 South 883-0042 Seminole Ramlins By Jack Wingate When the '"Old Boys” wrote the constitution of these New Ninted States, they sed there would be a seperation of church & state, well they never sed nuthin about min istries & state. With "Ministries” popping up on every street cor ner there has got to be Tax money being spent on them somehow) looks to me like. Two boating accidents on the lake this week which brings to mind all the safety steps we should follow when boating. If you don't know them call The Corp of Eng. the U.S. Coast Guard, Decateur Co Rescue Squad, or us down at Wingate's. Sylvester Parker of Thomasville whipped up on a big ole Bass this week. I'd say near 81 bs. of real pretty bass. Mr. Jim Trogen had a live well full Big ole bass in the 5 to 6 lbs. class. Bass in general has been a little off this week but that's just fishen. There was a couple of rite good catches of hybred's made this week on spoons and jigs. Larry' Camble hooked and landed one at about 8 lbs. for a nice pic. When you land a hybred you jist well bring him home cause most times he will die anyway. He gives you all he's got when hooked. The Perch (specks) took to hit ting a we bit better this week but still improvement is needed we think. Bream has been very good for those that went after them. I had my limit early Sunday and See Ramlins, Page 2B Did you venture out to the Park Street complex this past week end to take in some of the Dixie Youth Baseball Major League State Tournament?

My small staff does the best they can and when you put the countless number of volun teers that pitched in prior to the start of the tournament AND dur ing the tournament, it makes a huge difference.
