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 .

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.
