' In Sunday night before Christ
mas. two of Dodge countv's farm
■vs ami sportsmen. Notary Public
hnrh*y .Mines and Mr. John Gra
ham were seen at the farm house
of Rev. J. T. Rogers. Among
other baggage was breech-loading
artillery and blankets, which sug
gest the object of the visit. With
an equal number from this place
the gentlemen named dined Mon
day in the gamy swamp of
key creek, just above the colllUj
e«ce with t he muddy Oconee. 11
was a bright, calm day. The in
terlaeing branches of the gigantic
trees on either bank of the noise
ness stream were bare,
Irolicsome squirrels and unstis
pectillg wild turkeys to the alert
mssofthe skilled gunners. About
1 o'clock the first shot was tired
an,] h v 4 tlw *'™ m V reined alive
-
with the rumbling music. Night
drove us from the four points of
* ]l<> compass and centered us
around a chunk tire where we had
tuned. ,. . T It , was interesting ■ , , • to , i hear !
the incidents of the evening . re- j
by the weary hunters. A
fair count showed that the party
from Dodge had bagged and deliv
°* Ul i 8&tety «-if t J v at H t i-uuds t,U, f three full j
giown squmels, . , veiy f la and do
sirable; the delegation from the
vniage showed ..pstm better—32
squirrels and two ducks, When I
supper was over, game dressed
and plans agreed upon for next
morning’s hunt, all seated them-!
selves around the tire and curling
smoke of cigars was bourne oil on j
the balmy night air. Appropri
ate yarns were dispensed and
niarty hearty laughs enjoyed.
Tlicii v.'O were sleepy, and with
heads pillowed on fodders and
limbs, resting on the lap ot
“mother earth,” dreams of success
the next morning took possession
of us. The night-was passed with¬
out molestation save from our
own restless companions. Break¬
fast was prepared by ’Squire Jones
and tempted all. The swamp was
shrouded with a heavy fog, which
scorned loath to evaporate before
the hidden sun, but before the
songs of the early birds were t!n
ished,our entire party were thread
ing their way through ((uagmire.s
and nrirshes, putting to death
little busily tail .miniHo,
came down low enough. At 12
o’clock we were due at camps. All
()rt< , t | exce p t ]yj r . Graham,
'pj iei . e came 110 res p 0nse to our re
I)ea t,.d calls, and fears that he was
, os , in t i ie dismal swamp chilled
^ »s quir0 Jones expressed very
irrave t ] 0 „bt 8 as io the safety of
ab’ent ^ But he came at last .’
^ g lirrols vvi1h hini
Mr. .. Jones . beat that by - one-tlnrd, ,
the Reedy vSprings . party
'
double the aggregate , four times, .
All ........ told, the , hunt ? resulted
’ in <a
vor of Reedy Springs—42 squir¬
rels and 2 ducks, against 8 squir
rals. It is due the visiting parly
to say Mr. Graham hunted tur¬
keys and Mr. Jones says squirrels
ire harder to kill on the cypresses
of our fertile swamps than on the
black-jacks in Gum Swamp.
Come again, gentlemen, and re
leem yourselves.
